- Planet Canada : how our expats are shaping the future / by Stackhouse, John,1962-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.One of the leading thinkers on Canada's place in the world contends that our country's greatest latent resource is the three million Canadians who don't live here. Educators, entrepreneurs, humanitarians: an entire province's worth of Canadian citizens live outside Canada. Some will return, others won't. But what they all have is the ability, and often the desire, to export Canadian values to a world sorely in need of them. And to act as ambassadors for Canada in industries and societies where diplomatic efforts find little traction. Surely a country with as diverse human resources as Canada ought to plug itself into every corner of the globe. We don't, and sometimes not even when citizens of a country that increasingly finds itself everywhere in the world are asking how they can help. Failing to put this desire to work, contends bestselling author and longtime foreign correspondent John Stackhouse, is a grave error for a small country whose voice is getting lost behind developing nations of rapidly increasing influence. The soft power we once boasted is getting softer, but we have an unparalleled resource, if we choose to use it. To ensure Canada's place in the world, argues Planet Canada, we need to use the world within Canada.- Subjects: Canadians; Cultural diplomacy;

The ancient town of Avignon boasts magnificent medieval buildings and is one of the few French cities to have preserved its majestic ramparts. The Sacri Monti, (Sacred Mountains) of Piedmont and Lombardy are a series of nine groups of chapels and other architectural features created in northern Italy during the seventeenth and late sixteenth century. They are dedicated to various aspects of the Christian faith and are considered of great beauty by virtue of the skill with which they have been integrated into the surrounding natural landscape of hills, forests and lakes.E.Blu-ray disc (requires Blu-ray player for playback) ; anamorphic widescreen format (1.85:1 aspect ratio); Dolby digital.- Subjects: Travelogues (Motion pictures);
