  “A Precarious Enterprise has all of the DNA necessary for future historians to fully understand the joyous and unexpected rodeo that was CanLit 1.0. It was a cherished window in time, and Scott tells of it with love and the ultimate insider’s POV.” — Douglas Coupland, author and artist
  		 
  Ever wondered how a publishing house works? Scott McIntyre tells all in this behind-the-scenes look at Canadian publishing
  		 
  Scott McIntyre has lived the story of Canadian book publishing. Beginning his career at McClelland & Stewart in 1967, he went on to cofound his own publishing house, Douglas & McIntyre, in 1970 and made his mark on the industry amid the country’s exhilarating literary coming-of-age.
  		 
  Becoming one of Canada’s largest and most respected publishing houses and among the first to embrace Indigenous issues, Douglas & McIntyre and its associated children’s publisher, Groundwood Books, published some 900 authors and 2,000 books in less than 50 years. For McIntyre, the authors always came first, and he worked closely with many important figures, including Doris Shadbolt, Wayson Choy, Richard Wagamese, Anna Porter, Will Ferguson, Douglas Coupland, Hugh Brody, Robert Bringhurst, Wade Davis, and Farley Mowat.
  		 
  Telling stories featuring a colorful array of characters who rebuilt the publishing world following WWII and anecdotes about how book publishing works, McIntyre touches upon the guiding philosophy and historic traditions still animating the industry today. More than the story of one publisher and his company, this is a first-person account of the buoyant period when writers, their books, and the companies who published them changed the nation.

  Kindness - The Gentle Touch -...

  Kindness is often seen as a simple and basic concept, yet it holds immense power in transforming lives. At its core, kindness is the act of being considerate and generous without expecting anything in return. However, its effects extend far beyond the immediate gesture. Research has shown that kindness has a direct influence on mental and physical well-being, not only for the giver but also for the receiver. When we show kindness, whether through small acts like offering a smile or through more profound actions like supporting a loved one in need, we are engaging in a form of healing. The energy we radiate through kindness has the ability to uplift others, create positive connections, and promote emotional growth. 
  The power of kindness is rooted in its ability to create a ripple effect. When someone experiences an act of kindness, it often inspires them to pass it on to others. This chain reaction can spread far and wide, creating a compassionate network that has the potential to change communities and even societies. Kindness has the unique ability to bridge divides and bring people together, creating a sense of unity and understanding. 
  Moreover, studies have shown that kindness has tangible benefits for our own well-being. Acts of kindness activate the brain’s reward system, releasing endorphins, which are known as “feel-good” hormones. This not only boosts mood but also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, when we engage in acts of kindness, we experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment, contributing to a more meaningful life. This emotional uplift can even improve our physical health, as acts of kindness lower blood pressure and enhance heart health by reducing stress levels.

  Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series 
   
  Welcome to a revolutionary approach to language learning! This series helps you master Spanish by intertwining it with compelling topics like Critical Thinking. Each book centers on a theme (art, science, history) and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and Spanish. 
   
  How It Works: 
   
  - Each fact is first introduced in Spanish, encouraging you to interpret it. 
   
  - The following page provides the fact in English and then repeats it in Spanish, aiding comprehension and memorization. 
   
  - The second half flips this order—English first, then Spanish, and English again—helping you practice translation in both directions for better mastery. 
   
  Benefits: 
   
  - Concise Learning: Focuses on one-sentence facts to ensure every word learned is impactful and directly related to your interests, making them easier to remember. 
   
  - Reinforcement: Alternating languages for each fact naturally strengthens vocabulary and grammar. 
   
  - Engagement: Learning vocabulary through topics you're passionate about keeps the process dynamic and relevant. 
   
  - Dual Knowledge: You enrich your understanding of a specific subject while learning a new language.

Whether you’re a beginner or expanding your linguistic skills, this series promises an effective and engaging educational journey. Embrace these 100 facts and let your passions drive your progress in mastering a new language!
