Book excerpt: The National Child Benefit announced in the 1997 federal Budget promised 850 million dollars to move children out of the welfare rolls and the trap of poverty. This book attempts to outline the key concepts of this new program and set the stage for discussion of its potential impact. The writers do not agree.

With her team of crows and bats hidden in the midst of the normal world, Kara will stop at nothing short of bending fate.

Excerpt from The Fairyselves: IF ONE STARES TOO INTENTLY at the constellations littered across a black velvet sky, they appear to move. When such things actually move, it is usually just one, and its tail blazes in a trail of fireworks. Everyone is amazed. It's how we know the eyes are not playing tricks on the brain. FAIRIES ARE LIKE THIS. If we have opportunity to see them, we are amazed. In matters of logic, we might certainly question if what we saw was actually real, or our imagination. Babies, toddlers - even those minds trapped in far away places suddenly rise from the living dead to see a blaze of sparkles and wings. Fairies, yes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together top scholars in the field, Universality and Social Policy in Canada provides an overview of the universality principle in social welfare. The contributors survey the many contested meanings of universality in relation to specific social programs, the field of social policy, and the modern welfare state.
