  At the turn of the twentieth century, sleep began to be seen not merely as a passive state but as an active, dynamic process crucial to our understanding of consciousness and identity. In Sleep Works, cultural historian and literary scholar Sebastian P. Klinger explores the intriguing connections between scientific inquiry and literary expression during an era when sleep was both a scientific mystery and a cultural fascination. 
   
   
   
  Scientists, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies were at the forefront of this newfound fascination with sleep: some researchers distinguished sleep from related states such as fatigue and hypnosis, while others investigated sleep disorders and developed treatments for insomnia. Meanwhile, literary giants like Franz Kafka and Marcel Proust grappled with their own sleep disturbances and channeled these experiences into their writing. Through the lens of their discoveries, Klinger reveals the broader implications of sleep for concepts of selfhood and agency. 
   
   
   
  Tracing the emergence of sleep science and the cultural production of sleep through literature, Sleep Works weaves together literary analysis, historical context, and research in the archives of the pharmaceutical industry to provide a comprehensive and compelling account of how sleep has been understood, represented, and experienced in the modern era.

  Anger is a common emotion, and everyone experiences it at some point in their lives. However, when it comes to anger management, parents can be at a distinct disadvantage because they often don’t have an outlet for their anger. This can lead to aggression, which can have lasting effects on their child’s development. 
  In this book, we explored the various ways in which parents can manage their emotions so that they’re not holding onto feelings of anger and frustration for too long. We also examine how parents can take steps to prevent aggression from taking root in their relationship with their children.  
  “Anger Management for Parents” is easy to read and understand. It contains hands-on methods and instructions, so you can follow along with the exercises in your own home. Whether you’re already a parent or are considering becoming one someday soon, it’s important to understand the signs of anger and aggression to recognize them in yourself or your child—and know how best to intervene if necessary!

  From Alchemy to Illusions: A Journey Through the History of Magic takes readers on an enchanting voyage, tracing the impact of magic on civilization. From ancient shamanic practices to today’s theatrical illusions, this book reveals how magic has influenced culture, religion, science, and imagination for millennia. 
  Magic has long connected the mundane with the mystical, and in From Alchemy to Illusions, readers discover its role across societies. In Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, magic was a divine tool for healing and transformation. Medieval Europe saw a clash between magic and Christianity, while the Renaissance revived alchemy, astrology, and Hermeticism, blending magic with early scientific thought. 
  The book explores magic's role in religious rituals, from shamanism to Sufism and Kabbalah, each using magic as a bridge to the divine. It also delves into witch hunts and inquisitions that sought to suppress practices viewed as heretical.

  From the bestselling author of 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act comes a powerful new book on dismantling the Indian Act and advancing Indigenous self-governance.Bob Joseph’s 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of Canadians by shining a light on the Indian Act and the problems associated with it. In that book, readers learned that the Consolidated Indian Act of 1876 has controlled the lives of Indigenous Peoples in Canada for generations, and despite its objective to assimilate Indians into the economic and political mainstream, it has had the opposite effect: segregation. They live under different laws and on different lands.People came away from that book with questions such as "Can we get rid of the Indian Act?" and "What would that look like? Would self-government work?" These are timely questions, given that 2026 will mark 150 years since the Consolidated Indian Act of 1876. The short answer to these questions is, yes, we can dismantle the Act, and there are current examples of self-government arrangements that are working.With his trademark wisdom, humility, and deep understanding, Bob Joseph shows us the path forward in 21 Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act, in which Indigenous self-governance is already happening and not to be feared—and negotiating more such arrangements, sooner rather than later, is an absolute necessity.21 Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act is a call to action. Join the conversation now.
