  Train travel is having a renaissance. Grand old routes that had been canceled, or were moldering in neglect, have been refurbished as destinations in themselves. The Rocky Mountaineer, the Orient Express, and the Trans-Siberian Railroad run again in all their glory. 
  		 
  Pamela Mulloy has always loved train travel. Whether returning to the Maritimes every year with her daughter on the Ocean, or taking her family across Europe to Poland, trains have been a linchpin of her life. As COVID locked us down, Mulloy began an imaginary journey that recalled the trips she has taken, as well as those of others. Whether it was Mary Wollstonecraft traveling alone to Sweden in the late 1700s, or the incident that had Charles Dickens forever fearful of trains, or the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt trapped in her carriage in a midwestern blizzard in the 1890s, or Sir John A. Macdonald’s wife daring to cross the Rockies tied to the cowcatcher at the front of the train, the stories explore the odd mix of adventure and contemplation that travel permits. 
  		 
  Thoughtful, observant, and fun, Off the Tracks is the perfect blend of research and personal experience that, like a good train ride, will whisk you into another world.

  Summer, Year-Round… On the Moon is a gripping exploration of humanity’s boldest leap yet—creating life where none existed before. Combining cutting-edge science with visionary engineering, this book takes readers to the Moon, where builder bots and high-intensity heat generators transform the barren lunar surface into a thriving off-world resort. From extracting water and producing hydrogen to crafting tunnels and domes beneath the Moon’s crust, the narrative captures the awe and challenges of turning ambition into reality. As domes rise and oxygen flows, new questions emerge: What is the cost of taming a world that never belonged to us? Blending science fiction with real-world possibilities, the story highlights humanity’s resilience, ingenuity, and the delicate balance between progress and respect for the unknown. With themes of collaboration, survival, and the desire to thrive beyond Earth, Summer, Year-Round… On the Moon is a thrilling testament to both the power and fragility of human ambition.

  The Bargain Paradise -...

  An economical dwelling is a home designed with cost-efficiency in mind, blending affordability, functionality, and sustainability. The concept of such a dwelling goes beyond simply being cheap; it involves thoughtful design choices that minimize expenses while maintaining comfort and quality of life. At its core, an economical dwelling aims to reduce the financial burden on its owner without sacrificing the essential aspects of a well-built home. 
  The primary objective of an economical dwelling is to make housing accessible and affordable for a broader population, particularly in an age when housing prices continue to rise in many parts of the world. However, affordability doesn’t mean compromising on the livability or durability of the dwelling. Instead, it highlights the importance of smart choices in materials, space utilization, and design. In such a home, the cost-saving methods employed are balanced with long-term benefits, such as reduced maintenance costs, lower energy consumption, and sustainability. 
  The idea of an economical dwelling often intersects with the broader concepts of sustainable and green living. Sustainable practices focus not only on reducing construction costs but also on minimizing the environmental impact of the home. For instance, energy-efficient designs, the use of recycled materials, and incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines all contribute to the overall affordability by reducing ongoing living expenses. In addition to these eco-friendly features, the use of minimalistic designs and efficient layouts helps make the best use of available space, which also keeps building costs lower.
