The enigmatic Book of Jasher (Sefer Hayashar in Hebrew) has been undergoing a renaissance in our time. Mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and II Sam. 1:17, it was thought by many Bible scholars to have been lost. It has been cloaked in obscurity, cloistered away for centuries, and sparsely published, but there have always been those who knew of it's existence. It languished in the care of Hebrew scribes since the time of the destruction of the temple in the first century. It awaited the time when the Jews began to have a degree of academic freedom in the 17th century. By that time printing technology made it possible mass-print the book for the first time in history. Several works have existed by this title, but this volume has all the earmarks of the Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible. Our first edition was released in 1995 and it has since been read and enjoyed by thousands. This 2nd edition is finally released after 17 years of additional research. It is now a 2 volume set , greatly expanded and fully indexed, in a handier 6 x 9 format. Our edition includes important prefaces that tell the fascinating story of the survival of the book down to modern times. Our first edition contained eight appendices that analyzed key passages in the book. These original appendices have become chapters in Volume II, to which we have added 151 additional pages of material.

Product Description 
Stunning images are beautifully presented alongside biographical essays that enhance the soulful nature of this unique portfolio. 
Many people wear a lifetime of experiences on their face, yet who that person is and what they have experienced often remains a mystery. In Resilient, Wayne Simpson’s first book of photography, readers will encounter a collection of portraits accompanied by individual stories of inspiration, tragedy, and humanitarianism. The book’s overall narrative is an emotional journey in which readers will inevitably see aspects of themselves in the stories of some truly remarkable individuals. 
With compassion and respect, Wayne Simpson has befriended individuals and discovered personal stories such as an 89-year-old homeless man’s struggle to survive, an 18-year search for a lost brother, a man’s 40-year devotion to building a ten thousand square foot nuclear fallout shelter, and many more. Intertwined with each story is the subnarrative of the photographer learning who he is as each connection is forged. 
Always compelling and at times haunting, Simpson’s portraits keep storytelling at the forefront. The atmosphere and mood are often crafted with multiple studio lights on location. Many of Simpson’s portraits are graced with intricate details, each adding additional layers of complexity to the portrait and in turn making each portrait a visual story on its own. 
 Review 
Praise for Resilient: 
 “With this riveting, heart-wrenching collection of images, Wayne Simpson goes well beyond the pixels. While the portraits alone showcase Simpson’s masterful photographic abilities and leave us reeling in awe, the accompanying stories give the readers a window into what has transpired for these remarkable subjects. 
Resilient is not just a sensational display of cutting-edge, moving portrait photographs; it’s a journey we undertake, through the lives and experiences of others, thanks to the courage, creativity and inquisitiveness of the artist.”\n—Paul Zizka, author of Aloft: Canadian Rockies Aerial Photography, The Canadian Rockies: Rediscovered, Grandeur of the Canadian Rockies and several other bestselling photo collections 
 “Spending time with this book reminded me of the words of St. John: ‘The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it’.”\n—George Webber, author of Borrowed Time: Calgary 1976–2019; Saskatchewan Book; Alberta Book; Prairie Gothic; and Last Call

This book examines the evolution of basic income policy and research in advanced economies and is divided into two parts.&nbsp;The first section considers the development of basic income as a social policy initiative in advanced (OECD) nations from the 1960s to today.&nbsp; It reviews what the negative income tax experiments accomplished, their limitations, and what they can lend to the design and implementation of basic income pilots or a full blown basic income program today.&nbsp;It also considers important developments and research in poverty and economic inequality and in technological change and labour market adjustment over the last half century.&nbsp;The second section focuses on the Canadian case, where the prospects for basic income are perhaps among the most promising. In addition to a review of Mincome and its lessons and limitations, this section considers important developments in poverty research by the Economic Council of Canada and the Canadian Senate in the 1960s, attempts at welfare reform, and the policy initiatives to develop a basic income for elderly Canadians that has endured to this day.&nbsp;Many of the important social and technological developments that are reviewed in the first part will be discussed in more detail with specific reference to the Canadian case.&nbsp;The evolution of the important policy innovations&#8213;the National Child Benefit and its successors and the Poverty Reduction Strategy&#8213;are outlined in detail and linked to other, more modest, income support initiatives such as the federal sales tax credit that provide a potential foundation for a comprehensive basic income plan in Canada.&nbsp; Research, including recent microsimulation studies of a basic income, are critically reviewed.&nbsp; Although the COVID-19 pandemic has increased interest in basic income to support those hardest hit, the book argues for careful design of basic income policies in its aftermath rather than simplistic adoption of emergency pandemic measures. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
