Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Inner City Books, 2003. 160 pp. Index. Sewn. Contemporary Western culture is seeking a new paradigm of manliness relevant to both men and women, at all stages of life. More and more we question the models provided by our personal and collective fathers. We have been trapped in too narrow a definition of the masculine. We are ready for a new one, one that does not diminish the essence of maleness, but is also broader than the too-pervasive limits of toughness, defensiveness, rigidity, rationality and aggression. Our very survival may depend on growing into a broader sense of the masculine: one that welcomes equal partnership with women, lifting from them the burden of hiding their own fullness of character so as not to intimidate the men around them or be the targets of their aggression; one that encourages the growth of the new generation, the new idea, the new crop, the new art, with the confidence of understanding that none of them can emerge without receptive fathering. An enlarged concept of masculinity is the promise of this most engaging book. See also titles .. Reprint. Original Wraps. NEW. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Welcome to a future world only heartbeats from our own. By the late 22nd century, the Great Recession of the early 2000s has lead to a worldwide police state. A ruined United States barely functions. Government control masks chaos, dissenters are sent to camps, and technology is outlawed. War rages while the authorities proclaim the Great Peace. Its New York City on the eve of nuclear Armageddon. Join Eliana and Jeremy as they begin a quest to save two doomed planets . . . and find each other. TESTIMONIALS: Another Sandy Nathan classic! Aldous Huxley meets Orson Scott Card in this sci-fi thriller with political undertones. If Nathan had written a 300-page non-fiction polemic onnuclear non-proliferation, rising sea levels, and governmentmedia censorship, I might have learned as much, but it wouldnt have been the page-turner that is The Angel. Nathan Fisher, MBA Stanford Graduate School of Business Sandy Nathan is a talented writer with a gift for creating multi-layered characters and putting them in do-or-die situations. In The Angel and The Brown-Eyed Boy, Ms. Nathan introduces us to a dark Earth of the future where humans have surrendered all freedoms to total government control in order to live in peace. Now a secret from the past threatens to annihilate all life on the planet. Survival--of a sort--can come only from an extraterrestrial angel and the boy she has loves. But only if they can act in time. Captivating from the first page onward, this entertaining tale will draw readers in and keep them riveted. Highly recommended. L. C. Evans, author of Talented HorsewomanA good book elicits an emotional response while being read; Nathans book haunts the reader long after the final page is turned. In Angel and the Brown-Eyed Boy two dying worlds fight for survival, their futures dependent on a revolutionary and an angelic otherworldly dancer. Nathan shows us a future Earth whose indifferent citizens and uneducated politicians have allowed their fears to rule them believing everything they are told even in the face of the reality around them. It is a world not that many heartbeats away from our own, making the premise chilling. Is there hope Yes, Jeremy and Eliana are the key. But to what end Future volumes of the tale will tell. Todd A.

SYNOPSIS: Out of the tensions and conflicts of human will and imagination, stubborn geography and powerful economic forces, an instrument was fashioned for bridging the Canadian Shield, the longest transportation system of its kind in the world. Trans-Canada Pipe Lines was in many ways unique: from its pioneering technology to the controversial solution which at last made the pipeline possible. At the climax of its story lay the most dramatic series of events to occur in Canadian political history between the Second World War and Quebec's Quiet Revolution. That wild month in the House of Commons, from May Day to Black Friday, 1956, triggered the unthinkable: the destruction of an old regime that seemed as if it would last forever, and the fall of its titan, Clarence Decatur Howe. "While this book attempts to illuminate the chief issues and characters in Trans-Canada's history and the interplay among them," writes Dr. Kilbourn in his preface, "it is not an analysis of any one of them. The aim is to present a clear reconstruction of a complex event with as much objectivity as a decade's distance in time and access to the relevant sources can give it." Along the way, Pipeline probes some of the classic issues of Canada's survival as a nation: the debate between north-south Continentalism and east-west nationalism; the questions of control and exploitation of natural resources; federal-provincial relations; public versus private enterprise; and the place of popular feelings, pressure groups and the press in decision-making on issues of national importance. Many of the prominent public figures of the 1950s are involved in this history. Besides the leading politicians and public servants in Ottawa, the Trans-Canada affair involved four of the most powerful provincial premiers in Canadian history-Manning, Frost, Duplessis and Douglas; a dozen of Canada's most important businessmen; such Texas and Alberta oil tycoons as Clint Murchison and Frank McMahon; and a cast of characters ranging from Dwight Eisenhower and Dean Acheson to Allan Lamport and Jean Drapeau. William Kilbourn took his B.A. in History at Toronto, an M.A. at Oxford and a PH.D. at Harvard. In 1962 he became first chairman of Humanities at York University where he is presently teaching. His historical writings include an award-winning biography, The Firebrand; a business and social history, The Elements Combined; and an illustrated history of Canada, The Making of the Nation. A contributor to such works as The Canadians, The New Romans and The Literary History of Canada, he has also edited an anthology about the Canadian identity, Guide to the Peaceable Kingdom. A former CBC drama critic, a member of the Isaacs Gallery Ensemble and of the editorial boards of Canadian Forum and Tamarack Review, he was elected in 1969 as an Alderman to the Toronto city council.. First Edition 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., Clarke, Irwin & Company Limited, 1970, Xlibris Corporation. Paperback. New. Paperback. 