Why We Make Bad Political Decisions and How We Can Make Better Ones DAVID MOSCROP Brexit. Trump. Ford Nation. In this timely book, David Moscrop asks why we make irrational political decisions and whether our stone-age brains can process democracy in the information age. In an era overshadowed by income inequality, environmental catastrophes, terrorism at home and abroad, and the decline of democracy, Moscrop argues that the political decision-making process has never been more important. In fact, our survival may depend on it. Drawing on both political science and psychology, Moscrop examines how our brains, our environment, the media, and institutions influence decision-making. Making good decisions is not impossible, Moscrop argues, but the psychological and political odds are sometimes stacked against us. In this readable and provocative investigation of our often-flawed decisions, Moscrop explains what’s going wrong in today’s political landscape and how individuals, societies, and institutions can work together to set things right. DAVID MOSCROP is a political theorist with an interest in democratic deliberation and citizenship. He is a regular political commentator on television and radio. His writing has appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines including Maclean’s, the Washington Post, the Globe and Mail, and the National Post.

A farmer’s son from San Giacomo, Italy, Antonio took his first flight over Nairobi, Kenya, in 1970 at the age of 24. By 1976, he had become a commercial pilot. Then, in the early 1980s, he purchased a single-seat, open-cockpit, home-built Smith biplane, a throwback to leather flying caps, gauntlets, pencil-thin moustaches, and twinkling eyes behind oil-speckled goggles. More than three decades later, Antonio’s son, Jonathan, came across one of only three airworthy Smith biplanes and thus began a journey to retrace his father’s airborne life. He finds Antonio’s first flying instructor, an Australian ex-pat living in Kenya; the soft- spoken Swiss-Canadian who managed to get Antonio’s biplane into the air; the free- spirit dreamer who bought it to dogfight with his mates; and the air traffic controller who, as a teenager, bought the plans to build the biplane that Jonathan would fly 35 years later. In this story of a father and son, Jonathan catches fleeting glimpses of his father’s life in the air and rediscovers his own passion for flight. All the while he captures “the rush of speed, the exhilaration of the wind’s breath rushing through the cockpit and, along the fabric flanks, the surreal sensation of gravity’s pull and lift’s might.” JONATHAN ROTONDO is an award-winning writer, recovering journalist, and biplane pilot who spent his childhood hanging off airport perimeter fences across Ontario and Quebec — a passion that spilled over into adulthood. He lives in Ottawa.

In a career spanning more than five decades in a largely male-dominated art world, Kollwitz developed powerful and emotional imagery based on her own experiences, her interactions with working-class women in Berlin, and her exposure to the horrors of two world wars. While her naturalistic style at first appeared to be out of touch with the currents of abstraction that were becoming dominant during her lifetime, her depictions of universal human experiences, the depth and emotional power of her dense networks of lines and light and dark contrasts, were a potent reflection of her time that continue to resonate today. Kollwitz’s compassion for those in need resulted in international renown. Today she is one of Germany’s best-known artists of the 20th century. Her name evokes images of bereaved mothers, ailing, fatherless children, and anguished parents, but her reputations rests on her artistic talent and drive for experimentation in a wide range of media. This extraordinary publication examines the richness and depth of Kollwitz’s work and features more than 100 colour and black-and-white reproductions of her engravings, drawings, and sculptures, largely drawn from the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario, as well as essays by Brenda Rix on Kollwitz’s life and art and by Brian McCrindle on building the Kollwitz collection. BRENDA RIX is a curator at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Brian McCrindle donated the Käthe Kollwitz collection to the AGO. 6 GOOSE LANE EDITIONS | ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO Winter 2019 7 9781773101231 hc | $40 120 pages, 10.25 x 10.25 Mickalene Thomas Illustrated, index Femmes Noires April 2019 Art Edited by ANDREA ANDERSSON and JULIE CROOKS Rights held: World with the Art Gallery of Ontario Mickalene Thomas’s vivid paintings, collages, and photographs explode off the wall.

Her ability to detect and contain contradictions and to wrestle with stereotypes translates into powerful, self-possessed depictions of Black women that confront and subvert stereotypes. Femmes Noires is a bold examination of Thomas’s work and her artistic practise at an important moment in history. It blends writing from iconic Black writers and essayists (Alice Walker, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Edwidge Danticat, and Lorraine O’Grady) with 120 reproductions from Thomas’s œuvre (collages, paintings, film stills, and photographs). Original essays by Andrea Andersson, visual arts curator of the Contemporary Art Center of New Orleans; Julie Crooks, curator at the Art Gallery of above: Ontario; and writer-art critic Antwaun Sargent complete the book.

