My forthcoming book “Magna Carta and Its Gifts to Canada” will be published in 2015 by Dundurn Press to complement the Magna Carta Canada 2015 touring exhibition. The year 2015 marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, the Great Charter imposed on King John by his barons in the thirteenth century to ensure he upheld traditional customs of the nobility. Though it began as a safeguard of the aristocracy, over the past 800 years, the Magna Carta has become a cornerstone of democratic ideals for all.

Magna Carta and Its Gifts to Canada: Democracy, Law, and Human Rights is now available for pre-order at amazon.ca
I like the cover design for the book: the combination of the Canadian flag and barons is a rare combination. I like the “About the Author” section on the Amazon listing too.
