The result is a better understanding of ties among Alberta politicians\"-Quoted from the introduction. This is the first study of political networks in Alberta during the period of 1905-1992 using the methodology of network theory. A statistical analysis was performed using a compilation of a wide range of published historical data. Important evidence of family linkages, ethnicity, religious affiliations, professional and occupational networks, and business linkages was discovered. A model of political life is indicated and used to show the effect of these elites. Suggestions are made to get better accountability and a broader representation of the general populace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Mardon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897472730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897472736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Golden Meteorite Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Austin Mardon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241534304511,"sku":"9781897472736","price":47.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a06f821-6065-4498-a764-8cc083134e9f.jpg?v=1772654838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-networks-in-alberta-austin-mardon-9781897472736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
