This edition of "The Canadian Encyclopedia is the largest, most comprehensive book ever published in Canada for the general reader. It is COMPLETE: every aspect of Canada, from its rock formations to its rock bands, is represented here. It is UNABRIDGED: all of the information in the four red volumes of the famous 1988 edition is contained here in this single volume. It has been EXPANDED: since 1988 teams of researchers have been diligently fleshing out old entries and recording new ones; as a result, the text from 1988 has grown by 50% to over 4,000,000 words. It has been UPDATED: the researchers and contributors worked hard to make the information as current as possible. Other words apply to this extraordinary work of scholarship: AUTHORITATIVE, RELIABLE and READABLE. Every entry is compiled by an expert. Equally important, every entry is written for a Canadian reader, from the Canadian point of view. The finished work - many years in the making, and the equivalent of forty average-sized books - is an extraordinary storehouse of information about our country. This book deserves pride of place on the bookshelf in every Canadian Home. It is no accident that the cover of this book is based on the Canadian flag. For the proud truth is that this volume represents a great national achievement. From its formal inception in 1979, this encyclopedia has always represented a vote of faith in Canada; in Canada as a separate place whose natural worlds and whose peoples and their achievements deserve to be recorded and celebrated. At the start of a new century and a new millennium, in an increasingly borderless corporate world that seems ever more hostile to nationaldistinctions and aspirations, this "Canadian Encyclopedia is offered in a spirit of defiance and of faith in our future. The statistics behind this volume are staggering. The opening sixty pages list the 250 Consultants, the roughly 4,000 Contributors (all experts in the field they describe) and the scores of researchers, editors, typesetters, proofreaders and others who contributed their skills to this massive project. The 2,640 pages incorporate over 10,000 articles and over 4,000,000 words, making it the largest - some might say the greatest - Canadian book ever published. There are, of course, many special features. These include a map of Canada, a special page comparing the key statistics of the 23 major Canadian cities, maps of our cities, a variety of tables and photographs, and finely detailed illustrations of our wildlife, not to mention the colourful, informative endpapers. But above all the book is "encyclopedic" - which the "Canadian Oxford Dictionary describes as "embracing all branches of learning." This means that (with rare exceptions) there is satisfaction for the reader who seeks information on any Canadian subject. From the first entry "A mari usque ad mare - "from sea to sea" (which is Canada's motto, and a good description of this volume's range) to the "Zouaves (who mustered in Quebec to fight for the beleaguered Papacy) there is the required summary of information, clearly and accurately presented. For the browser the constant variety of entries and the lure of regular cross-references will provide hours of fasination. The word "encyclopedia" derives from Greek expressions alluding to a grand "circle of knowledge." Our knowledge has expandedimmeasurably since the time that one mnd could encompass all that was known.Yet now Canada's finest scientists, academics and specialists have distilled their knowledge of our country between the covers of one volume. The result is a book for every Canadian who values learning, and values Canada.

…A hard dialectical conversation between a Clinician in Practical Oncology and a Theoretician of the Philosophical Onccologicum… …It is Pragmatism versus Idealism, or the battlefield between the Physician of the Hippocratic Oath and the Metaphysician of the Platonic Eidos... Why this title or belittled through the apparently same term in Oncology, but written into a dissimilarity form, Onccology-Onkkologie? Is it a confrontation between English terminology and the German one? Or a synthesis between the two like in Denglish? Could be this terrible human tumor defeated through a counter tumor? Tumor cell to be annihilated through an Anti-tumor Cell? A cancer cell defeated through an anti-tumor Cell? Could the classical concept to give birth to the anti-concept? Alternatively, classical terminology to give birth to anti-terminology? …to such questions, our endeavor book is trying to give an answer, at least in a theoretical form and expression… Onccologist & Onkkologist

The human history has many white links throughout its genesis phases, throughout its evolutionary and devolutionary periods and throughout its controversial becoming and fulfillments… One of this high dramatic controversial field is the persistence overall in Western Hemisphere of the concept of Race within the Specie Sapiens, Genus Homo, Hominid Family, Order Primate, Class Mammalia, Phylum Vertebrata, Kingdom Animalia, despite of anthropological and genetically advancements in a scientific argumentative way of the Species Sapiens without different Races within… Even if the World’s Politics and the World’s Media are still stubborn in presenting and defending the idea of different Races within our unique Species Sapiens, the biologic realities with scientific proofs are beyond of any doubt in favor of the Sapiens Species without different Races within, by putting thus aside a class of political and social concepts as race and racist, Rasse und Rassismus, with subsequent concept-o-logical developments of Pro-rassismus and Anti-rassismus… Sapientologist

Could be re-thought and re-made another relationship between maximal Individuality of Human Being seen and analyzed as Dasein or Being and its maximal generality of the Species to whom belongs the Human Being, seen and analyzed as Sapiens?... Nevertheless, Sapiens means intelligence, means ability in creativity, whatever in science, technology, art or architecture, in writing books and building up schools, universities or libraries… However, the Book-in-itself, Buch-in-sich-selbst, can be seen as a Being / Dasein in motion and emotion… It would be logically or even rational to put in the same level of conceptological field, whatever in inwards field or outer field Being and Book, i.e., Dasein & Buch?... Moreover, The Being of Book, das Dasein des Büchers, could be re-asserted into the relationship between Books and Library, Büchern & Bibliothek, likewise Being & Species, or Dasein & Spezies, i.e., DASEIN & SAPIENS?... …Finally, our book will have the overall title, the general onoma as DASEIN & SAPIENS, including thus, Book, Being, Library, Species, Creativity, Inspiration, Intuition, Hardworking, Anonymity, Encouragements through myself, Humiliations, Underestimation, Rejections and Threatens… Booksologist

