      By Wagg, Susan W
       2013., McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: SC 720.92 T238w    Availability:2 of 2     At Your Library Summary Note: By the year 1900, architect Andrew Taylor had designed Bank of Montreal branches across the continent and much of McGill University, helped found the McGill School of Architecture, and played a critical role in creating the first professional organization for Quebec architects. In The Architecture of Andrew Thomas Taylor, Susan Wagg presents a groundbreaking study of the life and work of a major figure in nineteenth-century Canadian architecture.Born in Edinburgh and trained in Scotland and England, Taylor spent two decades in Canada between 1883 and 1904, designing some of Montreal's most iconic landmarks. Wagg places his career amidst the wealth of opportunities provided by Canada's high society and captains of industry. Taylor's Canadian relatives, Montreal's powerful Redpath family, brought him into contact with the small group of financiers and entrepreneurs who controlled Canada's destiny. With the support of such influential patrons as Sir William Macdonald and the Bank of Montreal, Taylor successfully confronted dramatic changes in building technology as iron and steel were increasingly used and buildings grew ever taller. He innovatively adapted English and American styles to the Canadian environment, designing structures distinctively suited to their place in history.Positioning Taylor's extensive designs within the context of his time, The Architecture of Andrew Thomas Taylor firmly establishes his work as a cornerstone of Canadian architecture.

      By Gold, Phil
       2023., McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: NEW QWF Bio G618g    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Footprints series (Montréal, Quebec)   Volume: 15.Summary Note: Growing up on St. Lawrence Boulevard, Phil Gold never aspired to be a doctor. But working as an encyclopedia salesman, a bottle washer at Molson, and a fur-coat schlepper in textile factories helped him realize and embrace his parents' desire for him to follow that path. Looking back at his short wander from the Main to nearby McGill University and the Montreal General Hospital, Gold coins a new word, fortunome, to evoke his sense of a lucky life: "Our genome comes from our parents; our environment or epigenome shapes the expression of who we are; but without a good fortunome, life's odds turn against us." A born storyteller, Gold recounts the sights and sounds of a bygone era--horse-drawn milk carts, Yiddish neighbourhoods full of Holocaust survivors, furniture chopped up to keep the home fires burning, sacks of grain lugged off ships in the harbour, antisemitism and ethnic street-fighting, the padlocked doors of the Red Scare, his father's first car. Gold tells the story of dating and marrying the love of his life, Evelyn, studying under the brilliant Sir Arnold Burgen, and his discovery of CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) in a clear, fast-moving narrative that grips and fascinates. Gold's Rounds also includes unforgettable stories from six decades of treating patients at the General, scenes from the founding of the famous Goodman Cancer Institute, and reflections on the physician's role and the meaning of a good death. By turns funny, wise, and heartrending, Gold's memoir of a life well lived will be cherished by both medical professionals and general readers.
