Paranoid administrators, interdepartmental feuds, quirky staff members, and an eccentric headmaster: welcome to Winston Grant High School.

Mark Patterson has a master’s degree in physics, wants to do nothing more than surf and ski, and believes that high school teaching will be the cushy job of his dreams. He receives a rude awakening when he becomes a physics teacher at Winston Grant, a begrudging little brother amidst rival private school heavyweights.

From the outset, Mark must tiptoe through a virtual minefield of Procrustean rules, coddling parents, scheming colleagues, and, of course, teen-aged students.

Things don’t go well, inside or outside the classroom. His students call him Mr. Goofegg. His football team is pathetic. His lunch-table kids behave like Neanderthals. His teaching supervisor, aka the “education implementation strategist,” criticizes him for using equations. His colleagues have even organized a betting pool for when he will get fired.

And when Mark discovers that a weak student in his class is a physics genius, he finds himself caught in the middle of a conflict between father and son, a conflict which could destroy the young man’s potential. Or help Mark find his.

Track Changes: The Origin Story of Canadian Music on the Internet (1990–2010) is the first book of its kind to document a cultural revolution in Canada, one now buried under broken URLs, corrupted hard drives, and discarded cell phones.

Long before streaming services, viral hits, AI, and social media, the internet was already reshaping Canadian music. Spanning two pivotal decades, this book chronicles this transformation.

Track Changes covers the rise of mailing lists, BBS communities, fan-built websites, MP3 blogs, e-commerce platforms, digital radio stations, music news websites, and other innovations that completely changed how artists reach audiences and how fans discover music. It also explores how the internet contributed to the collapse of major Canadian retailers, music magazines, mass market radio, and other corners of Canada’s cultural infrastructure.

Drawing on original interviews, archival research, and vivid first-hand accounts, Track Changes tells the story of the early digital pioneers, artists, entrepreneurs, label heads, bloggers, and fans who used fledgling online tools to build communities, grow businesses, and shape careers. All this was done at a time when the internet’s impact was still very much TBD.

Not Improving on Our Instructions calls the Christian church to return to its primary task and purpose, as outlined in the Gospels, Acts, and the New Testament Letters. In a series of sermons, Edmund Neufeld reflects on Christ’s instructions to his followers and addresses this central question: What is the one most important thing for the church to do?

Years of pastoring and teaching have left Neufeld convinced that the most important thing that Christ has left his church to do is to love one another. He leads readers on a journey of rediscovering the heart of the gospel—practical, unifying love within the body of Christ. It is this love, faithfully lived out in community, that will draw nonbelievers to the gospel.

Not Improving on Our Instructions may change your assumptions about righteousness, your neighbour, and what it means to be great in the kingdom—but it won’t change your instructions. God urges his people to rise to their calling and be his new society.

The seal weakens. The Arcanus stirs.

Elrith and his companions race to recover the final Element Artifacts, the only hope of sealing the Nexus and halting Soleena’s ascent into godlike tyranny. From cursed islands and collapsing sanctuaries to a volcano shrouded in ash and fire, their path is riddled with sacrifice and ancient magic.

Now, in the climactic conclusion to her long and terrible scheme, her armies converge on Alderhaven and the world teeters on the edge of unraveling. The fate of Atherin rests on one final confrontation.

Allies gather, magic surges, and the cost of failure grows steep. To stop the rise of the Arcanus, they must risk everything … even the very threads of time.

"Le caporal N. D. Robson (Stormin Norman), des North Nova Scotia Highlander, a reçu un nouveau paveur à Fort Moore (anciennement Benning) le 26 mai 2025. Il est le seul paveur non américain sur la promenade du patrimoine au Musée National de l'Infanterie.”

Une histoire vraie sur un vétéran canadien de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, soldat d’artillerie et héros, qui a connu PLUS !

PLUS de souffrance en grandissant dans un foyer marqué par le trouble de stress post-traumatique (TSPT), causé par un beau-père vétéran de la Première Guerre mondiale, blessé par des gaz toxiques.

PLUS d’errance et de sans-abrisme après avoir fugué à l’âge tendre de 13 ans pour fuir les violences parentales imprévisibles.

PLUS de service actif que le général américain George S. Patton, icône nationale et général cinq étoiles, après que Stormin Norman se soit enrôlé à 16 ans pour rejoindre le tristement célèbre régiment des North Nova Scotia Highlanders, également appelés les North Novas.

Stormin Norman a combattu lors de quatre grandes batailles contre les Allemands, qui ont à jamais changé le cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et l’histoire. Il a été gravement blessé à deux reprises en affrontant les nazis. Incroyablement, et contre l’avis du médecin chargé de le démobiliser, il s’est réengagé après sa sortie de l’hôpital pour combattre les Japonais dans les jungles de Birmanie.

Voici l’histoire inspirante et intime de Stormin Norman, racontée par son fier fils canadien, David N. Robson.

To every woman who has endured what should have broken her.

Time,

that strange and tender animal,

softened the sharpest edges.

And I, weary of holding

only the wound,

began to turn the blade into a mirror.

In What Remains After the Fire, Maki Motapanyane gently explores themes of rupture, survival, and the quiet work of reassembling the self, drawing on her personal experience to peel back the layers of time, memory, and healing for readers.

Motapanyane's poems are not memoir, but they are true, gathered into four arcs: Wound, Return, Kin, and Sanctum. Each poem is shaped by Motapanyane’s life as a daughter, mother, survivor, and scholar, as she makes sense of the world from within its deep contradictions.

Life Lesson

If your spouse or a few people are telling you or indicating to you in any way that you have a problem, you probably have a problem.

I really want you to grasp this because it’s too easy to just keep reading. But if you miss this, you miss everything this old guy is trying to help you understand, so read it again! Spend a few minutes letting the words sink in, and really dig into that statement, so you fully understand how important this time is for your personal growth.

If someone were to ask five people who know you well—and their answers would remain anonymous to you—to divulge what they see as your weakest traits, what do you think they would say? Oh, baby! That is such a good question.

You have weaknesses and you likely know what they are, but you haven't really questioned yourself as to why you are the way you are in certain ways. This book will help you to take the time necessary to really focus on you. It will ask very imposing questions. It will help to identify and pull those weaknesses out of their hiding places deep within your soul. This book will give you some insight into why you need to make changes and also give you some structured suggestions that will hopefully give you the strength required to become a better, happier human being.

It took me a long time to realize I need fixing, even longer to realize nobody else can fix me. I came to the realization I couldn’t fix someone else. It was a big day—or many days—for me. I’ll explain those days in this book because they changed my life and enabled me to begin to fix myself.

The primary reason I decided to write the book is because I thought possibly my learnings will help you decide earlier in your life to make better decisions. Life confronts us with a tremendous number of decisions, and my hope is that my book will help you realize that you have areas that need fixing. Maybe not a lot of fixing, but we all have flaws and faults that we know about. Only you can change you.
