Libro Prima edizione
Paperback. Condizione: Fair. First Edition. 194 pages including index and bibliography. Analyzes the respective roles of government and the voluntary sector in the financing and administration of social services. Focusing on developments in British Columbia from 1983 to 1991, when the Social Credit government actively pursued a policy of privatization, this book examines the growth of the voluntary sector there and presents data which track the impact of privatization on services. Examines the issues of funding and accountability of the voluntary sector as it adopts the public agent role and increasingly delivers services on behalf of the government. Raises important issues about government privatization policies and about the possible effects these policies will have on the future of the welfare state in Western society. Usual library markings. Average wear. A worthy working copy.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. 174 pages. Footnotes. Index. Black and white photographic plates. Map. Text in English. "Written secretly at Longbottom prison, Lepailleur's day-to-day journal is a unique document. His daily record comments on beatings, thefts, marital relations, wages and prices. A detailed account is given of corrupt officialdom and police brutality, of the hatred inspired by collaborators and the solace brought by religion and the kindliness of neighbours and clergy. Above all, he conveys the emotional dimensions of the experience and the gradual degeneration of the human spirit." - dust jacket. Book clean and unmarked with light wear. Moderate wear to dust jacket now preserved in mylar. A quality copy.

Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. 218 pages. From limited edition of 1600 copies. "Concerned entirely with the Haidas of the Queen Charlotte Islands of the last century, the intricacies of the kinship patterns of the great families, and how they saw themselves as part of a fantastic, but in its own terms, logical, cosmos, and most of all how this was all expressed in their remarkable architecture with its perfectly integrated massive carved and painted embellishments, the great totem poles of the Haidas." - from Foreward. "The documentary photographs that survive are among the few remaining records which illustrate the richness and variety of Haida monumental art. Of the more than five hundred carved poles which appear in the plates, only about fifty were removed to museums for safekeeping. The remainder have perished entirely or survive at the village sites as decayed fragments overgrown with the lush vegetation of the islands." - from Preface. Light external wear and soiling to cream-coloured cloth-covered boards. No external markings. Discreet bookplate and bit of writing inside front board. Blindstamp to lower corner of title page. Bit of writing in upper left corner of title page. Remnant of card pocket inside back board. Binding tight. A quality copy of this magnificent work.
