    Read by the author, Tom Lathan.In Lost Wonders author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the powerful stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century.Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years – a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth – from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies – Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, Lost Wonders is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.

    Trading is often painted as a world of numbers, algorithms, and quick decisions. But behind the charts and tickers lies something much deeper—the mind of the trader. I have written The Smart Trader to explore this often overlooked aspect of trading, where psychology, discipline, and emotion meet strategy, risk, and execution. 
    Over the years, I’ve met countless traders who knew all the right strategies, had all the technical tools at their disposal, and yet, struggled to make consistent profits. Why? Because trading is not just about understanding the markets. It’s about understanding yourself. Success in trading is rooted in mastering your emotions, managing your impulses, and remaining disciplined through uncertainty. 
    This book is divided into two parts, each designed to guide you through this complex world. The first half focuses on the psychological principles that every trader must embrace—discipline, patience, risk management, and mindfulness. These traits are not only necessary for survival in the market but also for long-term success. 
    The second half transitions into the technical side of trading, where I explore the strategies that work in real-time intraday markets. But I won’t just be presenting these in a dry, technical manner. You’ll learn through the journeys of Bill, Elon, Steve, and Jeff—traders who each have their strengths and flaws, just like all of us. Their experiences are meant to be relatable, and through them, you’ll see how psychology and strategy blend together in the fast-paced world of derivatives and crypto trading. 
    Thank you for picking up The Smart Trader. Let’s begin the adventure.

    Canada and Climate Change

    Pandemics, massive earthquakes, war, and other catastrophes inspire immediate action because their casualties and destruction are immediately visible. Climate change is an unyielding problem because its long-range dangers are hidden, and thus it is a global risk unlike anything in human experience
    		 
    The federal government recently announced aggressive climate targets for Canada. We have committed to producing net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which will require major changes for our economy and way of life. Canadian citizens need to understand why our most distinguished climate scientists and our senior political leaders think that we must meet this target. Canada and Climate Change explains the importance of policies that will ensure we meet the net-zero emissions target. William Leiss provides a firm grasp on what climate change is and how scientists have described shifts in the earth’s climate as they have occurred over hundreds of millions of years and as they are likely to occur in the near future, especially by the end of this century.
    		 
    Leiss argues that citizens have a right to place their trust in what climate scientists tell us. Canada and Climate Change is an essential primer on where we stand on the issue of climate change in Canada and what will unfold in the years ahead.
