Edward Brown

Since Eric Arthur's 1964 publication of Toronto, No Mean City, no book has provided such deep insight into a community as Flemingdon Park, No Mean Neighbourhood. From prehistory to the arrival of Indigenous peoples, European settlers, the simple ribbon-cutting ceremony in 1961 marking the neighbourhood's official opening, and up to the present day, Edward Brown explores various topics, including history, architecture, politics, and most importantly, the people who continue to shape this unique and diverse community. Tireless research, combined with masterful storytelling, vividly brings the history of a Toronto neighbourhood to life in Flemingdon Park, No Mean Neighbourhood.

Fifteen murderers buried in the yard of the jail where they were hanged. A detective haunted by their crimes. The facts are true. Their stories might be. The miscreants and murderers who live in the underworld of 19th century Toronto said that George Porter has a heart as black as a sweep's face. Even his colleagues at the Toronto Detective Force considered him a hard case. He hadn't started out that way. He had been an eighteen-year-old constable, full of idealism until he brushed the dirt from the face of a newborn babe, buried alive. How does that not change a man? Over the years, he's recorded the faces of the guilty in pen and ink, sketching them as compulsively as he investigated their crimes. After the murderers were hanged, their skulls were split open with a bone saw and their brains autopsied, then their bodies were unceremoniously discarded. In September 2007, a backhoe uncovered a mass grave while excavating what had been the exercise yard of the old Toronto Don Jail. A total of fifteen bodies were discovered, the remains of inmates hanged on the prison's gallows between 1872 and 1930. Mysteries to be solved, lives to be imagined, crimes to be dissected.

Rice Solutions is a very accessible guide for Europeans and North Americans coming to the Gulf Region for work. The author, Edward Brown, has had many years experience working in and with Gulf Arab businesses, and currently runs a family-owned Arab business there. His insights, experiences and guide to best practice, written in his convivial and easy-to-digest style, is hugely informative about both Arab history and culture as well as the regional business etiquette. Many have tried and failed to successfully do business in the Gulf Region, but with Brown's guidance you can prepare yourself and proceed with more confidence towards a sustainably profitable time there. With testimonials from ambassadors and generals and academics, both European and Arabic, this book will repay the few hours it takes to read over a lifetime.

During the time of the Second Opium War between Britain and China (1856–60), sailor Edward Brown (about whom little is known) was discharged from a trading vessel in Hong Kong. He was then offered the opportunity to captain a Chinese-crewed ship bound for Wai-how on the west coast, though he was warned that it was a risky enterprise because of the ongoing hostilities. Soon his ship was chased by Chinese pirates and Brown was taken captive for many months in Cochin-China (southern Vietnam). Published in 1861, this engaging account of his captivity, attempts at escape, and eventual return to his livelihood as a mate on a trading ship is told in a lively style, and gives a first-hand account of both a turbulent time in one of the world's most dangerous seas, and the different people and customs he encountered in the course of his enforced time on land.
