    In Occult Diseases: A Review of Unbalance, Manly P. Hall turns his penetrating insight toward the hidden roots of human suffering. More than a study of physical or mental illness, this rare essay—originally published in The All-Seeing Eye—investigates the spiritual and psychological disorders that arise when harmony is broken between the soul, mind, and body. Hall reveals how ignorance, selfishness, and emotional extremes generate destructive vibrations that can manifest as disease, imbalance, and inner decay. He outlines not only the causes of occult affliction but also the principles of restoration: discipline, clarity, virtue, and alignment with higher truth. 
    This is not a medical manual—it is a guide for the soul's hygiene.

    Social problems are complex issues that affect individuals, communities, and societies on a broad scale. They arise when a significant number of people recognize a condition as harmful and in need of change. Social problems can range from economic inequality and racial discrimination to climate change and healthcare disparities. Understanding these issues from a sociological perspective allows for a deeper analysis of their causes, consequences, and potential solutions. 
    One of the key aspects of understanding social problems is recognizing that they are socially constructed. This means that what is considered a problem can vary across different societies, cultures, and historical periods. For example, while issues like poverty and crime are widely recognized as social problems, their definitions and solutions may differ depending on cultural norms, political ideologies, and economic conditions. Sociologists examine how these definitions change over time and how power dynamics influence which issues receive public attention and policy action. 
    Another crucial factor in understanding social problems is identifying their root causes. Many social problems are not isolated incidents but rather symptoms of deeper structural issues within society. Economic inequality, for instance, is often linked to factors such as wage disparities, lack of access to education, and systemic discrimination. Similarly, crime rates may be influenced by socioeconomic conditions, community resources, and the effectiveness of law enforcement policies. By looking beyond individual behaviors and examining broader social structures, sociologists aim to uncover the fundamental reasons why these problems persist.

    “Woman, Watching is an entrancing blend of biography, memoir, history, research, and homage that is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s radical, it’s ravishing.” — Kyo Maclear, author of Birds Art Life
    		 
    From award-winning author Merilyn Simonds, a remarkable biography of an extraordinary woman — a Swedish aristocrat who survived the Russian Revolution to become an internationally renowned naturalist, one of the first to track the mid-century decline of songbirds.
    		 
    Referred to as a Canadian Rachel Carson, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence lived and worked in an isolated log cabin near North Bay. After her husband was murdered by Bolsheviks, she refused her Swedish privilege and joined the Canadian Red Cross, visiting her northern Ontario patients by dogsled. When Elzire Dionne gave birth to five babies, Louise became nurse to the Dionne Quintuplets. Repulsed by the media circus, she retreated to her wilderness cabin, where she devoted herself to studying the birds that nested in her forest. Author of six books and scores of magazine stories, de Kiriline Lawrence and her “loghouse nest” became a Mecca for international ornithologists.
    		 
    Lawrence was an old woman when Merilyn Simonds moved into the woods not far away. Their paths crossed, sparking Simonds’s lifelong interest. A dedicated birder, Simonds brings her own songbird experiences from Canadian nesting grounds and Mexican wintering grounds to this deeply researched, engaging portrait of a uniquely fascinating woman.

    A poignant meditation on mortality from a beloved Canadian poet
    		 
    A writer friend once pointed out that whenever Stuart Ross got close to something heavy and “real” in a poem, a hamburger would inevitably appear for comic relief. In this hybrid essay/memoir/poetic meditation, Ross shoves aside the heaping plate of burgers to wrestle with what it means to grieve the people one loves and what it means to go on living in the face of an enormous accumulation of loss. Written during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after the sudden death of his brother left him the last living member of his family and as a catastrophic diagnosis meant anticipating the death of his closest friend, this meditation on mortality — a kind of literary shiva — is Ross’s most personal book to date. More than a catalogue of losses, The Book of Grief and Hamburgers is a moving act of resistance against self-annihilation and a desperate attempt to embrace all that was good in his relationships with those most dear to him.
