Welcome to the summer edition of the AU Press newsletter!
Media
A review of Living on the Land was published in the Catalyst. Michelle Nieviadomy writes that “Living on the Land is a beautiful and complex collection of perspective, story, knowledge, and wisdom.”
We took our Instagram followers on a book tour of Edmonton this summer! Points of interest included Commonwealth Stadium, the Legislature, the Walterdale Theatre, West Edmonton Mall, and the Gibson Block. We still have three more stops to go!
New releases
An Ethnohistorian in Rupert’s Land was released in August. More than an anthology, this book illustrates Brown’s exceptional skill in the close study of texts—including oral documents, images, artifacts, and other cultural expressions—and elucidates the scholarly evolution of one of the leading ethnohistorians in Canada and the United States. Brown will be honoured at the annual Ethnohistory conference in October. Stay tuned for details!
