Canadian History. Aronsen tells the story of the spread of the hippie lifestyle north from San Francisco into Vancouver, and how this rocked the buttoned-down, Protestant, white-bread frontier town that Vancouver had been up til then. A chapter on the impact of the sexual revolution tells of love-ins, free clinics, public nudism, and the Penthouse and other Vancouver fleshpots. Other chapters recount the stories of the drugs and music that were embraced by the new generation of Vancouverites; of peaceful anti-war protesters and the birth of Greenpeace, and the harder edge of the Yippies and their occupations and street theatre; and of Vancouver Free University and the new ideas that forever changed the way Canadian schools work. Aronsen's readable account is illustrated with over 100 photos, drawings, and advertisements drawn from the newspapers--both straight and \u003cem\u003eGeorgia Straight\u003c\/em\u003e--that chronicled the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Aronsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Star Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554200481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAronsen, Lawrence:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Longtime Vancouverite Lawrence Aronsen, an active participant in the scene he describes, is professor of history at the University of Alberta and an authority on the Cold War.
