The Human Shore
Since before recorded history, people have congregated near water. But as growing populations around the globe continue to flow toward the coasts on an unprecedented scale and climate change raises water levels, our relationship to the sea has begun to take on new and potentially catastrophic dimensions. The latest generation of coastal dwellers lives largely in ignorance of the history of those who came before them, the natural environment, and the need to live sustainably on the world’s shores. Humanity has forgotten how to live with the oceans. In The Human Shore, a magisterial account of 100,000 years of seaside civilization, John R. Gillis recovers the coastal experience from its orig...
Through Lover's Lane
It might surprise some to know that internationally beloved Canadian writer L.M. Montgomery (1874-1942), author of the Anne of Green Gables series, among other novels, and hundreds of short stories and poems, also fuelled a passion for photography.

Emotion, Identity and Death
Death affects all aspects of life, it touches our emotions and influences our identity. Presenting a kaleidoscope of informative views of death, dying and human response, this book reveals how different disciplines contribute to understanding the theme of death. Drawing together new and established scholars, this is the first book among the studies of emotion that focuses on issues surrounding death, and the first among death studies which focuses on the issue of emotion. Themes explored include: themes of grief in the ties that bind the living and the dead, funerals, public memorials and the art of consolation, obituaries and issues of war and death-row, use of the internet in dying and grieving, what people do with cremated remains, new rituals of spiritual care in medical contexts, themes bounded and expressed through music, and more.
Between Earth and Sky
Internationally renowned performance and visual artist GEOFFREY HENDRICKS created "Sky Boots, his first sky piece, shortly after his first visit to Cape Breton Island in 1964. Since, then he has used the isolated coastline of his Cape Breton home as a lens through which to explore his deep connection to place and history. The result is the impressive and multifaceted body of work in the exhibition "Between Earth & Sky (in knowing one, one will know the other): Geoffrey Hendricks. In her catalogue essay, curator SHAUNA McCABE traces Hendricks's interest in combining sky imagery with unexpected art forms to his involvement in the New York-based Fluxus movement of the early 1960s.
