In her first collection of poems, Ching Yeung Russell captures a world of rich snapshots from her youth in Hong Kong. Readers of all back-grounds will relate to spirited Yeung Ying, her dynamic family, and the obstacles in life we each must overcome.

Months after she has been healed from the Enemy Sickness that af-flicted her in Trail of the Dead, Lozen and her family have gathered a community around them in Valley Where First Light Paints the Cliffs and have begun to rebuild. Lozen knows danger still stalks them and she intends to be ready to defend her people, but she hopes to avoid killing another human being— though gemod monsters are not off the table. Miles away, the remaining Ones plot Lozen’s de-mise, and a threat Lozen thought she’d eliminated comes closer. And a newfound power will complicate everything for Lozen. Masterful storyteller Joseph Bruchac delivers a satisfying conclusion to the ac-claimed Killer of Enemies series.

As a young boy, José Martí traveled to the countryside of Cuba and fell in love with the natural beauty of the land. During this trip he also witnessed the cruelties of slavery on sugar plantations. From that moment, Martí began to fight for the abolishment of slavery and for Cuban independence from Spain through his writing. By age seven-teen, he was declared an enemy of Spain and was forced to leave his beloved island. Martí traveled the world and eventually settled in New York City. But the longer he stayed away from his homeland, the sicker and weaker he became. On doctor’s orders he traveled to the Catskill Mountains, where nature inspired him once again to fight for freedom. Here is a beautiful tribute to José Martí, written in verse with ex-cerpts from his seminal work, Versos Sencillos. He will always be re-membered as a courageous fighter for freedom and peace among all men and women.

When his older sis-ter, Jessie, shows off her new shimmery skirt, Casey wants to wear a shimmery skirt too. When Jessie comes home from a party with glit-tery nails, Casey wants glittery nails too. And when Abuelita visits wearing an armful of sparkly bracelets, Casey gets one to wear, just like Jessie. The adults in Casey’s life embrace his interests, but Jessie isn’t so sure. Boys aren’t supposed to wear sparkly, shimmery, glittery things. Then, when older boys at the library tease Casey for wearing “girl” things, Jessie realizes that Casey has the right to be himself and wear whatever he wants. Why can’t both she and Casey love all things shimmery, glittery, and sparkly?

Nine-year-old Maria Singh learns to play softball just like her heroes in the All-American Girls’ League, while her parents and neighbors are struggling through World War II, working for India’s independence, and trying to stay on their farmland.

Around the world, people celebrate the start of the new year at mid-night when December 31 becomes January 1. But not everyone cel-ebrates on this date. In fact, during every month of the year, some group of people in some part of the world is celebrating the new year. Chinese New Year is celebrated in January or February. Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, is celebrated on March 21. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is celebrated in September or October. Diwali, cel-ebrated in parts of India, falls in October or November. All these cel-ebrations, and many others, have unique traditions and festivities that people observe. Acclaimed poet MARILYN SINGER has created a lively collection of po-ems that pay tribute to several of these fascinating festivities, some well-known and some lesser-known. Together with Susan L. Roth’s vi-brant collage illustrations, we are taken on a whirlwind international tour of these diverse celebrations.

An Act of InjusticeRay Argyle

A bride, a groom, and a lover. Each with secrets from their past that when exposed, will change their lives forever. One will die, another will hang, and the survivor will begin an obsessive twenty-year odys-sey to discover the truth. Three people caught up in the harsh class differences and religious and racial prejudices of Victorian Canada, where a vast new territory – the “Queen’s Bush” – is being opened to settlement in Ontario’s Georgian Bay country. Inspired by the true lives of Rosannah Leppard and Cook Teets, real people who lived and loved, An Act of Injustice follows disgruntled newspaperman Leonard Babington in a combination courtroom drama, murder mystery, and a meditation on the moral malaise of Victorian Canada. His obses-sion to find the killer plunges him into the labyrinth world of Ottawa power politics, the salons of a smug and self-satisfied “Toronto the Good,” and the licentiousness of the city’s Insane Asylum. Ray Argyle achieves literary distinction and storytelling mastery in this Cana-dian historical novel that brings the urgency of today’s headlines to the struggle for romance, justice and equality in a young Canada making its way to the 20th Century.

