Synopsis

In "Canada Under British Rule," John G. Bourinot presents a comprehensive exploration of Canada's political and social evolution from the time of British colonization through the mid-19th century. Bourinot, drawing upon his keen historical insight, employs a narrative style that interweaves meticulous details with critical analysis, capturing the complexities of colonial governance, Indigenous relations, and the burgeoning Canadian identity. His work is contextualized within the broader landscape of British imperial history, serving as a vital resource for understanding the foundations of Canadian nationalism and the intricate dynamics of colonial power. Bourinot, a key figure in Canadian historiography and an early advocate for responsible governance in Canada, was shaped by his upbringing in a colonial context that fostered his interest in the interplay between Britain and its territories. His experience as a journalist and historian endowed him with an acute awareness of the legislative and cultural undercurrents that influenced Canada's trajectory during this formative period. This deep-seated connection to his subject matter propelled him to document the nuances of Canada's colonial experience meticulously. I highly recommend "Canada Under British Rule" to scholars, students, and any reader intrigued by the complexities of colonial history. Bourinot's rigorous scholarship and engaging prose make this work both informative and captivating, offering essential insights into the roots of modern Canada and the ongoing implications of its colonial legacy.

    Life's Too Short to Pretend...

    We can't just be done with religion, argues David Dark. The fact of religion is the fact of us. Religion is the witness of everything we're up to—for better or worse. 
     
     
     
    David Dark is one of today's most respected thinkers, public intellectuals, and cultural critics at the intersection of faith and culture. Since its original release, Dark's Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious has become essential reading for those engaged in the conversation on religion in contemporary American society. Now, Dark returns to his classic text and offers us a revised, expanded, and reframed edition that reflects a more expansive understanding, employs inclusive language, and tackles the most pressing issues of the day. 
     
     
     
    With the same keen powers of cultural observation, candor, and wit audiences have come to know and love, Dark weaves in current themes around the pandemic and vaccine responses, Black Lives Matter, the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements, critical race theory, and more. By looking intentionally at our weird religious background (we all have one), he helps us acknowledge the content of our everyday existence—the good, the bad, and the glaringly inconsistent. When we make peace with the idea of being religious, we can more practically envision an undivided life.

    Designed to Fail - How Modern...

    What if the systems we rely on don’t just fail to solve societal problems, but are designed to perpetuate them? If the very things that make life meaningful—well-being, human connection, and stability—are sacrificed to uphold fragile economic structures, is life within these systems truly worth living? When health declines, relationships fracture, and communities dissolve, what remains? 
    Uncovering the hidden mechanics of the crisis economy, this book reveals how manufactured crises fuel economic growth, turning fear, division, and instability into the most valuable commodities. It explores how industries sustain themselves not by solving problems, but by ensuring they never truly disappear. From the processed food industry to digital isolation, media-driven polarization, and pharmaceutical dependence, systemic instability isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature of the modern economic model. 
    Beyond exposing the problem, this book asks whether an alternative is possible. Can ethical industry scale without being consumed by the system it seeks to challenge? How can modern technologies like AI and blockchain be harnessed to ensure integrity? Can individuals reclaim autonomy in a world designed to keep them in a perpetual state of anger and uncertainty? And if ethical industry is achievable, can it meaningfully reduce the suffering embedded in the systems that sustain it, or is profit through human hardship an unavoidable reality? 
    This book doesn’t just expose these systems—it challenges the individual to look within, reclaim their agency, and recognize their ability to chip away at the structures of suffering, generating small but powerful ripples of positive change that may one day shape a brighter future. 
    For those seeking to understand the quiet, systemic degeneration of modern societies, this book is your starting point.

    Featuring a new introduction by Ken Liu, this revised edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s first full-length collection of essays covers her background as a writer and educator, her thoughts on writing, and her commentary on literary science fiction and fantasy and their future. 
     
    “We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night.”—URSULA K. Le GUIN 
     
    Le Guin’s sharp and witty voice is on full display in this collection of twenty-four essays, revised by the author a decade after its initial publication in 1979. The collection covers a wide range of topics and Le Guin’s origins as a writer, her advocacy for science fiction and fantasy as mediums for true literary exploration, the writing of her own major works such as A Wizard of Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness, and her role as a public intellectual and educator. The book and each thematic section are brilliantly introduced and contextualized by Susan Wood, a professor at the University of British Columbia and a literary editor and feminist activist during the 1960s and ’70s. 
     
    A fascinating, intimate look into the exceptional mind of Le Guin, whose insights remain as relevant and resonant today as when they were first published.
