EconomicsMarch 1997Rural Employment
An International Perspective
by John J Bryden. Edited by Ray D Bollman.
Development in rural areas is a key research and policy issue in many industrialised countries. Central to this is the subject of rural employment. This book presents an international perspective on rural employment and has been developed from selected papers presented at a conference held in Quebec, Canada, in October 1995 and organized by the Canadian Rural Restructuring Foundation. The book consists of 30 chapters divided into seven parts. Seven chapters are reports of international comparative analyses prepared for the OECD Rural Development Programme. Another group of chapters focuses on retaining and retraining youth to stay in rural areas. Other issues addressed include lifestyle and residential choice, rural enterprises, policies to stimulate employment, the role of agriculture, and alternative niches including tourism and using the information highway. Case study material is drawn from several countries, including the USA, Canada, UK, Sweden and Finland. The book presents a timely review of an important subject that will interest a wide range of academics and policy makers in rural studies, whether from the perspective of economics, geography, sociology or planning.

by Marie-Josée Bettez, Éric Théroux
Heralded as a “must-have tool,” “a culinary masterpiece” and even a “bible,” the first edition of How to Thwart Food Allergies was a resounding success in Quebec, where it quickly became a bestseller.

The authors show that it is possible to prepare lasagna without cheese, mayonnaise without eggs or mustard, mousses and ices with coconut milk and (very moist) cakes without eggs or milk.Much more than a simple recipe book, this work teems with information, tricks of the trade and advice on how to understand food allergies and manage them better. The substitution chart alone is worth a look. Extremely complete, it helps you adapt your own recipes by eliminating problem ingredients. Now you can take real pleasure in food again by focusing on what you are allowed to eat instead of what you are not!
