The season’s titles include a number from ����91���︣�����߹ۿ�’s professors:

Revitalizing Rural Economies: A Guide for Practitioners, by Yolande E. Chan, Jeff A. Dixon and Christine R. Dukelow, offers practical tools for developers, business people and community leaders hoping to adapt the traditional economic bases of rural communities. Grounded in case studies, the book explores topics such as community economic development, vibrant downtowns and creative businesses.

Dr. Chan is Associate Vice-Principal (Research) and a professor of management information systems at ����91���︣�����߹ۿ�’s School of Business. Mr. Dixon is associate director of the Monieson Centre at QSB. Ms. Dukelow is a community development professional from Beaverton, Ont.

Canadian Public Sector Financial Management, by Andrew Graham, outlines all aspects of public sector financial management. Addressing such issues as how to obtain funding and what constitutes effective budget management, the book remains focused on the practitioner and manager in the public sector.

Mr. Graham is an adjunct professor at ����91���︣�����߹ۿ�’s School of Policy Studies. He also served as an assistant deputy minister in the federal government for more than 14 years.

Negotiations in a Vacant Lot: Studying the Visual in Canada, by Lynda Jessup, Erin Morton and Kirsty Robertson, investigates the interplay between personal and national identity in Canadian art.
