From Bleeding Edge to Leading Edge
“I’ve done complicated. It’s complicated.” Residential and commercial buildings account for 17% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, that figure is roughly 29%. Net Zero homes, which produce at least as much energy as they consume, will play a key role in the current global climate crisis by drastically reducing energy consumption in the housing sector. Doug Tarry is a leading international authority on Net Zero homes.

The title of Doug’s book, “From Bleeding Edge to Leading Edge: A Builders Guide to Net Zero ...
Nearly News
Good satire is hard to find. It's even harder to write. While this is not a complete guide teaching all of the intricacies of writing satire, it does provide some biting satire and an explanation behind each story. The purpose of many of the articles was to show human flaws but not necessarily to solve problems. You can read right-wing rags or liberal laments for that. While most of the book is written as news articles, you will also find interviews with God and Satan, a sermon, and several opinion pieces from various voices. While nobody is a clear winner in this book, you might note the slightly liberal bias of the author, especially in later years. Even though most of the stories appear i...
The Playmaker
In 1789 in Sydney Cove, the remotest penal colony of the British Empire, a group of convicts and one of their captors unite to stage a play. As felons, perjurers and whores rehearse, their playmaker becomes strangely seduced. For the play's power is mirrored in the rich, varied life of this primitive land, and, not least, in the convict and actress, Mary Brenham.
Flint Bluff
Flint Bluff, a silver medal winner from the Independent Publishers, has received high praise from its readers. The novel is an extraordinary saga following three generations in the lives of several families as they settle a frontier community along the Mississippi River, which would become the city of Burlington, Iowa. Award winning author James Duermeyer creates a colorful tapestry of the period of 1833 to 1900 in which the American frontier became a magnet, drawing individuals to the vast lands of the newly opened Louisiana Purchase. You will meet European immigrants, Native Americans, and African Americans as they all make their way in this new community. Based on true historical events of the era, this richly detailed fictional story follows key figures of two families as they grow and face tremendous challenges, including Indian attacks, outlaws, the growing pains of the frontier town, participation in the siege of Vicksburg during Civil War, as well as strained family dynamics. The author skillfully incorporates events of humor, character-building, pathos, love, war, crime, and spirituality in this exciting, entertaining, and informative read that you will surely enjoy.

Leslie Stuart
Leslie Stuart (1864-1928) was a British songwriter best remembered as the composer of the hit show, Florodora. He began writing popular songs as a teenager, first for blackface and vaudeville performers, and eventually for more "legitimate" shows and revues. Florodora (1899), written in collaboration with London's most fashionable librettist, Owen Hall, was a musical-comedy sensation. Its combination of the traditional slow love ballads and waltzes with more rhythmic and long-lined numbers made it a worldwide success. He continued to compose through the first decade of the 20th century, laying the groundwork for the coming innovations in British and American musical theater.
