  Canada must prepare for an isolationist and unpredictable neighbor to the South should a MAGA leader gain the White House in 2025. 
   
   
   
  The American-led global order has been increasingly challenged by Chinese assertiveness and Russian revanchism. As we enter this new era of great-power competition, Canadians tend to assume that the United States will continue to provide global leadership for the West. 
   
   
   
  Canada Alone sketches the more dystopian future that is likely to result if the illiberal, anti-democratic, and authoritarian Make America Great Again movement regains power. Under the twin stresses of a reinvigorated America First policy and the purposeful abandonment of American global leadership, the West will likely fracture, leaving Canadians all alone with an increasingly dysfunctional United States. Canada Alone outlines what Canadians will need to navigate this deeply unfamiliar post-American world.

  'Harpy is a tonic; a tongue-in-cheek manual for dealing with Spanish Inquisition-style questioning about saying pass to procreation and building an enriching life beyond the nuclear family' VOGUE
  
  
  'Harpy made me nod in recognition, and shake my head with sorrow, and then it made me laugh out loud' EMILIE PINE, author of NOTES TO SELF and RUTH & PEN
  'Defiant, funny and inspiring' SEÁN HEWITT, author of ALL DOWN DARKNESS WIDE
  
  Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.
  
  In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life, while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.

  Athenian Agora and Roman Forum...

  Editors Charles River

  The center of political and commercial interaction in the Ancient Greek polis was the agora. The word essentially means a gathering place or an open space, and in all Greek city states, the agora was central to all aspects of daily life and commerce. As the agora developed as a civic space, particularly from the 6th century BCE onward in Athens, the architectural splendor of the buildings associated with it became an ever more obvious demonstration of the power and glory of Athenian democracy. In its earliest forms, an agora in maritime cities was invariably situated near the sea, while in inland urban centers, it was usually located at the foot of the hill that normally provided the city’s ultimate defense. The agora was always the oldest part of any city and, as such, and as well as being the commercial hub of the area, also became the center of the religious and political life of the polis. In Homer’s time, an agora might have seats for the comfort of the citizens that had assembled to consult with one another. The city’s oldest sanctuaries were always located either in or very close to the agora itself, and the first festive games were held in its open space.  
  The Roman Empire is the most famous in history, and the center of the far-reaching empire’s activities was located in the Forum, a low area between the Capitoline and Palatine hills in Rome. The topography held a great deal of significance for Romans, and consequently so many layers of myth were laid on top of the landscape and buildings that it is difficult to separate legend from actual historical fact. As a low-lying area near the Tiber river, the Forum was subject to much flooding, and even into the 20th century, the Forum area could flood upwards of over 40 feet above sea level. This would factor significantly in the imagination of Romans, who later ascribed the flooding with saving the city’s founders, Romulus and Remus, from execution.

  Autism - Insights into the...

  This book is for anyone who wants to better understand autism, from parents and teachers to employers, friends, and individuals on the spectrum themselves. Each chapter provides insights into specific aspects of autism, such as communication, sensory processing, and emotional regulation, offering practical tips for creating supportive environments in homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. Additionally, we’ll explore ways to build strong support systems, nurture social connections, and empower neurodivergent individuals to advocate for themselves and their needs. 
    
  As we delve into autism, we also examine the importance of neurodiversity—the idea that neurological differences, like autism, are natural variations of the human experience rather than deficits. Embracing neurodiversity means fostering a culture of acceptance, where we value and accommodate these differences rather than expecting everyone to fit the same mold. 
    
  Through greater understanding, empathy, and awareness, we can foster a society that not only accepts autism but celebrates the diverse perspectives and skills it brings. This journey requires an open mind, a compassionate heart, and a commitment to making our world more inclusive. As you read, I hope this book inspires you to appreciate the richness of the autism spectrum and to play a part in creating a future where neurodiversity is recognized and embraced.

  Bite Club - Real-life attacks by...

  It’s a trauma like no other. 
  Being perceived as a threat or, worse, hunted as food makes an animal attack a unique ordeal. Suddenly you’re helpless, at its mercy. When an animal strikes it is lightning fast, determined and can’t be reasoned with. Often brutally violent, such an attack can leave horrific injuries, both physical and emotional that endure long after the encounter. 
  Whether it’s a great white shark, a bear, lion, or other deadly predator, the impact such attacks can have on the victim, their families, the communities, and the wider human psyche is often profound and enduring. And when you add the media attention that such incidents often attract, the actual bite might not be the only attack a survivor has to endure. 
  In Bite Club, we meet brave people from around the world who have come face to face with sharks or other deadly predators and lived to tell the tale. And we learn of the group of survivors who are supporting each other to navigate, recover and grow from what is for many, their most traumatic experience ever.
