The Failure of Calendar Reform (1992-1931): Religious Minorities, Businessmen, Scientists, and Bureaucrats
The standardization of measurements of length, mass, temperature, etc is a central part of the process of modernization and rationalization described by Weber. However, attempts by businessmen, scientists and bureaucrats to reform the calendar, as a rationalizing measure and to improve economic efficiency, have been thwarted by religious minorities. Curiously, the religious opposition is rooted in material interests, in contrast to the ideal inte…
Vacation homes as social indicators: Observations from Canadian census data
Analysis of answers to a question on ownership of vacation homes asked during Census Canada 1971 confirms findings from earlier analyses that were based on data drawn from drastically different sources and may be summarized thus: although social and economic status is a powerful determinant in ownership of vacation homes everywhere, in Canada the best single predictor is location.

A Geographer Looks at Herman Kahn
Herman Kahn has written a famous book,1 a book that may turn out to be as influential as he intended; and he intended nothing less than it influence the course of human history. Kahn has been reviled as a monster, but events during the last half of 1961 suggest that his advice is being followed. In Scientific American it is argued that he cannot exist, that he is too horrible to be real; in Time-Life he is quoted as an oracle
Wasaga Beach: The Divorce From the Geographic Environment
Summer Cottagers in Ontario
HE summer cottage has been overlooked as a subject of serious study, in Canada as almost everywhere else. There are no statistics on it, and therefore an accurate appraisal of its importance in the geography and the social and economic life of Canada is not yet possible.
