Home in the City

Urban Aboriginal Housing and Living Conditions

During the past several decades, the Aboriginal population of Canada has become so urbanized that today, the majority of First Nations and Métis people live in cities. Home in the City provides an in-depth analysis of urban Aboriginal housing, living conditions, issues, and trends. Based on extensive research, including interviews with more than three thousand residents, it allows for the emergence of a new, contemporary, and more realistic portrait of Aboriginal people in Canada's urban centres. Home on the City focuses on Saskatoon, which has both one of the highest proportions of Aboriginal residents in the country and the highest percentage of Aboriginal people living below the poverty line. While the book details negative aspects of urban Aboriginal life (such as persistent poverty, health problems, and racism), it also highlights many positive developments: the emergence of an Aboriginal middle class, inner-city renewal, innovative collaboration with municipal and community organizations, and more. Alan B. Anderson and the volume's contributors provide an important resource for understanding contemporary Aboriginal life in Canada.

Urban Aboriginal Homebuilding Apprenticeships ALAN THOMARAT Introduction
The residential construction industry is being challenged with chronic shortages
of skilled labour. The issue is generally not the number of applicants but the skills
available. New technologies, building systems, and materials have created skill
gaps between those with experience and those attempting to enter the industry (
Construction Sector Council 2004). This situation will only grow worse now that ...

Relativity: The Theory and Its Philosophy

Foundations & Philosophy of Science & Technology

Relativity: The Theory and its Philosophy provides a completely self-contained treatment of the philosophical foundations of the theory of relativity. It also surveys the most essential mathematical techniques and concepts that are indispensable to an understanding of the foundations of both the special and general theories of relativity. In short, the book includes a crash course in applied mathematics, ranging from elementary trigonometry to the classical tensor calculus. Comprised of 11 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to fundamental mathematical concepts such as sets, relations, and functions; N-tuples, vectors, and matrices; and vector algebra and calculus. The discussion then turns to the concept of relativity and elementary foundations of Newtonian mechanics, as well as the principle of special relativity and its interpretation by means of empiricism and rationalism. Subsequent chapters focus on the status of the doctrine of conventionalism in the theory of special relativity; the commensurability of classical and relativistic mechanics; mathematical foundations of special relativistic physics; and the classical or Newtonian theory of gravitation. The principle of general covariance and its relation to the principle of general relativity are also examined. The final chapter addresses the fundamental question as to the actual information concerning the structure of spacetime that is conveyed to us through the theory of general relativity. This monograph will be of interest to students, teachers, practitioners, and researchers in physics, mathematics, and philosophy.

The aim of Hilbert and his followers was to establish various metamathematical
properties of mathematical theories, such as consistency and completeness, on
the basis of purely formal, syntactical features of such theories. This programme
may be carried out by first disinterpreting the various primitive, descriptive
predicates and terms of the theory of interest. That is to say, that they are
replaced by purely symbolic placeholders and variables. Thus, after
disinterpretation a relation such ...
