Synopsis

Smell Through Evolution explores the fascinating world of olfaction and its evolutionary journey, detailing how the sense of smell has shaped the lives of diverse species. The book examines the molecular mechanisms driving olfaction, the evolutionary pressures influencing olfactory systems, and the resulting ecological impacts.

 
Did you know a salmon uses its sense of smell to return to its birthplace, or that subtle changes in olfactory receptors can significantly impact an organism's survival?

 
The book uniquely integrates molecular, neurobiological, and ecological perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of how olfaction has evolved across different lineages, from insects to mammals. Chapters delve into pheromone detection, predator avoidance, and the extraordinary olfactory abilities of migratory animals.

 
By connecting genomics, neuroscience, and ecology, Smell Through Evolution highlights the profound impact of sensory systems on evolution and the intricate interplay between genes, environment, and behavior.

    Made to Live depicts a physician’s journey to save lives. Dr. Paul Saba begins his story with the battle to save the life of his baby girl, Jessica, who was born with a severe congenital cardiac malformation. He describes the challenges of facing difficult diagnoses through both his personal experiences and those of his patients. This book debunks the myths of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba’s battle has taken him to the Canadian courts, where he has been silenced from challenging Canada’s euthanasia laws. He has been forbidden from utilizing the Canadian Constitution or presenting his arguments in court to oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba believes no one can know what the future holds. Hope and loving support can overcome many obstacles in life’s journey. In the end, we are all “made to live,” as his daughter Jessica inscribed on one of her paintings at seven years old.

    From the familiar to the improbable, the gross to the endearing, The Modern Bestiary is a compendium of curious creatures. It includes both animals that have made headlines and those you’ve probably never heard of, such as skin-eating  
    caecilians, harp sponges, or zombie worms—also known as bone-eating snot flowers.  
     
    Arranged by elements, Earth, Water and Air, The Modern Bestiary contains wellknown species told from new and unexpected angles (rats that drive cars; fish that communicate by passing wind), as well as stranger and lesser-known creatures  
    (including carnivorous mice that howl at the moon, cross-dressing cuttlefish, and antechinuses—small marsupials that literally mate themselves to death). Finally, there are the ‘aliens on Earth’—the incredible, the surreal, the magical—such as  
    tardigrades, tongue-eating lice and immortal jellyfish, creatures so astonishing that they make unicorns look rather commonplace. 
     
    Written by a zoologist with a flair for storytelling, this is a fascinating celebration of the animal kingdom.

    The story of the growth and destruction of Toronto's first 'priority neighbourhood.'
       
    From the 1840s until the Second World War, waves of newcomers who migrated to Toronto – Irish, Jewish, Italian, African American and Chinese, among others – landed in 'The Ward.' Crammed with rundown housing and immigrant-owned businesses, this area, bordered by College and Queen, University and Yonge streets, was home to bootleggers, Chinese bachelors, workers from the nearby Eaton';s garment factories and hard-working peddlers. But the City considered it a slum, and bulldozed the area in the late 1950s to make way for a new civic square.
       
    The Ward finally tells the diverse stories of this extraordinary and resilient neighbourhood through archival photos and contributions from a wide array of voices, including historians, politicians, architects, story-tellers, journalists and descendants of Ward residents. Their perspectives on playgrounds, tuberculosis, sex workers, newsies and even bathing bring The Ward to life and, in the process, raise important questions about how contemporary cities handle immigration, poverty and the geography of difference.
       
    ‘The Ward shines a light on one of Toronto's most historically significant and most forgotten neighbourhoods. Instead of a straight history, the book's editors opted to present the Ward through multiple short essays, each with its own unique point of view. The result is a fascinating and varied look at an area that once concurrently defined the city and acted as its biggest shame. As a result of the Ward's eventual razing, there are few artifacts left to teach newer generations about this important part of Toronto's history. This book helps correct that.’

    '[The Ward] should be of interest to Canadians anywhere, reminding us that we all came from some place else.'
