Follow the Money

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McWilliams, David, PUBLISHER: Gill & Macmillan Ltd, The Pope's Children are turning 30 and in the four years since David McWilliams introduced us to the generation that could have had it all, the Pope's Children have been betrayed. This book is about real people and how good people can be broken by bad economics. But it doesn't have to be like this. There is a way out. We catch up with old friends, Breakfast Roll Man and Miss Pencil Skirt, and meet new characters like the Merchant of Ennis, Shylock and the Godfather. We have late night tea with Brian Lenihan and cross swords with Seanie Fitzpatrick. We learn why the average drug dealer on the side of the street has more in common with the banker than either would care to mention, as we follow the money -- in both rackets -- from its source at the very top right down to the 'buy now, pay later' deals at rock bottom. Why should we trust the people who got us into this mess in the first place? They were wrong then and they are wrong now. The politicians, bankers and developers think they can hand us the bill and walk away from the carnage. They want us to follow a route that will make things worse for the ordinary man on the street while saving the bankers at the top of the tree, insisting that there is no other way. But there is an obvious alternative which has been adopted by every economy that has successfully emerged from this type of crisis. With the same sense of fun as The Pope's Children, David McWilliams makes answering hard questions easy. In his typical breezy style, he suggests where to go from here. To be led up the garden path once in the past ten years is a tragedy; to be led up twice by the same people is unforgiveable. There is an alternative. Follow the Money is an optimistic and uplifting book about that alternative, which is well within our grasp if only we'd wake up and seize it.

More Than 100 Signs That Prove... Nobody's "Purrfect"!

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Silicato, Carolyn Stevenson, PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, People have no excuse to write using incorrect grammar-especially if their writing will be seen by the public. A little proofreading goes a long way. For Carolyn Stevenson Silicato, a retired elementary school teacher, this carelessness has always been a pet peeve. In fact, it became part of a tradition in the district where she taught: anyone spotting a misspelling in a public place would be sure to tell her about it. Those collected missteps form the genesis for "More than 100 Signs That Prove Nobody's Purrfect." She began taking pictures of misspellings that she saw along the roadways. After she retired from teaching, she carried her camera with her all of time and quickly gathered over one hundred pictures of highway misspellings. She divides them into the types of grammatical mistakes that people frequently make, from "Which Vowel Was That?" to "Wrong Words"-thus inviting readers and students to detect the errors in each of the one hundred signs. Enjoy this completely interactive, learning experience, and remember that nobody's perfect

From Brazil to Heaven

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Adomian, Diane / Neto, Eduardo C., PUBLISHER: Hands of Care Photography, Up till now, no book has shown so much of the insider's Brazil. In photography and text, "From Brazil to Heaven" gives a unique look into Brazilian lifestyles, cultures and history. This is an essential volume in anyone's cultural library, and a must-have for those whose curiosity and passions are aroused by the Brazilian land and people.ABOUT THE AUTHORBorn in the cauldron of mystery known as Brazil, Eduardo C. Neto is a researcher, photographer and writer presenting an informed insider's view of his country and his people in this first volume of his photography. Edu's work is a raw and immediate glimpse deep into a culture little known and barely understood by the outside world. It takes an insider's knowledge and access, and readiness in the midst of the crowds and the action, to catch these impromptu moments whenever and wherever they happen. ARTS OF BRAZILFrom visual arts to music, dance, poetry and literature, from historical architecture to naive painting, from the ethnic melding of culinary arts to the uniquely communal, acrobatic, and musical martial art that is Brazilian Capoeira, this book reveals the artistic kaleidoscope of living the Brazilian way. We get a view of the largest historical complex of European Baroque architecture in Latin America, along with Art Nouveau, Contemporary, and New Gothic styles. Walls alive with master works by contemporary painters, ancestral food that ties people together, dance as a spontaneous outpouring of cultural expression, and music as part of daily life and community celebrations are found in this cavalcade of images.PHOTOGRAPHYThe photographs capture the stunning beauty of the people, the scenery, the sights and the moments that make up this special corner of the world. By following the threads of culture to their deepest sources, with an insider's point of view, the author's photographs testify to how the people live and why. By his presence on the ground, his access and his authenticity, we come close to the people and culture of Brazil.This book is a visual source of inspiration. Through the children, the women and the men who are the true riches and the beauty of this land, the reader will come to know with intimacy how the Brazilian spirit wakes up each day and survives in the only way it knows, creating a new song.DOCUMENTARYNative Brazilian or "Indio" peoples, Europeans and Africans of the diaspora come together here, overcoming the distances of land and language to take on a new culture. Together, these groups share their strength to forge the Brazilian identity today. This volume provides comprehensive visual documentation of little-known aspects of the Brazilian way of life, along with credible and hard-to-find written information.Myriad cultural manifestations interweave to create the special Brazilian lifestyle. The photographs and accompanying commentary in "From Brazil to Heaven" provide insight into the events that make Brazil exciting year-round: the

Robertson Davies: A Portrait in Mosaic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ross, Val, PUBLISHER: Emblem Editions, National bestseller and a "Globe and Mail" Best Book A fascinating, larger-than-life character, Davies left a treasure trove of stories about him when he died in -- expertly arranged here into a revealing portrait. From his student days onward, Robertson Davies made a huge impression on those around him. He was so clearly bound for a glorious future that some young friends even carefully preserved his letters. And everyone remembered their encounters with him. Later in life, as a world-famous writer, perhaps Canada's pre-eminent man of letters (who "looked like Jehovah"), he attracted people eager to meet him, who also vividly remembered their meetings. So when Val Ross set out in search of people's memories, she was faced with a wonderful embarrassment of riches. The one hundred or so contributors here range very widely. There are family memories, of course, and memories from colleagues in the academic world who knew him as a professor and the founding master of Massey College at the University of Toronto. Predictably, there are other major writers like Margaret Atwood and John Irving. Less predictably, there are people from the world of Hollywood, such as Norman Jewison and David Cronenberg (who remembers Davies on-set, peering through a camera lens as he researched his newest novel). And we even hear from his barber, and from his gardener, Theo Henkenhaf. Some speakers contribute just a lively paragraph; others several pages. Yet all of them, through the magic of Val Ross's art, help to create an intriguing, full-colour portrait of a complex man beloved by millions of readers around the world. "From the Hardcover edition."
