THE WAR ON SCIENCE
TURNER, CHRIS
In this arresting and passionately argued indictment, award-winning journalist Chris Turner argues that
Stephen Harper's attack on basic science, science communication, environmental regulations, and the
environmental NGO community is the most vicious assault ever waged by a Canadian government on
the fundamental principles of the Enlightenment. From the closure of Arctic research stations as oil
drilling begins in the High Arctic to slashed research budgets in agriculture, dramatic changes to the
nation’s fisheries policy, and the muzzling of government scientists, Harper's government has
effectively dismantled Canada's long-standing scientific tradition.

THE WAR THAT ENDED PEACE
MACMILLAN, MARGARET
The First World War followed a period of sustained peace in Europe during which people talked with
confidence of prosperity, progress, and hope. But in 1914, Europe walked into a catastrophic conflict that
killed millions, bled its economies dry, shook empires and societies to pieces, and fatally undermined
Europe’s dominance of the world. It was a war that could have been avoided up to the last moment—so
why did it happen? Beginning in the early nineteenth century and ending with the assassination of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, award-winning historian Margaret Macmillan uncovers the huge political and
technological changes, national decisions, and just as important, the small moments of human muddle
and weakness that led Europe from peace to disaster. This masterful exploration of how Europe chose its
path towards war will change and enrich how we see this defining moment in history.
