The Codfish Dream Chronicles of a West Coast Fishing Guide David Giblin

A colourful portrait of life in an eccentric fishing village on the BC coast.

After spending fifteen years as a fishing guide on the BC coast, David Giblin decided that the offbeat people and places he’d encountered during that colourful period in his life had to be preserved. Like any good fish- ing story, wherein the fish seem to grow faster after they are dead, the forty-seven interconnected narratives in what eventually became The Codfish Dream took on a life of their own. The result is a series of hilarious, strange, keenly observed, true (or mostly true) stories of Giblin’s experien- ces.

A woman’s journey to uncover the fate of seven RCAF crewmen who perished in the Second World War.

For most of her life, Lisa Russ knew little about her second cousin, Robert “Bud” George Alfred Burt.

Miles to Go Beryl Young

A powerful and poignant story of two young girls’ friendship, family, loss, and loyalty, set in 1940s Saskatchewan.

“Beryl Young’s novel Miles to Go is sparse, poetic and, at times, perfectly heart wrenching. It subtly captures the coming of age of two young prairie girls. The beauty of this story is in the little things, the life things. In short: it’s wonderful.”—Arthur Slade, Governor General’s Award–winning author of Dust

“This is a tender story about two friends dealing with tragic personal loss. Beryl Young captures a snapshot of small town life in the 1940s. Lovingly told, realistic, sad, and, like life, often very funny.”—Harriet Zaidman, teacher-librarian and writer, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Total Transition The Human Side of the Renewable Energy Revolution Sandeep Pai and Savannah Carr-Wilson

Follow the journey of a Canadian and Indian couple, Savannah and Sandeep, as they travel the world to capture the human side of one of the biggest energy transitions of our times—the global shift from fossil fuels to renewables.

In this exciting and provocative new book, readers are taken into the homes of the coal miners who live and work in Jharia, a town in India that has been on fire for the past 100 years due to poor coal mining practices. Life in Jharia is a version of Dante’s inferno—700,000 people live in the most unimagin- able conditions. Yet even though residents of Jharia say they are dying slowly every day, they also say they’ll never leave. Almost 11,000 kilometres away, in the Canadian oil sands, workers and indigenous people similarly

Quenching the Dragon The Canada–China Water Crisis—An RMB Manifesto Robert William Sandford

In this latest RMB Manifesto, Canadian freshwater expert Robert Sandford takes readers to China and shares what it is like to deal with some of the most intractable freshwater problems in the world.

It all started out innocently enough: an airliner over the Pacific and a flight attendant passing out bottles of water. What those bottles represented, however, was the depth of China’s notorious bottled-water trade and the short-sightedness of the Government of Canada in declaring Canadian water an agricultural product that can be exported in billions of plastic bottles to China.

Calgary through the Eyes of Writers Shaun Hunter

A literary journey around Calgary as seen by its writers, from its frontier beginnings to today’s contemporary city.

Shaun Hunter tours readers and urban explorers through a place that has captivated writers since 1792. She has selected excerpts from over 150 novels, stories, poems and essays that sing the city’s human and natural terrain, plumb its past and question its prevailing mythologies.

They explore the city’s perpetual motion of extreme, unpredictable weather and a boom-and-bust economy. Through writers’ eyes, we travel into the inner sanctums of the oil patch, and see the layers of the world-famous Calgary Stampede.

Hypothermic, bleeding, and soaked in icy, bloody water, he is unable to speak, leaving Lane at a loss. What series of events brought him to this grisly fate? Darling and Ames are quick to pick up the case, but leads are few until Angela’s young son finds an unsettling clue on the beach—a bright red swastika lapel pin—that points to the National Unity Party of Canada.

Excerpt from Chapter 4, Loss

It did not take me long to realise that I really didn’t want to be deaf, and that—faced with a choice over whether to go gracefully or to yank the build- ing down around my fading ears—I was going to give it everything I’d got. Metaphorically speaking. On the outside I did my best to sound as if everything was fine. But inside I was hurling myself around the bars of my self-made cell from dawn until dusk, trying to claw my way towards the invisible adversary who I believed had somehow made me deaf in the first place. I knew one thing: I wasn’t going to be graceful about this. I wasn’t going to go quietly, and I had absolutely no intention of being even slightly well adjusted about it. If this was a kind of bereavement and bereavement was supposed to have four stages, then forget all that nut-roast stuff about submission and acceptance. I planned to stick right here on fear and denial with maybe a bit of cosmic plea-bargaining thrown in for good measure. I could be sane and proportionate about this, or I could turn a manageable development into a full-blown existential calamity. If there was a hard way to do this and an easy way, then I was going to march straight towards the door marked bloody impossible. Of course, at the time, none of this felt like a choice. Something had hap- pened and I’d reacted to it. That reaction seemed inevitable; I didn’t choose to feel terrible about going deaf, I just did. It’s only now that I understand there were other ways of reacting. But when it actually happened, I couldn’t figure out a way to be graceful when all I felt was ashamed.

Excerpt from the Foreword

After reading Diving for Seahorses, you’ll fully appreciate what a complex, beautiful, and intricate thing memory is. Indeed, in the hands of Hilde and Ylva Østby, memory is more than a simple repository of our selves. It’s a creative force—something dynamic that actively shapes our thinking. It has all the rich, layered complexity of human beings themselves. What makes the book unique is the double-barreled perspective the Østby sisters bring. Unlike, say, electrons or black holes, memory is both an objective and a subjective phenomenon. We need to understand the neurotransmitters and electrical firing patterns involved, but memory is a lived thing, too. We need both sides, in other words, the literary and the scientific, to make sense of memory. It’s therefore reassuring to know that Hilde Østby is a novelist and her sister Ylva a neuroscientist. Imagine if another sibling pair—William James the famous psychologist and Henry James the brilliant novelist—had combined forces, and you can see what a valuable perspective this combination provides. We usually think about science as ultra-rational, but it’s an intensely human activity as well. And it’s especially important to see that human side when studying memory, since it does influence our sense of self so profoundly. In exploring how memory works, then, Diving for Seahorses is really a dive into your innermost self—the most intimate aspects of your being. And when you surface from this dive, you’ll never see the world, or your own self, in quite the same way again.

Sam Kean, author of The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons and Caesar's Last Breath

The Way of the HR Warrior Leading the CHARGE to Transform Your Career and Organization Monica Frede, Keri Ohlrich, Phd

An empowering guide for ambitious HR professionals who want to maximize their impact on their organization’s culture and bottom line.

Undiscovered Country Al Rempel

Soulful accomplished poetry exploring loss

Undiscovered Country is filled with soulful accomplished writing in a variety of lyrical modes, including the long poem. When someone we love dies, what we miss are their presences and particulars. In this new book Rempel journeys through the grieving process, exploring death and loss, and the “dark night of the soul”; through the filters of the geographies and seasons of northern BC. What he finds is an “undiscovered country.” Even the bright clouds in spring or the colours of fall, or an afternoon with his daughter, offer an opportunity for the poet to contemplate his existence and rework his worldview. In this new country, he finds a measure of hope, Poetry / Landscape even in the darkest night; like a moon, illuminating a road by the river.
