  Wild Apples

  Henry David Thoreau

  Henry David Thoreau’s Wild Apples is a luminous, invigorating walk through orchards, woodlots, and memory. Using the untamed apple as his compass, Thoreau ranges from ancient myth to New England fence lines, celebrating the rugged beauty, sharp flavor, and stubborn independence of nature uncommercialized. He traces the apple’s travels across continents, listens for birds in the boughs, and finds in the bracing bite of a wind‑fallen fruit a philosophy of freedom and self-reliance. 
   
  Narrated with warm clarity by Jason Michael Mann, this classic essay becomes an intimate field excursion—alive with scent, color, and weather. Hear the seasons turn: blossom-week’s perfume, October’s windfalls, and winter’s “frozen-thawed” miracle brimming with sweet cider. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Walden, nature writing, and mindful walking, Wild Apples invites you to slow down, look closely, and savor the world’s unmarketed flavors. Take it on a ramble, a commute, or a fireside evening, and rediscover how the wild still thrives at the edges of our cultivated lives.

  Stroll updated edition

  THE TORONTO STAR'S  "30 BOOKS WE CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS SPRING"The updated edition of a Toronto favourite meanders around some of the city’s unique neighborhoods and considers what makes a city walkableWhat is the 'Toronto look'? Glass skyscrapers rise beside Victorian homes, and Brutalist apartment buildings often mark the edge of leafy ravines, creating a city of contrasts whose architectural look can only be defined by telling the story of how it came together and how it works, today, as an imperfect machine.Shawn Micallef has been examining Toronto’s streetscapes for decades. His psychogeographic reportages situate Toronto's buildings and streets in living, breathing detail, and tell us about the people who use them; the ways, intended or otherwise, that they are being used; and how they are evolving. 
  Stroll celebrates Toronto's details – some subtle, others grand – at the speed of walking and, in so doing, helps us to better get to know its many neighbourhoods, taking us from well-known spots like the CN Tower and Pearson Airport to the overlooked corners of Scarborough and all the way to the end of the Leslie Street Spit in Lake Ontario 
  "Shawn Micallef offers an alternative perspective on the shape of neighbourhoods with an updated edition of Stroll, which originally appeared fifteen years ago. His 'psychogeographic walking tours' take us through what he calls the Middle, Westish, Northish, Eastish, and Eastest areas of Toronto, showing us the known and sometimes obscure buildings and features that define Canada’s largest city." – Pamela Divinsky, Literary Review of Canada 
  "Shawn Micallef is the unofficial mayor of Toronto, the genial ambassador the city needs and deserves. As he strolls Toronto’s broad avenues and its little streets, he finds hidden pockets of delight – and weirdness, too. Join him and fall in love with the city again." – Liz Renzetti, author of Bury the Lead 
  "When I moved to Toronto in 2011, Stroll was the first book I added to my library and course reading lists. My students and I get lost in the PATH, sneak into lobbies, and visit the archives with this book as our guide. Micallef’s friendly voice invites us to slow down and notice not just a few landmark buildings but the city’s built fabric as a whole. This updated version offers our collective memory a much-needed affectionate yet critical view of recent changes to the city." – Erica Allen-Kim, Author of Building Little Saigon 
  "Stroll is a delightful and eccentric guidebook, full of clever writing, amusing stories and charming maps that will make you want to strap on your walking shoes and head into the streets of Toronto." – Carol Off, Author/Broadcaster"Shawn Micallef looks at the city in a way we all should more often – he sees it as a living book that is alive with stories just waiting to be told to the attentive observer. In Stroll, he gives us an introduction to just how interesting and surprisingly dramatic those stories are, and how exciting our city is when we hear them." – David Crombie, former mayor of Toronto"A smart and intimate guide to the city that makes you feel like an insider from start to finish." – Douglas CouplandThis new edition updates things in the city that have changed and includes several new walks.

  Energy Transition - The...

  As a matter of fact, world coal production is still experiencing a notable increase. This rise has nothing to do with current changes in the US administration policy. It is just a new trend.
  
  As an example:
  
  In 2024, Australia approved three coal mine expansions.
  There are 25 additional proposals for new or expanded coal mines currently waiting for Federal government approval. This is more than during the last ten years and will simply represent massive additional CO2 emissions.
  
  These pending projects exceed the total from any single year of the last decade. Energy transition appears fraught with challenges, complexities, and structural contradictions. As we grapple with the harsh truths of the present, two fundamental questions arise:
  
  Will we be able to reach the 2050 net zero targets?
  What needs to change to make it happen?
  
  Clearly, the world will not be saved by:
  
  Switching to an electric car.
  Limiting your meat consumption.
  
  In what we could name "sofa-ecology behavior," we must refuse to shy away from inconvenient truths. Society should observe no taboos. We have no time for fear.
