In turns hysterical and heartbreaking, frantic and thoughtful, The Slip-Knot is a spellbinding comic monologue unlike any other. Journey with the incomparable TJ Dawe as he mans a giant truck, becomes the unhelpful voice on the other end of the phone line, and compiles euphemisms while he stocks the shelves in a drugstore. In between are ruminations and wise observations on long-distance relationships, the history of Santa Claus, recreational Gravol, and why you should never mail meat, no matter what the clerk at the 7-11 tells you.

Labrador is about a part of the world that practically no one knows anything about -- Canada's own Siberia. And because your tour guide is the lovely and talented TJ Dawe, it's also about the cycle of generations, how the hell bread got invented, the blurry line between fact and fiction, why schedule needs to be pronounced with a k sound, and how aliens and archaeologists are the same.

Judy Larmour

Between the Fourth Meridian and the Continental Divide is a vast land with some of the most varied landscapes, difficult terrain, and treacherous climates in Canada. The challenge of exploring, surveying and mapping the territory now known as Alberta holds some of the most fascinating stories in the 100-year-old province's history.  From the first excursions of David Thompson and John Palliser to the ongoing work of surveying for industry and development, from the first hand-drawn maps and sextants to modern satellite imaging and computer modeling, historian Judy Larmour captures the grand arcs and the fascinating details of the dramatic centuries-long struggle to find and mark place.

The summer of 1969 is already a distant memory; the psychedelic underground has turned on itself. John Dupre has deserted a perfectly satisfying life as a student in Toronto, drawn back to the US by the need to make a difference in the Revolution. He's living in Boston, under an assumed name because he's on the FBI's wanted list for draft evasion. When John and his companions seize control of an underground newspaper and are put on the Weatherman hit list, there's really no place to hide.

Looking Good: Difficulty at the Beginning

Standing Together is a powerful expression of women's collective and individual strength. It is a collection of personal stories from women who have suffered the horrors of violence and abuse and have made the hardest decision: to stand up, to choose life, to take control, to walk out of the darkness. The disturbing, compelling and inspiring stories were written by women of all ages, professions and ethnicities, from all social and economic backgrounds. Taken together, they form a greater story of hope and inspiration.

Tornado Magnet: A Salute to Trailer Court Women

Hagen, Darrin

Paul Munk is a socially conscious idealist, leaning left in his political convictions. His skills as a writer for a current affairs magazine have garnered him an assignment that will challenge his relationships, present and future: to follow and profile Daniel Code, a member of the religious right who believes he has been called upon by God to lead his right wing party to national power. A growing attraction to Code’s daughter - and media handler - Rachel, complicates Paul’s intent to broil the candidate publicly. Paul’s family, disconnected by the same issues of faith and politics, is forced to adjust to one son’s release from prison. Richard Munk, Paul’s older brother, has served his time behind bars and is now intent on rebuilding his life with an American woman with whom he has corresponded. When Richard crosses the US border and loses contact with his family, Paul follows his trail, hoping to find his brother, and pursue a relationship that can sustain their differences.
