The age of persuasion Aired on January 8th/13th, 2011
In the world of marketing, advertisers can create their image and messages with virtual freedom. But that’s not the case when it comes to “green” products – because the scrutiny is too intense. This week, Terry O’Reilly looks at the ever-changing world of Green Marketing. He’ll look back at how the green movement started, how it’s evolved, how marketers navigate the shoals of green marketing today – and what it all means to everyday consumers. One thing for sure… it’s not easy being green.

In the virtual exhibition Artists’ Books: Bound in Art, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) presents for the first time a unique collection of artists’ books dating from the early 20th century to today. The exhibition brings together the best examples from this collection of rare books that are as exceptional and imaginative as their creators. Some are stunning book objects; other pieces, while more traditionally crafted, are true works of art, as unique for the watercolours, drawings, prints and photographs that enhance them as for their bindings.
