The Toronto New Wave cinema that emerged in Canada in the 1980s spawned the careers of David Cronenberg, Don McKellar, Vincenzo Natali, Patricia Rozema, Sarah Polley, and many other unsung Canadian auteurs who produced films that betray anarchistic philosophies and apocalyptic propensities. This book recognizes the anarchist-apocalyptic vergence that the movies stage and interrogate and develops a new analytical paradigm that is consonant with the Canadian film production exigencies in which the Toronto New Wave was immersed. Chapters include discussion of historical contexts and auteur interviews in concert with sophisticated film analyses to explore David Cronenberg's earliest films and the anarchist-apocalypse effect they engendered, Don McKellar's cohort of collaborators and the anarchist idea of "kissing this world goodbye," the anarchist-apocalyptic critique of cybernetic technology, Vincenzo Natali's anarchist-apocalyptic critique of industrial technologyand class-based incarceration, films and auteurs dedicated to anarchist-queering and anarchist-gendering the apocalypse, zombies and the end of time in the post-millennium neo-TNW films, and beyond. The text's eloquent dance with film studies' admixture of theory, history, and analyses is a ballet of insight and essential reading for anyone interested in the study of film and the exciting anarchist-apocalyptic contributions made to it by the Toronto New Wave and some of its progeny. The idea of a pending social apocalypse is a prescient issue in contemporary cinema theory and this study offers an original approach to issues keyed to anarchist values and apocalyptic revelation in an historically important but under-represented Canadian filmmaking group.

An imagining of what could have occurred had M. R. James, England's foremost writer of tales of the supernatural, not pursued a life in academia but instead followed his interest in antiquarianism.

People buy dogs for many reasons. Sometimes they want a companion or perhaps they want some security. Either way, dogs make great pets and often become thought of as family members. If you have an unruly dog, then they are thought of as obnoxious but lovable family members. If anything, dogs can sometimes be a tad bit too enthusiastic and that is when obedience training comes in handy. Obedience training will help give your dog the discipline that they need to wreck less havoc in your household and will help eliminate a lot of the stress that stems from having an untrained dog. Dog training and obedience classes can be costly but they are also not necessary. It is possible to train your dog yourself, at home to follow some basic commands, such as sit, come, down, stay, heel, leave it and go to your spot. If you would like to train your dog without spending extra money for fancy classes, this is the book for you.
