A haunting tribute to the heroic pioneers who shaped the American Midwest This powerful novel by Willa Cather is considered to be one of her finest works and placed Cather in the forefront of women novelists. It tells the stories of several immigrant families who start new lives in America in rural Nebraska. This powerful tribute to the quiet heroism of those whose struggles and triumphs shaped the American Midwest highlights the role of women pioneers, in particular. Written in the style of a memoir penned by Antonia’s tutor and friend, the book depicts one of the most memorable heroines in American literature, the spirited eldest daughter of a Czech immigrant family, whose calm, quite strength and robust spirit helped her survive the hardships and loneliness of life on the Nebraska prairie. The two form an enduring bond and through his chronicle, we watch Antonia shape the land while dealing with poverty, treachery, and tragedy. “No romantic novel ever written in America...is one half so beautiful as My Ántonia.” -H.

This book is an amalgamation of psychology and mythology. The characters of Mahabharata are intricately woven with the emotions we feel today to enlighten us about the spectrum of human conscience. The book is divided into seven chapters, each chapter rich in its own theme. *Authors note*: Try to read between the lines and understand the meaning of the book by putting yourself in each character’s shoes. I hope I am able to enchant you through my words spilt on 45 pages.

Canada is covered by a system of law and governance that largely obscures and ignores the presence of pre-existing Indigenous regimes. Indigenous law, however, has continuing relevance for both Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state. In his in-depth examination of the continued existence and application of Indigenous legal values, John Borrows suggests how First Nations laws could be applied by Canadian courts, and tempers this by pointing out the many difficulties that would occur if the courts attempted to follow such an approach. By contrasting and comparing Aboriginal stories and Canadian case law, and interweaving political commentary, Borrows argues that there is a better way to constitute Aboriginal / Crown relations in Canada. He suggests that the application of Indigenous legal perspectives to a broad spectrum of issues that confront us as humans will help Canada recover from its colonial past, and help Indigenous people recover their country. Borrows concludes by demonstrating how Indigenous peoples' law could be more fully and consciously integrated with Canadian law to produce a society where two world views can co-exist and a different vision of the Canadian constitution and citizenship can be created.

Canadian comedian, actor and television writer Marcel St. Pierre brings his years writing sketch comedy and advertising copy - where brevity is key - to bear in this, his first book of short stories. St. Pierre's playfully accessible writing style complements an ability to conjure unique characters and situations as universally ridiculous as a Gary Larson 'Far Side' cartoon. The stories are fast-paced, quick-witted - some laugh-out-loud and some even poignant and sweet. If you like the absurdity of Steve Martin's 'Pure Drivel' but haven't the time, commitment or attention span to stick with any printed word much longer than the length of several text messages or a Facebook post, this is the perfect book for the cottage or your daily commute. "(An) offbeat linguistic romp - delightful twists - sketches of a sunshine mind making leaps of logic into the absurd..." - Sheree Fitch, author, Kiss The Joy As it Flies, Stephen Leacock Literary Humour Award-shortlist "Never has a title of a book so correctly advertised what is between the covers... I laughed, ate a sandwich, worried about Marcel for a while, then laughed again. Read!" - Colin Mochrie, comedian, author ..". funny, charming, surprising, whimsical - a delight... an imaginative gem where what's real is redefined and the absurd has become the new normal. I couldn't stop smiling from the moment I picked them up." - Don Ferguson, Royal Canadian Air Farce "I take a deep breath and read nine stories. They're very clever... and weird. Like Marcel" - Peter Wildman, The Frantics

Slavery and the University is the first edited collection of scholarly essays devoted solely to the histories and legacies of this subject on North American campuses and in their Atlantic contexts. Gathering together contributions from scholars, activists, and administrators, the volume combines two broad bodies of work: (1) historically based interdisciplinary research on the presence of slavery at higher education institutions in terms of the development of proslavery and antislavery thought and the use of slave labor; and (2) analysis on the ways in which the legacies of slavery in institutions of higher education continued in the post–Civil War era to the present day. The collection features broadly themed essays on issues of religion, economy, and the regional slave trade of the Caribbean. It also includes case studies of slavery’s influence on specific institutions, such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Oberlin College, Emory University, and the University of Alabama. Though the roots of Slavery and the University stem from a 2011 conference at Emory University, the collection extends outward to incorporate recent findings. As such, it offers a roadmap to one of the most exciting developments in the field of U.S. slavery studies and to ways of thinking about racial diversity in the history and current practices of higher education.
