Sinopsis

Wires Connected explores the telegraph's revolutionary impact, marking a pivotal point in the history of communication and technological innovation. This book examines how the simple telegraph wire transformed societies by shrinking distances and enabling near-instantaneous communication, a stark contrast to the slower methods of the 19th century. The telegraph's influence extended beyond mere communication; it reshaped business practices, accelerated news dissemination, and even altered international relations, laying the groundwork for future technologies like the telephone and the internet.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the key inventions and figures behind the telegraph's creation, then detailing the construction of telegraph lines across continents and oceans. Subsequent chapters delve into the telegraph's broad social and economic impacts, analyzing its use in journalism, finance, and governance. It highlights the telegraph's role as a catalyst for the digital age, offering a comprehensive look at its technological, social, economic, and political implications.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the telegraph's societal impact, arguing that it fundamentally changed our perception of time and space. By presenting historical documents, technical manuals, and personal correspondence, Wires Connected offers a fresh perspective on the telegraph's enduring legacy and its essential role in shaping our interconnected world.

How to Recognize Toxic Friendships

Olivia Werner

[How to Recognize Toxic Friendships] delves into the intricate dance of human connection, where the lines between support and suffocation blur in the most subtle ways. With unflinching precision and raw emotional honesty, this exploration peels back the layers of seemingly normal friendships to reveal the quiet erosion that occurs when toxicity masquerades as care. Through a masterful examination of the invisible threads that bind us—from the weight of unspoken expectations to the currency of shared secrets—the book illuminates the complex patterns that transform connection into constraint. Written with a devastating clarity that echoes through everyday moments of friendship, this work doesn't just describe toxic relationships; it maps the delicate territory between loyalty and self-preservation, offering readers a mirror to recognize their own experiences in the soft violence of manipulated intimacy.

There Is No Blue

Martha Baillie

WINNER OF THE HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 
THE GLOBE AND MAIL: BOOKS TO READ IN FALL 2023 
THE GLOBE AND MAIL BEST 100 BOOKS OF 2023 
CBC BOOKS BEST CANADIAN NONFICTION OF 2023 
Martha Baillie’s richly layered response to her mother’s passing, her father's life, and her sister’s suicide is an exploration of how the body, the rooms we inhabit, and our languages offer the psyche a home, if only for a time.  
Three essays, three deaths. The first is the death of the author’s mother, a protracted disappearance, leaving space for thoughtfulness and ritual: the washing of her body, the making of a death mask. The second considers the author’s father, his remoteness, his charm, a lacuna at the centre of the family even before his death, earlier than her mother’s. And then, the shocking death of the author’s sister, a visual artist and writer living with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, who writes three reasons to die on her bedroom wall and then takes her life. 
"Martha Baillie’s novels are thrillingly, joyously singular, that rare combination of sui generis and just plain generous. That There Is No Blue, her memoir, is all of those things too, is no surprise; still, she has gone somewhere extraordinary. This triptych of essays, which exquisitely unfolds the “disobedient tale” of the lives and deaths of her mother, her father, and her sister, is a meditation on the mystery and wonder of grief and art making and home and memory itself. It made me think of kintsugi, the Japanese art of repair, in which the mending is not hidden but featured and beautifully illuminated. Baillie’s variety of attention, carved out of language, is tenderness, is love." – Maud Casey, author of City of Incurable Women 
"This is a stunning memoir, intense and meticulous in its observations of family life. Baillie subtly interrogates and conveys the devastating mistranslations that take place in childhood, the antagonism and porousness of siblings,  and the tragedy of schizophrenia as it unfolds.  I couldn’t put it down." – Dr. Lisa Appignanesi, author of Mad, Bad and Sad and Everyday Madness 
"Exquisite." – Souvankham Thammavongsa, author of How to Pronounce Knife 
"I am grateful for this profound meditation on family and loss.” – Charlie Kaufman, filmmaker 
"This strange, unsettling memoir of outer life and inner life and their bizarre twining captures the author’s identity by way of her mother’s death, her sister’s failing battle with mental illness, and the mysterious figure of her father.  It combines anguished guilt, deep tenderness, and bemused affection in highly evocative, often disturbing prose.  Its brave honesty is amplified by a persistent lyricism; its undercurrent of fear is uplifted by a surprising, resilient hopefulness.  It is both a plea for exoneration and an act of exoneration, an authentic meditation on the terrible difficulty of being human." – Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon
