The Sea Was in Their Blood
A journalist and maritime historian investigates the deadly 2013 storm that claimed the lives of five fishermen off the coast of eastern Canada. It was a frigid night in February 2013 when the five young fishermen vanished. The crew of the Miss Ally—a 12-metre Cape Islander from Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia—was fishing for halibut far off the Nova Scotia coast when their boat’s spotlight malfunctioned. A vicious winter storm was approaching from her south, and all other boats at the fishing grounds were steaming for shore. Unable to locate his longlining gear, the Miss Ally’s young captain decided to stay an extra day to retrieve the gear and, hopefully, a big catch. Their retreat dela...
Prison Wars
In this third culturist book, John Press takes us to a world on the brink of destruction and shoves it over! With pulp fiction excitement on every page, we learn of Quentin Longus' plan to televise prisoners fighting to the death in games called Prison Wars. Proceeds go to the state. Martin Sanger publicized this event from its inception. When Les Christiansen starts to turn Prison Wars into a war between the genders, men rise and society becomes a battle zone. Corrupted by fame, Sanger's writing pushes sex parties, the end of Quentin's marriage, drug use, lawlessness, and violence to their thrilling cataclysmic end.
Urban Aboriginal Policy Making in Canadian Municipalities
Individual chapters highlight the unique issues related to policy making in this field - the important role of diverse Aboriginal organizations, the need to address Aboriginal and Treaty rights and the right to self-government, and the lack of governmental leadership - revealing a complex jurisdictional and programming maze. Contributors look at provinces where there has been extensive activity as well as provinces where urban Aboriginal issues seem largely irrelevant to governments. They cover small and mid-sized towns, remote communities, and large metropolises. While their research acknowledges that existing Aboriginal policy falls short in many ways, it also affirms that the field is new...
Fearful Symmetry - The Fall and Rise of Canada's Founding Values
In the 1960s, Canada began a seismic shift away from the core policies and values upon which the country had been built. A nation of "makers" transformed itself into a nation of "takers." Crowley argues that the time has come for the pendulum to swing back - back to a time when Canadians were less willing to rely on the state for support; when people went where the work was rather than waiting for the work to come to them. Thought-provoking, meticulously detailed and ultimately polarizing, Fearful Symmetry is required reading for anyone who is interested in where this country began, where it's been, and where it's going.
Canada, the Provinces, and the Global Nuclear Revival
A timely contribution to understanding the policy challenges of relying on nuclear power.
Transforming Provincial Politics
Transforming Provincial Politics is the first province-by-province analysis of politics and political economy in more than a decade, and the first to directly examine the turn to neoliberal policies at the provincial and territorial level and examines how neoliberal policies have affected politics in each jurisdiction in Canada.
Aim for the Heart
Clint Eastwood is one of the world's most popular action stars, who has matured into a fine American producer-director. Entertaining, illuminating and packed with information, up to and including "The Changeling", this is the first book to cover his full life in the movies, from his beginnings in 1950s B-movies and in TV's "Rawhide" to "Gran Torino" showing how as both actor and filmmaker Eastwood aims for the heart of the drama, whatever the story. Howard Hughes follows Eastwood's craft through over 50 movies. He looks at his launch into superstardom in Sergio Leone's 1960s spaghetti westerns. Back in America, he built on his success as western hero with such films as "High Plains Drifter" ...
Canadian Wetlands
In Canadian Wetlands, Rod Giblett reads the Canadian canon against the grain, critiquing its popular representation of wetlands and proposing alternatives by highlighting the work of recent and contemporary Canadian authors, such as Douglas Lochhead and Harry Thurston, and by entering into dialogue with American writers. The book will engender mutual respect between researchers for the contribution that different disciplinary approaches can and do make to the study and conservation of wetlands internationally.

Casey's Law
Murphy’s Law tells us that if something can go wrong, it will. Al Casey tells us: If things can go right, they should. But you’ve got to make them go right by working hard.

He transformed places as diverse as American Airlines and the United States Post Office into successful giants. Here, with great wit and charm, he offers practical advice on where and how American business needs to focus if it is to maintain its position as global leader in the twenty-first century.
