Kimberly A. Williams wants the annual Calgary Stampede to change its ways. An intrepid feminist scholar with a wry sense of humour, Williams deftly weaves theory, history, pop culture and politics to challenge readers to make sense of how gender and race matter at Canada’s oldest and largest western heritage festival. Stampede examines the settler colonial roots of the Calgary Stampede and uses its centennial celebration in 2012 to explore how the event continues to influence life on the streets and in the bars and boardrooms of Canada’s fourth-largest city. Using a variety of cultural materials—photography, print advertisements, news coverage, poetry and social media—Williams asks who gets to be part of the “we” in the Stampede’s slogan “We’re Greatest Together,” and who doesn’t.

Squirrels have made numerous appearances in mass media over the years, from Beatrix Potter's Nutkin and Timmy Tiptoes, to Rocky the flying squirrel of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and to Conker and Squirrel Girl of video game fame. This book examines how squirrel legends from centuries ago have found new life through contemporary popular culture, with a focus on the various portrayals of these wily creatures in books, newspapers, television, movies, public relations, advertising and video games.

This book is a lot like many other books on the topic of what constitutes a man. However, that is not the main focus of the book. More importantly, it is not what constitutes a man but who constitutes a man. All the self-help books on the subject, psychiatrists and their talk shows, and best friends' sage advice at closing time are all the same-insufficient at best, incorrect at worst. This book looks to the most authoritative source on who constitutes a man-the Bible. The world uses a sliding scale to define manhood, defining it in whatever terms is most comfortable at the time. The Bible's definition of a man has not, and will not, ever change because truth is not a piece of silly putty we get to mold into our view of what is no. 1 Dad. This book takes specific passages from the Bible and relates them in a way we, as Christian men, and those that desire to be Christian men, can understand and, most importantly, put into action so that the world may come to understand and believe what the word says. After all, real men are doers, not just hearers.
