  Twenty-four + One: A Mother’s Story of Faith, Love and Miracles is a heartfelt memoir chronicling the powerful journey of Ash Ruddy, a mother whose strength and faith were forged in the fires of uncertainty and fear. At just twenty-four weeks and one day into her pregnancy, Ash faced delivering her son, Michael. What began as a medical emergency quickly unfolded into a life-altering spiritual journey. 
  As Ash battles the emotional and physical trials of extreme prematurity, she finds herself leaning into something greater than medicine or human strength—her growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Through late nights filled with prayer, moments of doubt met with grace, and quiet miracles that affirmed her hope, Ash learns what it means to trust fully in God’s plan. 
  This deeply personal account explores the intersection of motherhood and faith, as Ash walks through every appointment, every complication, and every answered and unanswered prayer with vulnerability and resilience. Twenty-four + One is not just the story of a mother fighting for her child’s life—it is the story of a woman transformed by the love of Christ. 
  With each chapter, readers witness Ash’s evolving faith, her unwavering love for her son, and the miracles—big and small—that led her closer to her Savior. It’s a testimony to the power of God’s presence in life’s darkest valleys, and a tribute to the miracles that happen when we surrender to His will. 
  Both inspiring and deeply moving, Twenty-four + One is a testament to the strength of a mother’s love, the beauty of unwavering faith, and the grace that carries us when we can no longer carry ourselves.

  Delight

  ‘An exquisitely-written, generous, funny, thoughtful book about the everyday joys of being alive. I love it.’ Dolly Alderton 
  ‘J. B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th Century and it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.’ Dame Judi Dench 
  ‘My apology, my little bit of penitence, for having grumbled so much, for having darkened the breakfast table, almost ruined the lunch, nearly silence the dinner party, for all the fretting and chafing, grousing and croaking, for the old glum look and the thrust-out lower lip. So my long-suffering kinsfolk, my patient friends, may a glimmer of that delight which has so often possessed me, but perhaps too frequently in secret, now reach you from these pages.’ 
  There are times when there doesn’t seem much to smile about. And for those times, there is this book. J. B Priestley’s 1949 classic teaches us that joy may be found in even the simplest things, and that we all have the capacity to appreciate them. 
  Delight comprises a series of short essays, all focussing on a single simple pleasure, from reading detective stories in bed to smoking a pipe in the bath; from ‘Cosy planning’ to the earliest summer mornings; and from mineral water in the bedrooms of foreign hotels to the smell of bacon in the morning. 
  Combining poignant memories of his childhood with glimpses of his interior world, panoramas of life abroad with thoughts about writing, music, theatre – some strictly personal, some universal –this highly readable book bursts with humour and literary flare on every page. 
  In his autobiography, Priestley takes us on a travel through his life, sharing collections of moments that brought him happiness. This non-fiction memoirs book is a top pick for anyone seeking growth. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), Marion Turner (The Wife of Bath), Felicity Cloake (Red Sauce Brown Sauce), and Ross Gay (The Book of Delights).

  “Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
  		 
  “It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
  		 
  In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.

  Charles Babbage and Ada...

  While many are familiar with those facts, and a recent movie revived interest in Alan Turing’s achievements with computing during World War II, it was Charles Babbage who was the first to conceive the notion of a programmable and automatic universal computer, which, on top of its ability to calculate any mathematical equation at an unmatched speed, could also be used for a seemingly infinite number of other applications. In other words, he envisioned the precursor to the modern computer.   
  At first blush, Babbage hardly seemed the type, because in many ways, Babbage was the antithesis of the debonair, silver-tongued, and effortlessly charismatic CEOs of present-day tech giants. Babbage was a quirky individual to say the least. He was highly observant, but was in the same breath a habitual daydreamer, often caught in a trance of deep thought.  Indeed, his unquenchable thirst for knowledge and his brilliant mind were unparalleled, but this was paired with his restless, addictive, and extreme nature, as well as his obsession with precision and factual accuracy.  
  	Working with Babbage was certainly an unusual path for any woman, but Ada Lovelace managed to do so before an incredibly premature death. Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, died in 1852 at the age of 36, but during her short and tumultuous life, she was one of the first to recognize that computers could do far more than complex calculations. This was all the more surprising given that, during her life, no computers existed, and her ideas were based on an implicit understanding of the theoretical work of Charles Babbage, who himself is today recognized as the “Father of the Computer.” What makes her work truly startling is that she did this more than 100 years before the first computer had even been created. But Ada Lovelace was a woman, and in Victorian England, her work was generally either ignored or disparaged.
