  Shortlisted for the 2019 Governor General’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction
  		 
  An adventure story set against the backdrop of a son trying to understand his father
  		 
  After a 25-year break from boating, Brian Harvey circumnavigates Vancouver Island with his wife, his dog, and a box of documents that surfaced after his father’s death. John Harvey was a neurosurgeon, violinist, and photographer who answered his door a decade into retirement to find a sheriff with a summons. It was a malpractice suit, and it did not go well. Dr. Harvey never got over it. The box contained every nurse’s record, doctor’s report, trial transcript, and expert testimony related to the case. Only Brian’s father had read it all — until now.
  		 
  In this beautifully written memoir, Brian Harvey shares how after two months of voyaging with his father’s ghost, he finally finds out what happened in the O.R. that crucial night and why Dr. Harvey felt compelled to fight the excruciating accusations.

  The Travel Adventures Of An...

  Ralph White came to America in the early 1970s while the Vietnam War was still raging. On his Christmas break while teaching courses in Chicago he drove Route 66 to Los Angeles. In the desert of New Mexico he had his first spiritually transcendent experience. He says, “I felt like my mind expanded in consort with the scope of the landscape: seeing the vast stars above, the silence, and just the scale of the landscape.” All this was accompanied by the soundtrack of George Harrison playing My Sweet Lord. “I was having these profound experiences and if they were real then nothing could be more important...I made the decision to follow my heart and investigate.” And his heart took him to Canada, later driving from Vancouver through Central America, ending up in Peru and Ecuador. He received his “life assignment” in Machu Picchu and that was an insight about the need to create a more holistic and ecological world and culture and society. He started the Open Center in New York to do just that. Later, he had many other exciting and enlightening travel experiences including an undercover trek into Tibet and being in Russia during Glasnost. He also shares with us the importance of the teachings of Rudolph Steiner. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

  The Upcycle is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Cradle to Cradle, the most consequential ecological manifesto of our time. Now, drawing on the lessons gained from ten years of putting the cradle-to-cradle concept into practice with businesses, governments, and ordinary people, William McDonough and Michael Braungart envision the next step in the solution to our ecological crisis: We don't just reuse resources with greater effectiveness, we actually improve them as we use them.For McDonough and Braungart, the questions of resource scarcity and sustainability are questions of design. And they are practical-minded visionaries: They envision beneficial designs of products, buildings, and business practices-and they show us these ideas being put to use around the world as everyday objects like chairs, cars, and factories are being reinvented not just to sustain life on the planet but to grow it. It is an eye-opening, inspiring tour of the next industrial revolution as it unfolds in front of us.The Upcycle is every bit as ambitious as such classics as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring-but its mission is very different. McDonough and Braungart want to turn on its head our very understanding of the human role on earth: We should not just protect the planet from ourselves but should redesign our activity to improve the planet. And that goal is well within our reach.

  The CDL Exam Made Easy: Discover How to Breeze Through the Test and Ensure Your Future in the Trucking Industry 
  The Commercial Driver’s License is an incredibly coveted thing. Truck drivers are currently in high demand, and there is no shortage of job opportunities. 
  And then there’s the financial prospect of it: you don’t have to own a college degree for CDL training, which means no college debts. 
  Think about it: you’d be making a low-cost investment that will pay itself off in no time. 
  But there’s a catch. 
  Passing a driving exam can be stressful, but in comparison to the CDL exam it’s basically child’s play. 
  Manuals are boring and long, and people get lost trying to figure out which endorsement to take. The regulations and requirements are different from state to state, which means you have to spend days finding out which parts of the manual you’re supposed to study. 
  In this manual you will discover: 
  ●    A detailed walkthrough of all endorsements and restrictions 
  ●    A comprehensive guide on the knowledge and skill tests, to help you breeze through them and start working as a trucker as soon as possible 
  ●    The basics of every CDL exam, from having control over the vehicle to how to deal with road rage and driving emergencies 
  ●    The most detailed guide on transporting cargo and passengers, air brakes, and hazardous material 
  ●    A bonus chapter that explores the emergence of electric semis and autonomous driving software -- discover what this means for the future of the trucking industry 
  ●    Practice questions and tests that cover everything that might come up on your exam 
  And much more.
