Editor and publisher, workaholic and romantic, idealist and pioneer, Lorne Pierce once described his editorial desk as "an altar at which I serve - the entire cultural life of Canada." Pierce laboured at his altar between 1920 and 1960 as the driving force behind Ryerson Press, the leading publisher of Canadian works during the mid-twentieth century. In Both Hands, Sandra Campbell captures the inimitable cultural role of a remarkable man whose work paved the way for the creation of a national identity. Both Hands delves into the encounters, trials, and triumphs that inspired Pierce's vision of cultural nationalism - from his rural upbringing in eastern Ontario, to the philosophical ideals he acquired at Queen's University, to his service as a teacher, a Methodist preacher, and a military man during the First World War. All these experiences coalesced in his work at Ryerson Press - then Canada's largest publishing house - even as he battled lupus and deafness to make his mark on the country's literary scene. Campbell situates this unflinching look into Pierce's personal and public life within the context of Canadian society, detailing his relationships with major figures such as the Group of Seven, Harold Innis, Donald Creighton, E.J. Pratt, the modernist Montreal poets, Northrop Frye, and many others. Set against the rich backdrop of Canada's early literary and artistic heritage, Both Hands vividly presents the life and work of an impresario of literary, historical, and art publishing of indisputable influence throughout the country's cultural milieus.

Both Hands Tied studies the working poor in the United States, focusing in particular on the relation between welfare and low-wage earnings among working mothers. Grounded in the experience of thirty-three women living in Milwaukee and Racine, Wisconsin, it tells the story of their struggle to balance child care and wage-earning in poorly paying and often state-funded jobs with inflexible schedules—and the moments when these jobs failed them and they turned to the state for additional aid. Jane L. Collins and Victoria Mayer here examine the situations of these women in light of the 1996 national Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act and other like-minded reforms—laws that ended the entitlement to welfare for those in need and provided an incentive for them to return to work. Arguing that this reform came at a time of gendered change in the labor force and profound shifts in the responsibilities of family, firms, and the state, Both Hands Tied provides a stark but poignant portrait of how welfare reform afflicted poor, single-parent families, ultimately eroding the participants’ economic rights and affecting their ability to care for themselves and their children.

Would you have enjoyed being a captive anthropoid in a zoo 100 years ago? Today, modern zoological parks simulate the natural habitats of the species in their sanctuaries. Gorillas and chimps thrive and reproduce. Many are released back into the wild. But in the corporate world management doesn't seem to know the normal conditions for Homo sapiens to perform at his best, and sadly don't care to learn. Anthropology, biology, psychology and sociology each teach us what Homo sapiens need to flourish. It is an enriched habitat that satisfies the needs and desires of hominids as they hunt and gather and compete for territory in the Corporate Zoo. Homo sapiens have two motivators that determine the effort they will put into work and how long they will continue doing it. Managers must sustain those motivations - with a two-handed approach that leaves no doubt that it produces profit. At a minimum, readers will figure out what they need from their bosses to fly after their goals. Managers will learn what drives team members and that they are dufuses if they don't provide it. Companies will rethink the order of their priorities if they want to be more profitable. The tools included in Nail it Today seal the deal in this one-of-a-kind eye-opening revelation on business. You won't put it down and you can't ignore it. It hits too hard.

Spencer Wade was born in March of 1888, into a mining family in the village of West Auckland situated in the Durham coalfields. Following the death of his father, a deputy over-man at the Townsend pit, his family fell upon hard times. Spencer, his two brothers, five sisters, and their mother struggled to survive. Eventually, at the age of fourteen, Spencer joined his brother Wilson down the pit of the local mines. He, like his siblings, did his part. After several years as a young miner, Spencer's fate took a turn. As the result of an interview with the Anglican bishop of Durham, he was identified by as "promising." The young man was sent to Macclesfield Grammar School and then to Manchester University, where he distinguished himself with a classical honours Degree. Soon after, he was ordained and went on to serve as a clerk in holy orders in over a dozen country parishes. His career was punctuated with a number of interesting diversions and highlights: as a young man, he worked with William Temple on the Life and Liberty Movement; he preached twice to King George V; and he served as a chaplain in the RAF and for the High Sheriff of Northumberland. Spencer Wade went home to the Lord in 1976, after a long and distinguished life of service to others. This, his autobiography, offers erudite reflections of faith and a delightful and candid glimpse into the life of an ordinary country parson, whose life was anything but ordinary.

Very few of us lead truly glamorous lives. A large part of daily life is routine, and it is very easy to get into a rut. To start thinking that our lives are plain and boring, and don’t really matter. Leana Platt shows us that that is not true, and gives us a fresh perspective on many aspects of our lives that we consider ordinary. She helps us to look at our children, our friendships, our marriages and other relationships with new eyes, appreciate and celebrate the life we were given and make the most of what we have received, understand that there is power in the simple things in life, and in living with simplicity, and realise anew that a relationship with our Heavenly Father is the key to enjoying this life to the full. The 60 reflections in Embrace Life with Both Hands will inspire and motivate you, and infuse you with renewed energy to make the most of each new day.

Cancer. Plant Explosion. Massive auto accident. All that and more, yet God still blessed him. How could anyone cope with everything and still come out shouting praise? Every time he turned around, there was a new test, a new trial. Will Jason be able to stay focused on God instead of the valleys of life? Jasons life journey has definitely been a journey of faith. The true test of faith is seen when we face down the challenges that life can bring. For a diamond to become a precious gem it must stay under the chisel, and for gold to be purified it has to remain in the fire. Jasons life experiences have definitely put him under the chisel and through the fire. Through it all Jason remains constant in his walk with Christ and stronger than ever in his faith. Reading Jasons book is both challenging and inspiring. I am blessed to have Jason in my life as a ministry partner and a friend. Though the future is unknown and the next chapter has yet to be written in Jasons life whatever comes his way I know where I will find him. He will be loving, serving and growing in Christ! Mike Chandler, senior pastor, Journey Church Cancer (the most feared word today ), blown up, bitten by a black widow spider, a life-threatening car wreck, colitis, and all of the pain that accompanies each one of these would cause most of us to question, if not lose our faith. But Jasons faith, like the slow process of forging steel, gets ever stronger. Thank you for sharing this chapter of your inspirational life story Jason. When I find myself in times of trouble I will remember this Job-like journey. As for me, I'm looking for an opportunity to help someone get their ice cream! Butch Stewart, youth leader, Hickory Church of God
