The book (and separately purchased CD-ROM) promises to dispel many myths about this minority group as well as to show the Doukhobors' growth from Russia 350 years ago. Its main focus will be on the 20th century of Doukhobors in Canada, Russia, and United States of America, with a special tribute to its pioneers, who like those receiving the Order of Canada Awards, have made a valued contribution to both the local and wider communities. One will find that tenacious idealism
and hard
work unites them all like a magic colourful thread of creative and
caring humanity. Lev N. Tolstoy, the Russian literary giant who helped
them, is highlighted. The Time Line gives the visitor a
quick look at where the Doukhobors fit into the world scene. A
concluding chapter summarizes their wisdom of the ages. This multimedia
ensemble helps to preserve the universally recognized enduring
human values of pioneers such as hard work, creativity, innovation,
cooperation, community, hospitality, nonviolence, mutual respect for
cultural diversity, and dedication to excellence. In effect, the book
is
an important resource for you as it's aptly dubbed subtitle suggests, ...Strategies
for Living.
The Mac/Windows hybrid CD-ROM is adorned with new one-of-a-kind features to this sort of development. The CD-ROM contains every page of the book itself, with expandable images and also includes (though not depicted) a Video Library - sample music and choirs of this colourful culture, a TimeLine, and Audio Library. |
