Cities and Communities that Work
The first part clarifies the meaning of community-based innovation, and explores the larger historical and contemporary forces that are driving the "local turn" in governance and public policy. [...] The literature stresses seven building blocks in successful community-based innovation: (1) the emergence of local champions, (2) the formation of institutional intermediaries, (3) a commitment to equitable participation, (4) a civic culture of creativity, (5) the provision of financial and technical resources, (6) robust accountability mechanisms, and (7) development of indicators to benchmark pr. [...] The second and largest part of the Discussion Paper carries these conceptual matters to a pr...
Sons of Thunder
‘A fool couldn’t ride the Vincent Black Shadow more than once, but a fool can ride a Ducati 900 many times, and it will always be a bloodcurdling kind of fun. That is the Curse of Speed which has plagued me all my life. I am a slave to it. On my tombstone they will carve, IT NEVER GOT FAST ENOUGH FOR ME.’ – Hunter S. Thompson Sons of Thunder, Neil Bradford’s exhilaratingly high-octane collection of motorcycle writing, makes a persuasive case for the unique excitement and emotional experience offered by one of mankind’s greatest inventions. Featuring full-throttle tales by T.E. Lawrence, Roald Dahl, Melissa Holbrook Pierson, Robert Hughes and many others, and ranging from Hunter S. Thompson’s rip-roaring prose to lyrical contributions from Ted Hughes, Thom Gunn and Robert Pirsig, the groundbreaking Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance author, Sons of Thunder is a thrilling tribute to the pleasures and perils of riding this awesome machine.

Crime and Justice
What if we could no longer trust DNA profiling, the silver bullet of our criminal justice system? For years, we’ve relied on it to solve decades-old crimes, convict the guilty, and liberate the innocent from death row. But what happens to that trust when a crime lab scientist is leaned on to manipulate the evidence or, worse still, lose it altogether?

When her son is arrested for the rape and assault of a seventeen-year-old girl, Rainsford’s political career is in jeopardy. Detective Linda Farrell is assigned to investigate. After twelve years working in SPD’s sexual as...
Driven Apart
From the outset of second-wave feminism in Canada, women have advanced analyses of employment inequality that embrace their labour in both the public and domestic spheres. Through campaigns, task forces, and direct engagement with government departments, activists have argued that only when the Canadian state takes account of their roles as care-providers can women's full potential as worker-citizens be realized.
Creative Cities Structured Policy Dialogue Backgrounder - Neil Bradford - Background Paper F|46 Family Network
Moreover, Polèse and Stren stress that the impacts and burdens of economic restructuring are concentrated on certain urban residents (racial minorities, women, the elderly, and immigrants) and in the neighbourhoods most exposed to environmental and health hazards. [...] For solutions, Polèse and Stren underscore the often overlooked role of local "place management" policies that work to "weave the various parts of the city into a cohesive whole, and to increase accessibility (spatial and otherwise) to public services and employment."8 They welcome the emergence in local civil societies of social economy networks experimenting with new initiatives in housing, food. [...] "In this way," Heal...
The Enemy Within
“Nothing could stop it now. They’d tried everything. Round the corner, out of sight, he broke into a run. Stooping under the twisted, steel arches, he scurried along between the snaking rails of the narrow track. He hadn’t expected to survive this long…” The Enemy Within is set around the time of the 1980s miners’ strike, a tumultuous era that continues to fascinate. It tells the story of how Jim, a young manager at a British colliery, and Paul, a miner, confront the threats to the survival of their mine, their community and their industry. Half a mile underground, they’re faced with an impossible deadline before being forced to confront the deadly hazards of fire, flood and ro...
