  Dick Foth can’t stop telling stories. He's been making sense of life through story since he first realized words could become sentences. Now, after eight decades, friends have finally convinced Foth to record the stories he loves to tell in the way he loves to tell them: to a live audience. Stories I Love to Tell became a reality one evening at the Capital Turnaround in Washington, D.C.—a setting for some of Foth’s greatest adventures. And now you are invited into the audience, to find reasons for hope, courage to face hard things, and stories that bring us back together. Our brains are wired for and by story. Memories live in stories; relationships flourish there; identity is shaped there. Values ripen, and belonging is found across generations—around campfires and dinner tables—when moments turn into stories.Why listen to someone else’s stories? If it’s true that every human being somehow reflects God—and Foth believes it is—then maybe stories are the mirrors between every family, tribe, and person on planet Earth. In other words, it’s our stories that give our relationships a chance.Foth especially loves childhood stories, “because when I tell a story from my childhood, it reveals who I am. It is the lens through which I see my world.” As you listen to Stories I Love to Tell, you will see your own world more clearly. You will find yourself thinking, dreaming, and even feeling like a child again. There will be greater heroes to follow, deeper joys to discover, and even more of yourself to see. Foth’s low, kind, and rumbling voice constantly reminds us of the people who care for us, cheer us on, and—almost without our knowing it—become the heroes of the stories we, too, will love to tell. Enjoy!

  Jin Dynasty - Northern Warriors...

  The Jurchens, the ancestors of the Manchu people, emerged as a formidable force in northeastern Asia long before they established the Jin Dynasty. Originating from the forests and plains of Manchuria, they were a collection of semi-nomadic and agricultural tribes with a distinct culture, language, and way of life. Their society was organized into clans led by chieftains, and they engaged in hunting, fishing, and farming while maintaining a warrior tradition that would later define their military prowess. Although they lived independently, they often found themselves under the influence of stronger neighboring powers, including the Korean kingdoms and the Khitan-led Liao Dynasty. 
  The Liao Dynasty, which dominated much of northern China and Manchuria, exerted control over the Jurchens for centuries. The Khitan rulers forced them into a tributary system, requiring them to provide labor, furs, and horses in exchange for nominal autonomy. While this arrangement allowed the Jurchens to retain aspects of their culture, it also placed them in a subordinate position. However, resentment grew among the Jurchen clans, who viewed the Khitan overlords as oppressive rulers. This growing dissatisfaction set the stage for their eventual rebellion. 
  Despite their subjugation, the Jurchens developed a strong warrior tradition and mastered cavalry warfare, which would later give them an advantage over their adversaries. They organized themselves into tribal confederations and honed their skills in archery and horseback combat, making them formidable in battle. Their ability to adapt to different terrains, combined with their knowledge of the harsh northern climate, allowed them to maintain resilience and independence, even under Liao control. Over time, they also adopted elements of Chinese and Khitan governance, learning valuable administrative techniques that would later aid them in state-building.

  East West - A Guide to Where...

  Let's say you want to know which famous Canadian poet lived in the Waverley Hotel for seven years, constantly changing rooms in fear of RCMP bugs. Or you live at 44 Walmer and want to know what on earth they were thinking with those balconies. Or you want to know what's behind (or underneath!) that giant O hanging over Harbord at Spadina. These things were troubling us, too, so we assembled East/West: A Guide to Where People Live in Downtown Toronto.
     
  East/West is a guided tour of old stories and fresh perspectives on the architecture and planning of housing and urban development in central Toronto – including both success stories and perennial problems. With specially prepared maps and over 120 photos, and essays – written by 65 of our best architects, historians and planners – exploring the history and development of neighbourhoods and of the individual buildings within them, East/West is a portrait of Toronto like no other.
     
  East/West is not your average city guide. It'll take you down alleyways you've never heard of, show you buildings you've never seen, offer you that bit of history you've never been able to access. It tells you how Toronto has tried to house the homeless over the years, how the waterfront evolved (or devolved, depending on how you look at it), and the character of different neighbourhoods has changed. FromAnnex abodes to Rosedale residences, this book will introduce you to a Toronto you only thought you knew.
