In the post-NAFTA era, Canada and Mexico face dramatic and irreversible changes from the Bush revolution in foreign public policy, the rising economic power of China and India, new concerns about border security and human rights, and the trends of economic integration. The essays in Big Picture Realities: Canada and Mexico at the Crossroads address the sea change in the political economic order of North America and chronicle the attempts of Canada and Mexico, two very different societies, to come to terms with the accumulated and often contradictory effects of micro and macro changes.Contributors are Canadian and Mexican scholars and leading authorities in security, immigration, human rights, foreign policy, Canada-Mexico relations, and market integration. This book is particularly valuable for public policy experts and scholars and students in international relations.

The legendary designer talks about his bumpy road to fame, trendsetting designs and business empire.
His name adorns everything from underwear to perfume. His stylish designs and business acumen built a fashion empire.
When Brooke Shields went on national TV and cooed "nothing comes between me and my Calvins," a young designer from New York became a fashion icon. Calvin Klein went from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology to stardom in a few short years. BIOGRAPHY® interviewed Calvin, his wife, daughter and associates like Vogue's Anna Wintour and Harper Bazaar's Liz Tiberis to profile America's most famous fashion designer. Follow Klein from his 7th Avenue store opened when he was 26 to the top of an international empire. Hear how a buyer for Bonwit Teller "discovered" him and his designs became an instant hit in the fashionable store. But his first marriage disintegrated under the pressure of his fame, and his daughter, Marci, was kidnapped. Here, Calvin tells how he rescued her; an event which added more gleam to his already sterling reputation.
From shopping trips with his mother when he was a little boy to pushing the boundaries of fashion with daring new products, CALVIN KLEIN: A STYLISH OBSESSION is a fascinating look at a true trendsetter.
