Walter Stewart's book "Strike" provides a detailed history of this labour phenomena and its effect on the Canadian economy. Canada's record of some 9,000,000 lost man-hours per year suggests that we should closely study this problem and its causes. This book outlines the history of the situation but offers few solutions. "A Population of One" by Constance Beresford -Howe, is the second in a series of three novels by this author. Set in Montreal, the book relates the experiences of the lonely Wilhelmina Doyle, a university professor, in search for self -acceptance.