RAY ARGYLE has been a journalist, publishing executive and com-munications consultant. His books include five biographical fascinat-ing personaltities, including french leader Charles de Gaulle, ragtime musician Scott Joplin, and Canada’s last Father of Confederation, Joey Smallwood.

François Boucher: Sociability, Mondanité and the Academy in the Age of Louis XVChristoph Vogtherr & Leda Consentino eds.

François Boucher: Sociability, Mondanité and the Academy in the Age of Louis XV assembles fourteen thought-provoking essays from leading international scholars originally presented at the conference Bouch-er and the Enlightenment, held at the Wallace Collection.Taken as a whole, the essays present a wealth of new material con-cerning Boucher’s social and professional relationships to his patrons, dealers and fellow artists, which in turn illuminate, as no subsequent publication has done, his extraordinary position at the crossroads of the fine, decorative literary and musical arts of his time. The book includes biographical information regarding Boucher’s life, artistic practices and relationships, while new research is also published re-garding detailed connoisseurship and dating of his work alongside new interpretations of its iconography and critical and commercial reception.Half of this book is Boucher’s original French text.

Selected and New PoemsChad Norman

Chad Norman hopes readers find an entrance into his poems. Over the years, both the page and the performance have provided doors without locks, just handles that need to be turned, and pushed upon, finding the poem no more than a room to be entered, a room to be found both comfortable and easily exited. However, these poems have their own desires, and wishes, to go back out into the world, caught in our mind, or the memory, or where the heart stores what the past and future may wish to present to whomever chooses to stop and read what they have to offer.Selected and New Poems compiles a series of new poems by Norman alongside a curated selection of some of his most acclaimed and well regarded works from previous work to form a book that reflects Nor-man’s truely unique and evolving voice.

CHAD NORMAN currently lives in Truro, Nova Scotia.

Small Acts shares Bernice Lever’s mature voice in full swing from iron-ic love poems via Facebook – to gentle suggestions of how to create peace in our homes and areas – to ironic political rants – to awe of the beauty of our earth that seems in a state of destruction – to fame and wealth addictions. Small Acts is both a warning of what could be if people don’t start caring, and a herald of hope in the promise of tomorrow and the power of small acts of kindness.

The Blue Flow BelowDon Gutteridge

The Blue Flow Below is a collection of poems in which the poet revisits his childhood and reflects on being a grandfather and a writer.

“Like a bridge newly built over the wide expanse of a fast flow-ing river, these poems span the life of a man who still tingles with amazement at the beauty of the present, as he also sees through misty memory how viewing the past with a clear eye might yield the sacred truth of what it means to be fully human. Whether Don Gut-teridge is recalling his childhood, remembering the loss of contem-porary friends grown old, or he is delighting in the love he feels for his family, he is a man who continues to celebrate his own good for-tune. He sees deep into the blue water flowing beneath the bridge, though he sometimes finds himself stranded on the shore. His po-etry embraces scripture, celebrating both the child’s Bible Christ of the hymn Jesus Loves Me, and the adult understanding of the suffer-ing of Christ on the cross. He does not shy away from death. These are brave poems. Like small prayers they partake in the possibility of language as a numinous reminder that the best words in the best order might bring inner life to the surface where it shines. “ John B. Lee Poet Laureate of the city of Brantford in perpetuity, Poet Laureate of Norfolk County for life

On Threshold of MagicBarry Brodie


Black

Moss

The book 1967: Centennial Year is a collection of poetry that com-memorates Canada’s 150th anniversary through the eyes of a 10-year old Bruce Meyer. 1967 explores the events and experiences that both Canada and Bruce witnessed together to form what they are today. This collection features award-winning pieces such as “Sunday Drives” and “Heirloom Tomatoes,” but does not take away the bril-liance behind “Instamatic, December 1966” and “The Boy Without R.” Nostalgic, charming and elegant, Bruce Meyer strikes home with 1967: Centennial Year.

