    Ottawology

    Tonya K. Davidson

    Offering a template for how to scrutinize the interactions between the weight of history and the motion of everyday life in a city, Davidson takes readers on a tour through Canada’s capital city, which is populated not only by government workers and power brokers, but also by students, seniors, eels, turtles, and skaters, as she tells stories of nightlife, policing, play, libraries, rivers, and malls to show how social structures, sustainability, and social life intersect.

    (Fernwood Publishing, $29.00 Paperback, 224 pages, ISBN: 978-17-73637-60-0)
