  NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2020 (BLOOMBERG) 
  An urgent and informed look at the challenges America and world governments will face in a post Covid-19 world. 
  The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed that governments matter again, that competent leadership is the difference between living and dying. A few governments proved adept at handling the crisis while many others failed. Are Western governments healthy and strong enough to keep their citizens safe from another virulent virus—and protect their economies from collapse? Is global leadership passing from the United States to Asia—and particularly China?  
  The Wake-Up Call addresses these urgent questions. Journalists and longtime collaborators John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge identify the problems Western leaders face, and outline a detailed plan to help them become more vigilant, better prepared, and responsive to disruptive future events.  
  The problems that face us are enormous; as The Wake-Up Call makes clear, governments around the world must re-engineer the way they operate to successfully meet the challenges ahead.

  Unruly Desires - American...

  In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

  Welcome to a poet's introspective world of jubilance and turbulence, where life's cresting waves of love, grief, and rebirth collide with the profound power of poetry. 
  In Just Leaves, Lauren Best offers confessional glimpses into a deeply personal odyssey, unraveling the intricate threads of identity, creativity, and the human experience. With quirky candour, Best's immersive reflections celebrate the complexities that define us all. 
  Bringing vibrancy to the depths of personal growth and discovery, she invites listeners inwards to feel the emotional resonance of language: "We all know words are arrows we have felt in our hearts". Through thoughtfully crafted contemplation and playful exploration, Best unveils a fierce tenderness that fuels her artistry, motherhood, and pursuit of balance in an era that craves vulnerability. 
  While still recovering from profound loss and trauma, Best was chosen to be Owen Sound's Poet Laureate (2017-2019) and began creating the poems in this collection. As she traversed the complexities of her own life story, her tenure became a transformative exploration of self, power, and the healing force of poetry. Exploring sound and lyrical storytelling, these poems build on her work as a musician and songwriter. The words rhythmically pulse, swaying from intellectual to sensory. 
  Evocative language drips with sensual longing, entwining embodied motion and emotion both viscerally and visually. The impact of words cascades through the audiobook, connecting experiences across time to braid together the nostalgic past, raw and precious present, and effervescent glow of an optimistic future. 
  Perfect for poetry enthusiasts and newcomers, especially those who love the works of Anne Michaels and Mary Oliver. 
  Embark on an unforgettable journey guided by a distinctive Canadian voice, offering a front-row seat to savour the extraordinary and appreciate the familiar with heartfelt wonder.
