    Kurzfassung: The primary purpose of this book is to explore the nature of two forms of sexual behaviour which represent the majority of sexual offences coming to the attention of the courts. Special emphasis is given to the social significance of the deviant behaviour. The material presented has emerged primarily from empirical study and research on cases referred to the Forensic Clinic of the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital, established by the Government of Ontario in affiliation with the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Toronto. The Clinic was established specifically to assist the courts in the assessment and treatment of offenders. The choice of exhibitionism and pedophilia for consideration was made on purely quantitative grounds, and quantitative considerations remained a leading factor throughout the study. The bizarre and exotic phenomena of sexual behaviour too frequently overshadow the far greater amount of human misery which can be observed daily in our lower courts. All too often the problems of the sexual offender are seen in terms of isolated but highly publicized cases of atrocities with the result that the minor sex offender (who is by far in the majority) tends to be seen as a potential fiend and maniac. In the absence of a clear picture of the natural history of the various sexual deviations and resulting offences, predictions of the subsequent behaviour of an offender are at best tenuous. In reviewing the literature on pedophilia and exhibitionism, the authors found no systemic account of pedophilia, and only one book specifically devoted to exhibitionism. It therefore became necessary to expand their own researches into a handbook on the sexual offences arising out of the two deviations. Comparative data from the literature has been incorporated. The organization of this material posed many problems because of the diversity of definitions, samples, and classifications used in various studies, and this diversity reflects the great need for investigation of the subject if diagnosis, sentencing, and treatment are to be soundly based. In his Foreword, Professor Kenneth G. Gray points to the usefulness of this study in many areas: "Psychiatrists will find a great deal of information about selection of cases for treatment. The prognosis for sex offenders is generally good but it is better from some categories of offenders than others. With rare exceptions, the sex offender is not mentally ill or mentally defective except with regard to his sexual deviation ... Judges and magistrates will find here information that is of value in sentencing a sexual offender. Research has produced data which provide a reasonably accurate prediction about the likelihood of recurrence ... Social workers and educators will be particularly interested in the description of sexual molestation of young children. They will be able to convey such information to parents whose child has been assaulted and will be better able to assess the effects on the child and to deal with them."...

    Kurzfassung: The eighteen articles appearing in this, the fifth, number of Anthropology of the North: Translations from Russian Sources, were mostly published between the years 1957 and 1963. The exceptions are S.I. Rudenko's "The culture of the prehistoric population of Kamchatka," published in 1948, and A.P. Okladnikov's "Paleolithic remains in the Lena river basin," published in 1953. Thirteen of the articles deal with the archaeology and five with the geomorphology of selected areas of northern Asia. Dr. Chester S. Chard of the University of Wisconsin analyzes the contents and meaning of these articles in his Introduction to the book and fruitfully correlates them with other sources which have been made available to the English-reading specialist over the past few years. In the Notes and References attached to each article, editorial reference has sometimes been added about the availability in English translation of a cited article.

    Kurzfassung: Here is a record of one of history's great migrations, the Atlantic Migration to the New World, especially from 1770 to 1890, when eleven million people came from the British Isles to North America. The slow crossing by sailing ship was unpleasant even in the best accommodation, but for the poor conditions were wretched in the extreme. Famine, unemployment, poverty drove many from the Old World, and their desperate circumstances made them vulnerable to exploitation at both ends of the journey. In the New World, the immigrant had to adjust to strange conditions as he ventured into the interior of the continent to enter upon the hardships of pioneering. Mr. Guillet has located records never before consulted, found contemporary descriptions not previously used, and presented excerpts from diaries, narratives, letters, and emigrant guidebooks formerly accessible only in museum and archives collections. The illustrations are all from contemporary sources and provide in themselves an authentic and comprehensive picture of the times.

    Kurzfassung: This thought-provoking volume, which represents a re-shaping of the Plaunt Lectures delivered at Carleton University, 1960, offers impressions of the art of living in Canada by one who has been deeply concerned with the relationships between our two cultures. The purpose of the author is to stimulate reflection on the genesis and the contemporary status of Canada as a bi-cultural nation. His own method in the book is also that of reflection, rather than didactic exposition. He takes up the manifestations of our two cultures in our two literatures, describes his own experience of living personally and professionally with members of both groups, and goes on to analyse what contribution Canadian universities might make to greater understanding of our biculturalism. It is in the university setting that the author sees hope of a new humanism, thanks particularly to the vision of the world offered by the social sciences; it, he feels, will enable us to see both aspects of our country fully and harmoniously and grasp its responsibility as a unified nation to the rest of the world. Canada, says the author, is not a datum but a construct; it is a becoming. It has been and remains the result of constant compromise. Patterns and objectives have to be constantly redefined and improvised, with both parties in our dualism collaborating to create a well-tempered, yet positive national life.