No one is an island entire of itself, whoever she or he is… Everyone out of Species Sapiens has been involved into Mankind, in the last of ca. about 50.000 years of the supposed age of our Species Sapiens, belonging to Genus Homo Anthropos, then to Hominid Family, Order Primate, Class Mammals, Phylum Vertebrata and Kingdom Animals… Ultimately, what is known, what is uncertain and what is unknown in our relationship Subconscious – Consciousness, could be a strong investigation through a synthesis between philosophy, theology and psychology, by trying to explain, at least in part, in which way the instinct of the ancestors of Species Sapiens (direct line through Primate – Hominids – Homo), had been changed in reason, while the ancestors biology of the surviving was changed into human technology of conquering… Reason and Technology (condensed within the concept of culture) both towards the creative conscious of human, through the mystery of neo-cortex, by preserving in the same time, all the basic instinct, and survival ability, which is primarily the basic function of the paleo-cortex, considered to be the location of the sub-consciousness… Neocortexologist

WATCHWORD …What really means ENS HUNGARY? There is a BEING OF HUNGARY? Or an ENS of Hungary? A maximal generalities of Hungary History, as Being Hungary, as ENS Hungary? Generaly speaking, Yes! The ENS itself is a Being coming from Sapiens, being the last syllable out of three syllabic SA - PI- ENS! Therefore, ENS HUNGARY is an essence and existence of Hungary, as country, as nation, as folk, as land, as aspiration, as hopes, as destiny, as endlessly dramatic events undergone within its own history and historiology! Once again, it is to underline Ens Hungary through its own Hungary, by allowing thus to an individual (the present author), to be placed inside of events and dramas of Hungary as Being of Hungary, as Ens Being of Hungary, exploring and reexploring the destiny of this country-land out of Eastern and Central Europe! …But, we are under pressure in rethinking and um - thinking of the whole of the European Union history and historiology, after big waves of union’s earthquakes, by mentioning here the big financial crisis between 2008-2010, or the Brexit of Great Britain, an embittered fought inside of the European Union between the years 2016 and the present year of 2023, by underlining here, the critical relationship of Hungary with European Union… …It is not mentioned here the waves of migrants in the last twenty years towards European Union, with Hungary in opposition stanedpoint, or Corona dramas – waves, by mentioning here the Hunarian Nobel price research Katalin Korika from Budapest, who has great results on mtMitochondrion! By retaking de Corona dramas, through which a world of social pathology is accompanied and enhanced by a dramatic pandemic’s world of biologic pathology, this one being one of the worst issues of viral disease, out-breaking in the year 2020, having catastrophic consequences over European Union in its totality… …Also, we will remake another configuration of the initial CONSTITUTION OF EUROPE (with Hungary – in fight – for – national proud), written and rewritten published and republished with about 15 years ago, resembling a parallel dialectical becoming between a finisher and a re-finisher in constitution or between an influencer and re-influencer in social sciences… Terminology of different constitutions will be different in their substance and their semantics and meaning, reflecting the difference in temporality and creativity of the author, but the basic principles of ethics and morality are into the both constitutions, the sameness … If European Union (enhanced with controversial Hungary), needs a constitution, then, European Union must know very well the history of Europe itself, must know their inhabitants, the native, the people and the citizens of Europe, (including those of Hungary), including the science and technology of Europe (including those coming from Hungary), including the art and religions of Europe (without to underestimate Hungary), including the geography and demography of Europe (an European Hungary), since the oldest times of Upper Paleolithic, of Neolithic, of Antiquity, of Middle Age, of Renaissance, of Enlightenment, of Modern Times and of present Third Millennium Times, all in detail, all in reality, all in morality and rationality, including here the ideologies, the irrationality and tragedies of Europe (including here Hungary), culminating in 20th century, with two world wars (with Hungary into the middle of tragedies)… More than that, our Constitution of European Union is desired to be and to become, a pilot project in searching and researching in anthropo-sapientology, a vector of axiological and epistemological substance in knowledge and discoveries, in theology and psychologies, without to avoid Hungary… …It is the first time in Human Known History and Historiology (as logos of history, as reasoning of history, as wisdom of history), when, a Constitution is becoming also a vector of knowledge, an epistemological vector, sensing and re-sensing a searching and researching study - project in Antropos-Sapientology, finally, a form of concrete axiology – in – motion – and - emotion, a substantial gnoseology, having an explicit and implicit proper function of ethnology - in - oneself, for oneself and through oneself, through which Hungary is looking at its own history and historiology, regaining itself out of earthquakes of history… …A country, a nation, a folk, a people, needs to be studied in its deep structures of ethnology and history, of its difficulties and adversities throughout its own history, without to be condemn without of being aware about its own philosophical, psychological and theological structures and substructures… …A country, a nation, a folk, a people, needs to be understood in its own traditionally characteristics, by rethinking everything in its history and historiology, which is the core issue, regarding these set of four On Line books, named ENS HUNGARY!…
