Human Welfare, Rights, and Social Activism
J.S. Woodsworth, a founding member and leader of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (forerunner of the New Democratic Party) and member of Parliament, was a social policy pioneer who promoted human welfare and rights over interests of property or finance. The essays in Human Welfare, Rights, and Social Activism explore the contemporary significance of Woodsworth's human rights framework by examining current social welfare objectives.
Canadians continue to grapple with the enduring question of how to accommodate and reconcile social diversity and difference while articulating a common interest and advancing human rights, both domestically and internationally. These interdisciplinary essays address such issues as globalization, labour rights and law, the gendered and racialized dimensions of transnational labour, the relationship between human rights, social programs, and social rights, and the emergent cultural politics of difference. Taken as a whole, these essays pursue a careful consideration of the historical and contemporary exclusions to polity that occur around gender, ethnicity, class, and race.

Batman by Neal Adams
\"Experience all of Neal Adams' legendary Batman work--covers and stories--in chronological order! Batman by Neal Adams Book One contains Adams' contributions to the Dark Knight's legacy from 1967 through 1969, showing the process of introduction, adaption and innovation that the young artist brought to this legendary crime-fighter! Over the years, only a handful of artists have truly shaped the look of DC Comics' Batman. But since the original creation of the character in the 1930s by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, undoubtedly the most influential individual to take up the mantle of the Bat is Neal Adams. Beginning in the late 1960s and continuing through the 1970s, Adams' reimagining of \"the Batman\" revitalized the Caped Crusader for an entire generation of fans, rescuing him from TV-inspired campiness and returning him to his roots as a shadowy urban vigilante. In Adams' talented hands, Batman matured into \"the Dark Knight\"--a transformation that not only delighted readers and inspired his creative peers, but also planted the seeds for the 21st century's explosive growth of comics and superheroes into every corner of the world's popular culture.\"-- Provided by publisher.
