    Named the fourth most important “Book of the Year” by the National Post in 2015 and voted “One Book/One Province” in Saskatchewan for 2017, The Education of Augie Merasty launched on the front page of The Globe and Mail to become a national bestseller and an instant classic.
    		 
    A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation. 
    A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation.
    		 
    As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse. 
    But even as he looks back on this painful part of his childhood, Merasty's sense of humour and warm voice shine through. 
    “In this book I have seen horror through eyes of a child.” — James Daschuk, author of Clearing the Plains
    		 
    “A story in which our entire nation has an obscure and dark complicity.” — David Carpenter, co-author of The Education of Augie Merasty and author of The Gold and other books

    Step beyond the ruins and into the pulse of ancient Rome—not the Rome of marble triumphs and imperial decrees, but of whispered spells, ghostly omens, and mythic memory. The Folklore of Rome: Myth, Magic, Dying, and the Making of the Empire is an immersive exploration of how stories, superstitions, and sacred rites shaped the world’s most enduring civilization from its legendary beginnings to its imperial zenith. 
    In these pages, history meets enchantment. Chapter by chapter, the book reveals how Roman identity was bound to its folklore: the way Livy’s histories blurred myth and moral lesson, how domestic charms and street-corner incantations governed daily life, and how rituals of dying transformed death into a civic and spiritual act. From household gods to battlefield omens, from public festivals to private fears, Rome’s imagination was alive with unseen forces—powers that both inspired and restrained its people. 
    With vivid scholarship and a storyteller’s touch, The Folklore of Rome uncovers the Empire’s hidden heartbeat: the dreams, doubts, and supernatural beliefs that gave meaning to conquest and glory. More than a study of myths and rituals, it is a rediscovery of Rome as a living myth itself—a civilization forever poised between the mortal and the divine.
