Stories of children adopted from China due to the rigorous once child policy. Organised by the intrinsic logic of experience, these recollections from families of adoptive Chinese children are moving, timely and powerful.
Rant
Best-selling biographer Evan Maguire ventures out of his comfort zone of writing about ex-athletes, Hollywood stars, and teen sensations and finds himself in the world of the reclusive Solomon Rheela, the greatest Conspiracy Theorist of his generation. While Evan expects stories of little green men, assassination cover-ups, and secret societies that control the world to titillate his readership with, he finds that Solomon has a much different (and much more frightening) agenda. This agenda, mixed with ghosts from the past and a mysterious narrator that appears and disappears at will throughout the work, create a downward spiral for Evan that may or may not be escapable in the end.
Fantastic Spiritualities
In this work Jobling argues that religious sensibility in the Western world is in a process of transformation, but that we see here change, not decline, and that the production and consumption of the fantastic in popular culture offers an illuminating window onto spiritual trends and conditions. She examines four major examples of the fantastic genre: the Harry Potter series (Rowling), His Dark Materials (Pullman), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Whedon) and the Earthsea cycle (Le Guin), demonstrating that the spiritual universes of these four iconic examples of the fantastic are actually marked by profoundly modernistic assumptions, raising the question of just how contemporary spiritualities (of...
One Step at a Time
One Step At A Time is a firsthand account of a young man’s battle with leukemia. In the first half of the book, Brian Fraser describes, with the utmost honesty, what it is like to fight a relentless, punishing disease. He reflects on the horror of his initial diagnosis, the rollercoaster that is cancer treatment, and how his everyday life was flipped upside down. Sadly, Brian passed away midway through the writing process, and was unable to document a handful of major events that took place in the final year of his life. In the second half of the book, Callum Fraser (no relation) takes over in Brian’s absence. Through interviews with over a dozen of the biggest players in Brian’s life, you’ll learn how Brian became the poster child for blood donation in Canada, and how he bravely faced his own mortality. Callum also details Brian’s profound impact at News Talk 580 CFRA, and his passionate love for sports. This book is a testament to Brian’s remarkable legacy.
Why I Run
Entertaining and inspirational, Why I Run is the new book from the founder of iRun magazine, Mark Sutcliffe. Drawing on more than five years of writing about running in newspaper columns, magazine features and blog postings, the 13-time marathon runner chronicles a journey that begins with a guy looking for a bit of exercise and evolves into running as a way of life. At once analytical, self-deprecating, enthusiastic and inspiring, Why I Run provides a fresh and rousing perspective on the rapidly growing sport that has allowed thousands of individuals to overcome challenges and fulfill their dreams, literally one step at a time. In sharing his own experiences and those of other runners who have inspired him, Sutcliffe narrates his love affair with the sport. And in the many stories ranging from stumbling through his first trail run to tumbling at the finish line of a marathon to cheering his training partner to a qualifying time for the famed Boston Marathon, every runner will find both entertainment and motivation.
