It provides the most accurate and up-to-date information on chondrichthyans in British Columbia waters, including detailed species descriptions and identification information. Richly illustrated and with underwater photographs by Andy Murch, Sharks, Skates, Rays and Chimeras of British Columbia presents sharks and their relatives as valuable members of our coastal fish community, worthy of respect, study, admiration and protection.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, 225 pages, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear. Book is clean with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- From the back cover: "A thorough analysis of the problems confronting the West, particularly in the political, social and economic spheres, with emphasis on their doctrinal and ideological foundation. A high quality diagnosis of its ills is presented in strongly critical terms. The author's vision of the way ahead contains concrete examples of the threat it faces, and weighs the chances of the West economic survival. The solutions Professor Guzek puts forward are innovative and attractive." (Professor Josef M. Fiszer) -- "This is an author who continues to put forward his concerns about the future of the market economies in Western societies. Original in thought and analysis, it contains stimulating discussion and a fresh approach. The work can play a significant role in the current literature on the subject, and is at the cutting edge of new discussion in these areas. It goes beyond the traditional limits of writing on economics." (Professor Marek Ratajczak) -- "This important book is the first in the English language to highlight the parallels between the techniques of Marxism and of libertarianism in disrupting the democracies of the West. Both fly under the radar by infiltrating on the one hand the social democratic parties on the left, and on the other the centre right parties which are more often in government. Fellow travellers on both sides of the political equation attempt to influence social and economic policies, thus damaging the credibility of the mainstream parties. Marian Guzek has drawn attention in graphic terms to the consequences, and to how near the West is to the tipping point." (Editor Gavin McFarlane) -- Gavin McFarlane, PhD, is a retired London Barrister who specialised in international trade law and wrote widely on that subject. Marian Guzek is a Polish Professor of economic science. Under communism he was a political prisoner and subsequently supported the Solidarity movement. At present he lectures in international economics and macroeconomic policy at the Lazarski University in Warsaw. The book is recommended for persons interested in economics, politics and social problems.

Hardback. Condition: New. The medical humanities are becoming increasingly important as their first wave is interrogated by a critical approach that aims to uncover the wider possibilities of the field. In conversation with this debate, this volume explores the ways in which science fiction studies can contribute to such discussions. Science fiction challenges techno-optimism and offers a non-realist avenue for the expression of illness experience. Science fiction also estranges its readers from their societies and the medical possibilities inherent in those societies, inviting consideration of how medicine may be complicit with, or opposed to, other structures of power. By engaging these concerns, this Companion volume offers a unique viewpoint on the power of the future to shape the present.
