The Democracy Cookbook is a collection of short and snappy, non-partisan opinion pieces authored by a cross-section of opinion leaders, academics, creative writers and other citizens. It also features some politically-themed poetry and food recipes. A unique form of grassroots mobilization, the book brings together a wide variety of voices to speak to the matter of "fixing" democratic governance in Newfoundland and Labrador after a period of acute political turmoil. It can be a useful model for jurisdictions across Canada and for small polities worldwide seeking to engage the public in debate about how democratic structures and processes should evolve. The Democracy Cookbook promises to stir up conversations around cabinet tables and kitchen tables alike.

Why did the Beothuks become extinct? What is the cultural importance of sealing in Newfoundland? Why were provincial parks privatized? How can we allow people traditional access to the outdoors? How can we understand conflicts over Atlantic salmon in Labrador between Metis people and fishing camp outfitters? How and why did the cod crisis happen? What impact has the cod crisis had on women in small fishing villages? Are the benefits of resource developments like the Terra Nova offshore oil project being maximized? From Red Ochre to Black Gold contains ten essays on various aspects of Newfoundland and Labrador's history and culture. The book covers the broad sweep of history, from the stone arrowheads and wooden carvings of the Beothuks to the highly advanced technology employed today to pump oil from beneath the ocean floor.

Over the past decade, the introspective, insular, and largely atheoretical style that informed Canadian political science for most of the postwar period has given way to a deeper engagement with, and integration into, the global field of comparative politics. This volume is the first sustained attempt to describe, analyze, and assess the "comparative turn" in Canadian political science. Canada's engagement with comparative politics is examined with a focus on three central questions: In what ways, and how successfully, have Canadian scholars contributed to the study of comparative politics? How does study of the Canadian case advance the comparative discipline? Finally, can Canadian practice and policy be reproduced in other countries?