On Threshold of Magic by Barry Brodie is an anthology of work situ-ated around the author’s journey creating a play about the life and legacy of Tom Thomson. The play, Threshold of Magic (also included in the book), explores Thomson’s legacy and inner journey as he meets the afterlife. Through witty journals and visually rich poetry, Brodie takes the reader through the drama, humour, and tender struggles of the creative journey to honour one of Canada’s greatest artists.

The Ethical Careers Guide How to Find Work You LovePaul Allen

This guide is aimed at anyone who wants to do something meaning-ful with their working life. As everyone’s idea of a meaningful job is different, it is not prescriptive or a definitive manual. Instead, it will inform and inspire readers – helping them to identify the best step(s) toward a more satisfying work life. There are two primary audienc-es: jobseekers (school leavers and graduates) and career switchers. Though they may have different experiences, there are crossovers between these groups – e.g. many people already in work will feel like they are starting again when they look to switch careers.

PAUL ALLEN writes about the voluntary sector for the Guardian, has run environmental projects for the BBC, and helped charities like Macmillan Cancer Support find their tone of voice.

Slave to Fashion features interviews and microdocumentaries with the men, women and children caught in slavery, making the clothes sold on our high streets, in Europe and the developing world.It also profiles best practice of brands and designers within the fashion industry to prove that slave-free fashion is achievable and fashion can be used to empower workers - whilst creating beautiful, competitive and accessible fashion.

SAFIA MINNEY is the founder of Fair Trade and sustainable fashion label, People Tree.

When a young Irish climber, Liam Doyle, sets out to discover who has murdered his father, high in the death zone of the ‘savage mountain’ K2, he is confronted by a series of inexplicable and deeply troubling events.Gradually and circuitously he uncovers an international fossil fuel cartel that has set out to restore the Arctic ice sheets, by covertly releasing aerosol sulphates into the planet’s stratosphere. Their in-tention is, once again, to discredit contemporary climate science, manipulate the markets, delay the development of renewables and ultimately make a further fortune from ongoing geo-engineering.Ice has returned, the South Asian monsoon has failed again and Donna Stone, the new US president, has been assassinated. There is now no choice for Liam and his associates but to risk their lives trying to expose the activities of this criminal cabal to the world’s media. Only then might it be possible to prevent a catastrophe that could ultimately claim the lives of more than a billion people.

RORY MCCOURT co-wrote, with Boyd Anderson, the novel Children of the Dust under the name Anderson McCourt. Apart from fiction he works extensively with several environmental groups concerned with climate change, ongoing coal mining and the health of Austra-lia’s Great Barrier Reef.

It is 1987, two years after Live Aid and PR expert Adrian Burles, work-ing with charity Africa Assist has a Big Idea that he thinks will keep Ethiopian hunger in the headlines and touch heartstrings (and purse strings) of people in the West.Aided by Anne Chaffey, an experienced nurse who has worked at the famine frontline for many years, he locates a young, malnourished Afar man called Mujtabaa wandering alone in the desert and flies him back to London.The world’s media is then invited to witness a skeletal Mujtabaa mak-ing a week long walk from Heathrow to a rally in Trafalgar Square. In fundraising terms, this was a great success – but the ethics of the exercise, the human impact on all concerned and the ultimate result are all profoundly to be questioned.The Walk is a provocative and unsettling novel about the morality of charity, the media and public relations. Situated in one single week it explores how far you can go to prick the public conscience.

