Dispatches from Disabled Country
“Disability is not our worst-case scenario – our worst-case scenario would be its annihilation.” This is the starting point for this powerful collection of writing by and about Catherine Frazee, disability activist, Officer of the Order of Canada, and poetic scholar of justice. For Frazee, disability is not something to be dreaded or overcome but a force to be reckoned with – a prism of insight and experience that refracts new light upon our fundamental ideals of justice, beauty, and community. Catherine Frazee has been a central figure in the disability rights landscape in Canada for decades. Her reasoned and passionate insights are topical and often ahead of their time. Always bold, always progressive, and frequently provocative, Frazee’s work presents an unwavering, fierce commitment to engage in public debate from a position that centres the lives of disabled people. Taken together, these writings chronicle the rising consciousness of a social movement of disabled people staking their claim in public policy and popular culture, a claim that is overdue for honest recognition.

One Ring Circus
Introduction by Stephen Osbourne One Ring Circus pays homage to the wrestling lifestyle that spawned such stars as Hulk Hogan and The Rock.

Capturing the visceral energy of a remarkable, near-clandestine community, this book is nothing short of inspirational. Includes more than 100 b/w photographs.

Politician and bestselling novelist Sam McCue has led a pretty charmed life … until now. In Baby Governor, this American wunderkind takes the reins with youthful energy and finds that power isn’t always what it seems. Picking up where The Candy Stripers and The Nannies left off, this third instalment goes all the way as Sam becomes the youngest-ever Governor of his state. With diapers, bottles and three willing nannies added to the mix, Sam’s improbable political journey turns into the ride of a lifetime.

This final book in an autobiographical trilogy is written by a New York Times bestselling author and lifelong infantilist.
A Wilder West
The rodeo cowboy is one of the most evocative images of the Wild West. The master of the frontier, he is renowned for his masculinity, toughness, and skill. A Wilder West returns to rodeo's small-town roots to explore how rodeo simultaneously embodies and subverts our traditional understandings of power relations between man and nature, women and men, settlers and Aboriginal peoples. An important contact zone – a chaotic and unpredictable place of encounter – rodeo has challenged expected social hierarchies, bringing people together across racial and gender divides to create friendships, rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. At the rodeo, Aboriginal riders became local heroes, and rodeo queens spoke their minds. A Wilder West complicates the idea of western Canada as a “white man's country” and shows how rural rodeos have been communities in which different rules applied. Lavishly illustrated, this creative history will change the way we see the West's most controversial sport.
The Candy Stripers
Like most adult babies, diapers had fascinated Sammy McCue since he was a small boy. The big difference: Sam’s Mom knew of his unusual interest and, as a former nurse, had no problem helping her son become a baby again. When Sam was 10, his Mom hired a college nanny to babysit, and Sam and his Nanny Sanny shared an evolving love story like no other. Written by a New York Times bestselling author, The Candy Stripers is a full-length novel based on actual events. Sam and Sandy’s unique journey will stick with you long after you’ve finished the book.
