Even though the Portuguese are relatively new to Canada, they have made major contributions to the cultural mosaic of the country. Containing many new essays, this second edition of The Portuguese in Canada updates the work that filled a gap in the scholarly literature of multiculturalism in Canada.The contributors come from a variety of disciplines - anthropology, geography, history, literature, linguistics, sociology, and urban planning - and are from Portugal, Canada and the United States. Essays examine the history of the Portuguese diaspora, the Portuguese presence in Newfoundland and its fisheries, language and identity, urban experiences (especially in Montreal and Toronto), and history and literature. This second edition of The Portuguese in Canada conveys the multi-faceted contributions the Portuguese have made to Canada and considers possible future growth and development of Portuguese-Canadian culture and heritage.

Since the 1960s, new and more diverse waves of immigrants have changed the demographic composition and the landscapes of North American cities and their suburbs. The Housing and Economic Experiences of Immigrants in U.S. and Canadian Cities is a collection of essays examining how recent immigrants have fared in getting access to jobs and housing in urban centres across the continent.Using a variety of methodologies, contributors from both countries present original research on a range of issues connected to housing and economic experiences. They offer both a broad overview and a series of detailed case studies that highlight the experiences of particular communities. This volume demonstrates that, while the United States and Canada have much in common when it comes to urban development, there are important structural and historical differences between the immigrant experiences in these two countries.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, , language: English, abstract: Throughout history, the use of energy has been central to the functioning and development of human societies and one of the great challenges that humanity will face, in this twenty-first century, is to give everyone on the planet access to safe, clean and sustainable energy supplies (Boyle, et al., 2003). When providing energy-related services to society, significant environmental and social impact can be produced, especially when fossil or nuclear fuels are used, considering their extraction processes, risks and environment effects, namely those related with CO2 emissions that contributes to present climatic changes. As finite resources, fossil fuel reserves cannot accommodate all the energy demand increase. Proved reserves of oil and gas are sufficient for some few decades, while coal reserves can continue to be explored by 1-2 centuries, more, taking into account the relation between actually proved reserves and the actual production rate (Boyle, et al., 2003). New reserves are being found but requiring new technologic advances in the process and more energy spending. Impacts of extracting energy from fossil or nuclear fuels are greater than they need be because of the low efficiency of our current systems for delivering energy, converting it into forms appropriate for specific tasks, and utilizing it in our homes, machinery, appliances and vehicles (Boyle, et al., 2003). Improving the efficiency of these systems is one of the ways to reduce negative impacts satisfying the same needs of final energy reducing primary energy use. Also, replacing fossil fuel by renewable energy sources, even without reduction of final energy demand, will reduce negative impacts. According with IEA (OECD/IEA, 2010), the total energy demand is expected to increase 47% between 2008 and 2035, maintaining actual policies. If new policies are adopted, the total energy demand is expected increase less (36% in the new policies Scenario and 22% in a more ambitious scenario, which requires the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to be limited to around 450 parts per million of CO2 equivalent).