PETER BARRY is the author of two other novels, I Hate Martin Amis Et Al and We All Fall Down

In more equal countries, human beings are generally happier and healthier, there is less crime, more creativity and higher educational attainment. Danny Dorling delivers all evidence that is now so over-whelming that it should be changing politics and society all over the world.For the past four decades, many countries, including the US and the UK, have chosen the path to greater inequality on the assumption that there is no alternative. Yet even under globalization, other na-tions continue to take a different road. The time will come when The Equality Effect will be as readily accepted as women voting or former colonies gaining independence – and it will come very soon.

Riddle Me This One A Treasury of Newfoundland TriviaJohn W. Doyle

A Class Act An Illustrated History of the Labour Movement in Newfoundland and Lab-radorBill Gillespie

Oddballs. Geniuses. Crooks. Newfoundland produces more than its fair share. And the world is a more interesting place because of New-foundland.

In this illustrated collection of trivia you’ll find questions, facts, and images that will surprise and amuse. Challenge yourself—and enrich your knowledge of Newfoundland and its ways.

Union activists rarely make it into the history books and when they do the picture is seldom flattering. In this new edition of A Class Act journalist Bill Gillespie confronts the myth.

This is the story of how Newfoundland and Labrador union members turned the nation, the colony and the province into the most highly organized jurisdiction in North America. Gillespie’s research reveals union losses and victories, their weaknesses and strengths and ul-timately, their success. The narrative is illustrated with more than a hundred photographs.

Where I Wanted to Be depicts the challenges of living a real life, holding down a job, or trying to, in a world most of us have to con-tend with on a daily basis.It’s difficult to pull off a portrait of a nice guy in ordinary circum-stances, going through the stress of daily living and tensions sur-rounding job and career opportunities, and Abray does it very well in simple, understated prose. No sensationalism or alien beings or suicidal desperation or academic angst or terrorist attacks or other assorted rampages and violations: just a life without earthshaking incident, but subtly humourous and convincing.

TOM ABRAY grew up near Strathroy, Ontario, and then moved to Montreal to study English at McGill University. After completing his M.A. in creative writing at Concordia University he began teach-ing at John Abbott College. His collection of short stories, Pollen (DC Books, 2011), was shortlisted for the Concordia University First Book Prize, as well as the Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction.

Most Wonderful in the Smallest A Freshwater Microscopist’s YearHernick

North American Bison Their Classification and EvolutionJerry N. McDonald

The book is written as a first person narrative in the form of a journal. It comprises four chapters – Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter – and the entries within each season describe the sample-collecting for-ays to local freshwater environments during one year. Microscopic organisms encountered in the slides derived from the samples are discussed and illustrated. The major protist groups are all covered, as well as a few metazoans and bacteria. The purpose is to show the reader what wonderful life forms are present microscopically in freshwater environments all around us, and to demonstrate that viewing and photographing them does not require sophisticated means. Also explaining why micro-communities are important and should be conserved.

North American Bison was originally published in 1981. It was based primarily upon information contained in paleontological, zoological, and archaeological collections in some 30 museums and universities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The resulting skeletal and chronological patterns were then fitted into the emerging habitat patterns to allow an ecological interpretation of the adaptation of the various species of bison to different environments during their tenure of, probably, more than a million years on the North American continent.

Thomas Jefferson, the Megalonyx, and the LegacyClayton Ray

Thomas Jefferson, an extraordinary communicator, is often con-sidered to be among the most accomplished demonstrators of the American Enlightenment. Among the many subject areas of interest to Jefferson was natural history, and his writings in this subject area, although rare, were superlative demonstrations of the thoughts of the time and the direction in which the youthful science of natural history was moving. This book looks first and foremost at Jefferson’s grasp and practice of science: it focuses in particular upon his ef-forts to document, describe, interpret and preserve the remains of parts of the skeleton of an extinct ground sloth from what is now West Virginia, the first extinct land mammal to be described from the continent; it reviews how his science has been viewed, overlooked, or criticized since he lived; and it expands upon the science of the ground sloth that has unfolded since he initially authored the first account of the existence of this form of life on the continent.