On July 6, 2011, Richard Oland, scion of the Moosehead brewing family, was bludgeoned to death in his Saint John office. In a shocking turn, the multimillionaire’s only son, Dennis, was arrested for second-degree murder. Found guilty by a jury in 2015, Dennis Oland successfully appealed his conviction and was retried in 2018 and 2019. Following the defence’s arguments that any jury would be unfairly biased against Oland and a botched jury-selection process, a mistrial was declared. Then it was dramatically announced that the retrial would be conducted by a judge without a jury — a rare event in Canadian law for a murder trial. In this new updated edition, Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon takes readers inside the final stages of one of Canada’s most gripping murder trials, including the issues with the original police investigation, Oland’s appeal and his subsequent appearance at the Supreme Court, new evidence and witnesses brought forward in the second trial, and the sensational verdict. The definitive account of a series of trials for a horrific crime, Shadow of Doubt lays bare the tribulations of a prominent family and the inner workings of the justice system that led to Dennis Oland’s contentious conviction, retrial, and acquittal.

The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

  • Alden Nowlan - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Alden Nowlan - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Alden Nowlan(25 January 1933 - 27 June 1983) Alden Nowlan was born into rural poverty in Stanley, Nova Scotia, adjacent to Mosherville, and close to the small town of Windsor, Nova Scotia, along a stretch of dirt road that he would later refer to as Desolation Creek. His father, Gordon Freeman Nowlan, worked sporadically as a manual labourer. His mother, Grace Reese, was only 15 years of age when Nowlan was born, and she soon left the family, leaving Alden and her younger daughter Harriet, to the care of their paternal grandmother. The family discouraged education as a waste of time, and Nowlan left school after only four grades. At the age of 14, he went to work in the village sawmill. At the age of 16, Nowlan discovered the regional library. Each weekend he would walk or hitchhike eighteen miles to the library to get books, and secretly began to educate himself. "I wrote (as I read) in secret." Nowlan remembered. "My father would as soon have seen me wear lipstick." <b>Career and later Life</b> At 19, Nowlan's artfully embroidered résumé landed him a job with Observer, a newspaper in Hartland, New Brunswick. While working at the Observer, Nowlan began writing books of poetry, the first of which was published by Fredericton's Fiddlehead Poetry Books. Nowlan eventually settled permanently in New Brunswick. In 1963, he married Claudine Orser, a typesetter on his former paper, and moved to Saint John with her and her son, John, whom he adopted.

PURDY, DONALD STEPHENS, BARBARA THOMSON GODARD Annual Supplement CANADIAN LITERATURE CHECKLIST, I970 A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND RGVIGW NEW TRENDS IN PUBLISHING (2) HAVING FOUNDED House of Anansi, and having in the process created a facility of a kind Canada has never had before for publishing experimen- tal fiction, Dave Godfrey moved on to establish, with two partners, the more politically-oriented publishing house called New Press — or, to use its own typo- graphical style — new press. When it was first announced, and the founders made their smiling debut in a Time report, new press took the stand for Canadian nationalism. At that time I put a testing question to see just what intellectual rigidities this might conceal. Dave Godfrey assured me that the definition of nationalism was in no sense restricted ; an anarchist regionalist, for example, would not be turned away. And it is this malleable, undogmatic quality that I find the most attractive quality of new press. Its partners are businesslike, but unpushing. Indeed, the only letter they failed to answer was that in which I talked of writing a piece on their work, and asked for information. Other publishers would have tumbled over their own ankles to answer, new press merely ignored the request, and one sensed behind the ignoring less a radical independence than a gentlemanly disinclination to carry too far the imperatives of trade.

    UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA IN SEARCH OF A LIVING LITERACY: LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND ECOLOGICAL SENSIBILITY By PATRICK G. HOWARD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF SECONDARY EDUCATION EDMONTON, ALBERTA WINTER 2006 Abstract The impetus for this study was the result of living with children on the coast of Newfoundland during the culmination of decades of blatant disregard for the marine ecosystem. The ensuing social upheaval underscored the deep interrelatedness of human culture and the living Earth. This research project is born of a belief that education, in its present form, may be an obstacle to a new understanding of our place in the living world. It proposes to see language as a way to re-vision what it means to dwell in place. Our society is in need of a highly ecologically literate citizenry. To achieve this we must move beyond the perspective of science that underlies many environmental education programs and recover an interpretive, moral, and human relationship with place. This study inquires into the pedagogical possibilities for nurturing ecological sensibility in children. The hermeneutic phenomenological methodology and the thematic analysis of children‘s written response to bioregional poetry revealed phenomenological insights of pedagogical value. As the children formed new ecological sensibilities, the interpretive practice was transformative for the researcher, deepening a sense of radical interconnectedness. Guided by the theory of ecological holism, this inquiry elaborates an experiential and embodied dimension of reader response theory. An important goal of the study is to understand literary engagement as nested in a larger web of relations that includes the cognitive, the biological, even the spiritual.
