Music of Canada (Revised)Written by Timothy McGee, professor of music at the University of Toronto, the narrative ranges across the many genres of music that have flourished in Canada: art music, folk and popular music, church music, and jazz.

Written by Timothy McGee, professor of music at the University of Toronto, the narrative ranges across the many genres of music that have flourished in Canada: art music, folk and popular music, church music, and jazz. Since the book is non-technical in its approach so that it may be easily understood by those not specifically trained in music, the author has thoughtfully provided separate analytical sections for the more advanced reader.

Abounding in music examples and replete with illustrations which vividly reflect each era of Canadian history, the volume also includes an anthology of thirteen complete works (or movements) by prominent Canadian composers, past and present. Each chapter begins with a brief summary of the social and political background of the period under discussion, so that its music may be understood within the context of Canadian history. The double heritage--French and English--which has both enriched and troubled Canadian cultural life, is traced from its origins to the present day. A final chapter departs from this chronological format to focus on the music of the Indian and Inuit people and comment on its sociocultural significance. Finally, an appendix including the sources of all the music discussed, a bibliography, discography, and filmography rounds out this ground-breaking volume.

Not worth it, not indestructible
Color: Auburn, Color: Auburn
I'm giving no stars, thought this toy would last longer than 10 mins with my dog. Guess not, it says indestructible in the details but as you can tell that's a total lie. Not worth the money at all.

Not for extremely aggressive chewers
Color: Auburn
I am sure this product is excellent for a small.puppy. I have a 8month huge German Shepard husky mix he had the arms and legs in shreds in less then 15 min and working on the body. If you have a large to extra large aggressive chewer this toy won't work for your dog. Other dogs yes 5 stars

Immediate yes, worth it!

My dog LOVES this toy. There’s ropes, different noises, tough canvas, this toy has it all! So so durable which is rare for dog toys. Super cute neutral colored toy for esthetics. Great size for tug of war or for my dog toys whip around, her personal favorite!

Pups love this toy!
Color: Auburn
This is a great toy. I have two pups under the age of 2, a goldador (half lab/golden) and a full golden. Both are very aggressive when they play and love to chew. This is not a chew toy so if left as a chew, it will be chewed and destroyed. But my two play tug together with this toy and love playing tug with this toy. I give this a 4 star rating because it has been destroyed, basically because I left it down to long and one of them starting to chew it. I am planning to purchase another and another and another. :)
