The McNair-Flemming Years, Volume 2
A Public Record of Uncertain Times, New Brunswick 1930-1960 by James G. Long
The McNair-Flemming Years Volume 2, relates a shift of influence by the print media. Newspaper reporting of peacetime events had always expressed a known degree of partisan views, but these suddenly became toxic. The result was a transition of political news from predictable to untrustworthy, to outrageous, and to propaganda. There was an evolution away from text-heavy political advertising based on achievements, to an emphasis on the personality of leadership. In his last public speech before the 1952 election, Premier J.B. McNair said with confidence: "integrity and honesty will win for the Liberal Party," and he was wrong! The image of Premier Hugh John Flemming 1952-1960, was carefully monitored by political campaign manager Dalton Camp, speechwriter Kenneth Carson, and PC Party bagman Ewart Atkinson. Party propaganda and priority news cycle coverage for the new premier, were maintained by Michael Wardell, the editor/owner of Fredericton's Daily Gleaner newspaper and the monthly periodical Atlantic Advocate. While his predecessor was challenged with significant international events, the affable, outgoing Mr. Flemming could concentrate on local events, his obsession with building of the Beechwood Dam, and his own self-promotion. He governed over a period of substantially increased debt, while holding fast to the belief that the path to prosperity was through increased Federal financial support.

Space Is Not Empty
How Hidden Fields Are Shaping Your Life and Our World by Alan Briskin and Mary V. Gelinas
Have you ever walked into a room and known immediately that something was off? Maybe your skin tingled or your stomach clenched, maybe you noticed how eyes were averted or chatter was strained. Or maybe the opposite was true and you were walking into a place of safety and comfort, where your breathing came more easily, your heart rate calmed, and your tension melted away. In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary book, Alan Briskin and Mary V. Gelinas weave together a combined eighty years of experience in social psychology, systems thinking, and contemplative practices to explain how fields influence us physically, emotionally, and intuitively—often without our conscious awareness. What if we could learn to pay attention to these fields that are operating in and around us, understand their messages, and use them to act more intentionally and compassionately? Discover how awareness of these dynamic spaces can help foster collaborative relationships, bridge social, political, and religious divides, and effect more constructive, meaningful and lasting change.

Savoured Moments
by Bailey Ennig
On June 25th, 2023, a single phone call marked the beginning of a harrowing journey. In just three weeks, Bailey Ennig’s world was irrevocably changed by the sudden loss of his father to cancer. Savoured Moments is a poetic graphic memoir born from Ennig's sketchbooks and journals kept during those weeks and beyond. It captures the raw reality of caregiving, the bittersweet humour found in hospital hallways, and the profound emptiness of saying goodbye. Through richly illustrated vignettes and candid reflections, Ennig transforms pain into art, honouring his father’s legacy while navigating waves of grief. This poignant work is both an intimate tribute and an invitation for readers to find connection through shared loss. Savoured Moments reminds us that amidst heartbreak, there are glimmers of hope, moments of levity, and opportunities to leave the world better than we found it—just as Ennig’s father always taught him. A story of love, loss, and healing, this book is for anyone who has faced the unimaginable and found the strength to carry on.
