Walk With A Purpose
The John Volken Story From Dishwasher to Multi-Millionaire, Then Gave It All Away... by John Volken
Horatio Alger wrote in the nineteenth century about impoverished boys rising from humble backgrounds to lives of achievement through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. Alger should have met John Volken. He would have loved him, as many of us do. John’s story begins as a child in an orphanage in the Soviet Union occupied East Germany, it continues as a young man washing dishes for 25¢ an hour in Canada, and culminates with him amassing a fortune as a businessman… That is where the venerable American writer might have ended this story and where most men would have settled into a life of golf. But that’s exactly where the best and most exciting part of John Volken’s story begins… It’s all here, and then some! David Berner, TV Personality/Author Executive Director Drug Prevention Network of Canada

Unfinished
by John W. Galler
What if the majority of society simultaneously withdrew their cash and investments globally, and stopped working to collapse imperialist insanity? This would actually force the much needed attention and urgency to decide what we could become next. At some point, we have to evolve as a species. Should we still insist on the current chaos that we can't seem to escape, we could all return to as it was. Financial imperialism and religion can't be the best that self-aware humans can possibly filter. He asks: why be so blatantly mediocre? Instead of letting our current limitations go, author John W. Galler has decided to delve into them with unapologetic force. To help us understand what could be beyond, he expands to an exploration of our values, and the correlation between quantum physics and meditation. Nothing but our immediate actions can truly initiate personal and global change. So Unfinished is for anyone who knows that their internal world and the world at large needs a hard reset.

Dying For Gold
The True Story of the Giant Mine Murders by Lee Selleck and Francis Thompson
On September 18, 1992 a violent explosion deep in Yellowknife's Giant mine took the lives of nine miners. The men had defied the picket lines that were the scene of violent clashes between the mineworkers and company security forces during a long and bitter strike/lockout. Roger Warren, a veteran miner whose skills were legendary, was convicted of nine counts of murder, but his guilt is disputed to this day. In this stunning, updated 30th anniversary expose, journalists Lee Selleck and Francis Thompson tell the dramatic story behind this tragedy, the vast personal and political fallout, and the lessons that hold true today. Dying For Gold unravels the complex web of events leading up to the explosion and gives incisive portraits of the major players on all sides of the bitter standoff. Selleck and Thompson conducted more than 500 interviews and spent five years writing Dying For Gold. Their work takes you inside the mine, to the picket lines, to the front row of the courtrooms for Roger Warren's trials, and the victims' families' tenacious struggle for compensation and justice. Dying For Gold inspired the CBC's recent, award-winning podcast, Giant – Murder Underground.

Prairie Roots and Wings
Memoirs of Growing up in the Red River Valley by Philippe Sabourin
Captivating and stunning photographs will inspire as you follow Philippe in his many worldly adventures and moments! Prairie Roots and Wings is not only Philippe Sabourin’s memoir of growing up in the Red River Valley, it is a call to action to make our planet more sustainable and beautiful for our survival. The prairie farm in the ’50s and ’60s provided a simpler way of life, being closer to nature and growing one’s food. Settled in part by Francophones and Mennonites, the Red River Valley saw the arrival of the first Sabourins in 1891. This history of farming continued through the generations and inspired Philippe’s passion for the land, food production and sustainability. From those prairie roots, he spreads his wings in adventures that take him across the globe—from the rainforests of the Amazon to the grasslands of the Serengeti, from the waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the Arctic village of Tuktoyaktuk and from the marine reserve of the Galapagos to the amazing ecosystem of the Okavango Delta. Philippe shares important topics close to his heart: family, history, environmental and climate change challenges, future foods production, social inequities and how we can evolve to make this Earth a better place. A theme is woven throughout the book: the spirit of Ubuntu, humanity to others. When we cultivate an awareness of our common humanity, our world will be better equipped to solve the challenges and achieve peace and happiness for all.
