Beschreibung

In "Friend Island," Francis Stevens crafts a compelling tale that intricately weaves elements of fantasy and social commentary, set against the backdrop of a mysterious island inhabited by diverse characters. The narrative unfolds with a rich, immersive literary style that incorporates vivid imagery and psychological depth, typical of Stevens' work in the early 20th century. Taking place in a fantastical realm, the story explores themes of friendship, isolation, and the human condition, reflecting the author's engagement with societal issues of her time, particularly the complexities of human relationships in an increasingly fragmented world. Francis Stevens, a pioneer in speculative fiction and one of the first women to make significant contributions to the genre, drew on her own experiences and observations of the challenges faced by individuals in society. Her background in both fiction and journalism allowed her to deftly examine the interplay of human emotions and societal structures. "Friend Island" showcases her talent for blending fantasy with real-world anxieties, ultimately enabling her readers to reflect on their own lives through the lens of her imaginative narratives. I highly recommend "Friend Island" to readers who appreciate richly layered storytelling and are interested in the intersection of fantasy and profound social insight. Stevens' unique voice and thoughtful exploration of friendship and community will resonate with those seeking not only entertainment but also a deeper understanding of the human psyche.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do ... .. and from that moment onward we drift with Alice into another world. When she sees a White Rabbit as it runs through the tall grass (looking worriedly at the watch it takes from its waist-coat pocket), she runs after it and drops into a strange dream. The world is full of chatty animals, from a rather stand-offish hookah-smoking caterpillar to the friendly Cheshire Cat which only sometimes goes to the bother of having a body. And everyone seems to be ordering her about ... or telling her to recite poetry! ... and all those verses that she once knew so well seem strangely distorted.In this book and in "Through the Looking Glass", Lewis Carroll affectionately brought together many of the wonderful stories he told to Alice and her sisters on long summer boating trips.

Decrim: How We Decriminalized...

A timely, insider account of an important and controversial step in British Columbia’s strategic effort to respond to the overdose crisis. 
Canada is in the middle of an opioid crisis. Since the province of British Columbia declared a public health emergency in 2016, more than 9,400 people have died of drug poisoning in BC―an average of six people a day―with nearly 1,500 apparent opioid-related deaths in the first eight months of 2022. 
In Decrim, Kennedy Stewart, mayor of Vancouver from 2018 to 2022, recounts historic progress in addressing this crisis. January 31, 2023, is the beginning of a three-year trial period for decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of hard drugs in British Columbia, a ground-breaking change in Canada’s approach to drug use. Kennedy Stewart has written Decrim to tell the story of how this remarkable policy change came about and the enormous challenges faced by those who fought for it―including its contribution to him losing his bid for mayoral re-election. In Decrim, Stewart lays out how ending the “war on drugs” and recognizing the overdose crisis as a public health issue will help reduce stigma related to substance use, increase access to health services, and decrease harms related to criminalization in British Columbia.
