In this short, accessible introductory survey of the history of the United States from 1790 to the present day, Edward J. Davies examines key themes in the evolution of America from colonial rule to international supremacy. Focusing particularly on those currents within U.S. history that have influenced the rest of the world, Davies examines key themes including industrialization, the rise of international corporations, civil rights and popular culture. Offering a new way of examining the United States, this book reveals how concepts that originated in American's definition of itself as a nation - concepts such as capitalism, republicanism and race - have had supranational impact across the world.-- From publisher description

This article explores the potential human rights impacts of the 'extreme energy' process, specifically focussing on the production of shale gas, coal-bed methane (CBM) and 'tight oil', known colloquially as 'fracking'. The article locates the discussion within a broader context of resource depletion, the 'limits to growth' and the process of extreme energy itself. Utilising recent secondary data from the United States and Australia, combined with the preliminary findings of our ethnographic fieldwork in the United Kingdom, the article outlines a prima facie case for investigating 'fracking' development through a human rights lens. Indeed, based on considerable emerging evidence we argue that 'fracking' development poses a significant risk to a range of key human rights and should thus form the subject of a multitude of comprehensive, interdisciplinary human rights impact assessments (HRIAs) as a matter of urgency. Finally, given the close relationships between government and extractive industries, we argue that these impact assessments must do more than bolster corporate social responsibility (CSR) statements and should be truly independent of either government or industry influence.

Afestschrift is a collection of essays written to honour the contributions of a colleague during his or her career. These essays are not about the colleague, but about the science. A theme is often chosen to align with the interests of the honoree. In June 2017, several colleagues of Dr. Roger Keith will gather in Saskatoon, Sask., to discuss topics regarding the past and future of surgery and its subspecialties, particularly surgical education and hepatopancreatobiliary surgery. The Canadian Journal of Surgery is pleased to collaborate in the production of this festschrift for its former editor, Dr. Keith. Roger Keith was born in Calgary in August 1940. After completing his medical doctorate at the University of Alberta and general surgery residency at the University of Toronto, Dr. Keith went to Toulouse (Professor Jean Escat), London (Sir Rodney Smith), Los Angeles (Dr. William Longmire) and Seattle (Dr. Thomas T. White) to gain the best training in liver and pancreatic surgery (known today as HPB surgery). Hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, became Dr. Keith's specialty, and he led its development in Canada over the next 40 years. In 1990 he moved back west and became the professor and head of surgery at the University of Saskatchewan. He contributed to the rapid development of surgical education through leadership roles, many of which continue today, at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the American College of Surgeons, the Canadian Association of General Surgeons, the American Surgical Association and the James IV Association of Surgeons. Dr. Keith was editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Surgery from 1992 to 1998.1 Vivian McAlister, MB Accepted Dec. 21, 2016 Correspondence to: V. McAlister Department of Surgery Western University London ON N6A 5A5 vmcalist@uwo.ca DOI:10.1503/cjs.016816 The festschrift in honour of Dr. Roger Keith, past editor of the Canadian Journal of Surgery, includes essays (available at canjsurg.ca), written from a personal perspective, on the development of specialty surgery in Canada (Richard Nason, Michael Marcaccio, Michael Kelly and Lissa Peeling), evolution of the certification examination (Ward Davies), building of a megahospital (Gerald Fried) and on the changes in surgical education (Grant Miller, Anees Chagpar, Christopher DeGara, E. Christopher Ellison, Richard Prinz and William Pollett), as well as personal reflections (Andrew Warshaw, Stewart Hamilton). Summary Dr. Roger Keith, editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Surgery from 1992 to 1998. COMMENTARY Can J Surg, Vol. 60, No. 1, February 2017 7 This festschrift is opened by a description of challenges facing medical schools in the 21st century (Dr. Grant Miller, University of Saskatchewan) and continues with essays on the development surgery in Canada: neurosurgery in Saskatchewan (Drs. Michael Kelly and Lissa Peeling, University of Saskatchewan); HPB surgery, including transplantation (Dr. William Wall, University of Western Ontario); head and neck surgery (Dr. Richard Nason, University of Manitoba) and endoscopy (Dr. Michael Marcaccio, McMaster University) as well as a personal account of participation in Canada's military hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan, as a civilian surgeon (Dr. Stewart Hamilton, University of Alberta). Essays on surgical education include the topics of undergraduate education (Dr. Christopher DeGara, University of Alberta), postgraduate education (Dr. E. Christopher Ellison, Ohio State University; Dr. Anees Chagpar, Yale University School of Medicine), academic surgery (Dr. Richard Prinz, University of Chicago) and continuing education (Dr. William Pollett, Memorial University of Newfoundland). Chief examiner Dr. Ward Davies (University of Western Ontario) reflects on the evolution of the certification examinations of the Royal College. Dr. Gerald Fried (McGill University) describes the development of Canada's latest megahospital in Montreal. These essays are written from a personal perspective by surgical colleagues of Dr. Keith who also have a lifetime of contributions to the science. As Dr. Andrew Warshaw (Harvard Medical School) remarked referring to his idol of outcome research in surgery, Dr. Ernest Codman (1869–1940), that Dr. Keith's career would have met with praise and approval from Dr. Codman, a sentiment echoed in the essays of this festschrift.
