From Publisher "The book promises to dispel many myths about this minority group as well as to show the Doukhobors' growth from Russia 350 years ago. Its main focus will be on the 20th century of Doukhobors in Canada, Russia, and United States of America, with a special tribute to its pioneers, who like those receiving the Order of Canada Awards, have made a valued contribution to both the local and wider communities.
One will find that tenacious idealism and hard work unites them all like a magic colourful thread of creative and caring humanity. Lev N. Tolstoy, the Russian literary giant who helped them, is highlighted. The Time Line gives the visitor a quick look at where the Doukhobors fit into the world scene. A concluding chapter summarizes their wisdom of the ages. This multimedia ensemble helps to preserve the universally recognized enduring human values of pioneers such as hard work, creativity, innovation, cooperation, community, hospitality, nonviolence, mutual respect for cultural diversity, and dedication to excellence. In effect, the book is an important resource for you as it's aptly dubbed subtitle suggests, ...Strategies for Living.
The new book by Koozma J. Tarasoff features over 700 of the best old and contemporary photos, sketches and maps pertaining to the Doukhobors of the century."