256 pages. Dimensions: 8.9in. x 6.0in. x 1.0in.Of Human Misery is for the most part, a romance, sprinkled with several love triangles, flavored by a few tabooed subjects and laced with the quest for undying passion that is yearned for in every life. The book revolves around one main heroine and the many struggles she faces in her lifetime. She is someone who desperately searches for happiness, however constant obstacles seem to always impede her path. Like many of the greatest love stories throughout history, all legendary romances need tragedy and separation, heartache and pain, and of course love, to fully capture a readers attention. The lead character, Shanna Somers, seeks affection and acceptance above all else and strives to find it in everyone she meets. This novel is set in many locales, from Nashville, Tennessee to New York City and Los Angeles. The character also ventures to Canada, The Orient, The Caribbean, Europe and Africa to make the story complete. Our saga envelopes all that is expected of a modern-day romance novel and produces a paramount of true love and a faithful love that challenges all time. The story provides the most useful insights into the human condition. . . the anguish of loneliness and the agonizing ecstacy of heartbreak. If nothing else can be said about this piece of work it would be that it is a rare, yet dignified passionate portrait of a woman and her many challenges. These are challenges which encompass grief, heartache and a willingness to survive that is incomparable. I would like to introduce you to the first novel in a series. . . Of Human Misery.

Dimensions: 8.5in. x 5.5in. x 0.6in.Brad Fregger, futurist, businessman, author, professor, international speaker, publisher, father, grandfather, and soon to be great grandfather, shares his solutions for many of the worlds global crises. I havent seen many reasonable solutions coming from those in charge, its time the rest of us let them know what we think. The world my great grandchild will inherit depends on the decisions we make (or refuse to make) today. I feared the future, feared my childrens world, the outcome of the massive changes taking place in our country. My imagination runs wild with visions of the breakdown of society, millions dead and dying, cities empty and decaying, our way of life gone for centuries. The future like a steamroller rushes madly downhill no one at the controls. Doubt and fear of things to come still haunt me . As I move forward into the unknown, Hope beckons. Brad Fregger Is there hope Can we, as a society escape this pessimistic future and instead begin the century with hope and faith as we enter a new age of plenty, where the challenge of preserving our world and its ecology becomes a goal consistent with the survival of humanity and our way of life My Thinking Cap - Chapter 1 In the following chapters I will, at times, point an accusing finger at the media, because their fixation on bad news is creating a negative image of the future-in large part, the global crises we are experiencing are due to the stories being told. My Thinking Cap - Chapter 2 So, how do we become energy independent, . . . while minimizing pollution, especially carbon-based pollution, and creating an environment where individual choice is a commitment, business can thrive, and our nation can look forward to decades of socio-economic health My Thinking Cap - Chapter 3 . . . the belief that polar bears are endangered because of global warming is truly an ignorant belief . or, one held by those, with their own agendas, who are using the polar bear and spinning its story, in order to accomplish something else, . . . My Thinking Cap - Chapter 4 The idea that the United States is somehow not living up to its heritage of welcoming immigrants is very wrong; the United States is, in fact, continuing to be the most welcoming nation in the world. . . . accepting almost as many immigrants as the rest of the world combined. My Thinking Cap - Chapter 5 . . . from all appearances, the media sees only two choices, you are either a DarwinistAtheist or a Creationist. In other words, you either believe that God doesnt exist now and has never existed, or you believe that (God created the world) between 6000 and 10000 years ago. . . . There is no place for those of us who believe that something is going on that can only be explained by a conscious force in the Universe. We may not be able to define that force, but we have faith that it exists. My Thinking Cap - Chapter 6 This is a taste of what My THINKING CAP - Solutions for Global Crisis is all about. If youre concerned about any of these issues . . . this is a book you want read. Brads style of writing is entertaining and conversational, Ill never win a Pulitzer, but theres a real good chance that youll understand what Im trying to say.
