175 pages. In addition to author's signature, this book bears the printed name "Jan Pullinger" on the front flyleaf. Ms. Pullinger and her husband, Dale Lovick, were MLAs and prominent Cabinet Ministers during the NDPs two terms of power in British Columbia in the 1990s. The underlining and marginalia are presumbably those of Ms. Pullinger. Thus, this volume may shed a unique glimpse into the social and political philosophy which took the NDP to power in 1991 and back to two elected members in the 2001 provincial election. Spine leans to right. Several pages loose. Book shows why "Christians are obliged to transform their world." A unique and indispensable contribution to the debate that exposes the values at work in Canadian society. Book
