Book Description
In an age of unprecedented human impact on the planet, certain countries stand out for their privileged positions and the complexity of their relationships with nature. Today, Canada's environmental record is among the poorest when compared to other wealthy nations, a fact that suggests ambivalence, and the actions of competing interests, which are most often exposed in moments of disorder and disregard for the unexpected consequences of managing the country's seemingly endless bounty. 00The 15 case studies presented here reframe Canada since 1945, and these surprising events are grounded in conversations about cultural myths and the legal environment, changing ideas of natural resources and environmental risk, indigenous engagement with environmentalism and development, and the impacts of the environmentalist movement. 00Co-published by the Canadian Centre for Architecture, ISBN 978-1-927071-44-1 (English edition) and ISBN 978-1-927071-45-8 (French edition).

Book Description
An ordinary group assignment takes a turn as the decision to turn the project into a criminal investigation is made. Is the criminal who has been in jail for the past 10 years guilty? Was he framed? Is he a good liar? Was he rightfully accused? There are so many questions and not enough answers, at least not yet. As the group digs deeper into the truths of the past, they risk uncovering long-buried secrets that were meant to remain hidden. Each revelation propels them further into a complex and dangerous world. With every discovery, the bonds of friendship and trust among the group are tested, and unexpected romances surface. As the stakes continue to rise, these five students—Ivy Alcazar, James Adler, Daniel Kwon, Tristan Atwood and Rose Carter—must grapple with the consequences of their search for the truth. They soon come to realise that the price of uncovering the past can be far higher than they ever imagined.

Good People
Author: Robert Lopez
Publisher: Bellevue Literary Press
ISBN: 1942658036
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
“Lopez has the ability to give the reader whiplash with his unconventional and bewitching stories.” —Los Angeles Times “Robert Lopez is the master of deadpan dread, of the elliptical koan, of the sudden turn of language that reveals life to be so wonderfully absurd. Always with Lopez, the voice is all his—enchanting, surprising, at times devastating.” —JESS WALTER, author of Beautiful Ruins “Robert Lopez’s strange, incantatory, visionary stories reveal the mysteries behind the ordinary world. You lift your head from this book and it’s as if a third eye has been opened.” —DAN CHAON, author of Await Your Reply and Stay Awake “Nothing is funnier than unhappiness,” claims Samuel Beckett. To this, we add: nothing is funnier than unhappiness with a heavy dose of amorality, as we learn from Robert Lopez’s unforgettable Good People. In these twenty stories, a motley cast of obsessive, self-deluded outsiders narrate their darker moments, which include kidnapping, voyeurism, and psychic masochism. As their struggles give way to the black humor of life’s unreason, the bleak merges with the oddly poetic, in a style as lean and resolute as Carver or Hemingway. Treading the fine line between confession and self-justification, the absurd violence of threatened masculinity, and the perverse joy of neurosis, Lopez’s stories reveal the compulsive suffering at the precarious core of our universal humanity. Robert Lopez is the author of two novels, Part of the World and Kamby Bolongo Mean River, and the story collection Asunder. He lives in Brooklyn.

Book Description
Sheluna is strong and wise beyond her twenty years, and she is ready to assume her role as the next high priestess of Holy Ground. She has all the qualities of a great leader-she is open-minded, spirited, and courageous. She is loved and respected by all the people and creatures surrounding her. Now her destiny rests on the other side of one crucial and dangerous test. Set in Holy Ground, a real city that existed over nine thousand years ago and lasted for over fifteen centuries in central Turkey, Sheluna's story is imaginative historical fiction based on fascinating fact gleaned from extensive research into the excavations of Çatalhöyük, the real city that inspired the story of Holy Ground. Home to an advanced egalitarian society, Çatalhöyük's legacy is rich with thought-provoking themes of equality, Earth worship, and the importance of ritual and symbology. Modern humans can learn much from our ancestors of prehistory (a big part of which is "her story"). The people of Holy Ground called it Paradise-the paradise before the fall.
