Book excerpt: Two years ago, while on their summer vacation, the Jones children were a part of an amazing adventure with a colourful group of scholars and mystics―one that culminated in their releasing a group of children who had been cursed to endlessly relive a single day, for over three hundred years, inside a one-room schoolhouse. With those children free and adopted into the families of those who had released them, everyone thought their mission was complete. Little did they know that it was only the beginning, and that by breaking that spell, they had unleashed a potential catastrophe on the natural timeline. Now it’s up to the Jones children and their friends to find the answers they need and undo the damage they unwittingly caused, even if that means travelling to its source―three hundred years in the past.
Download or read book The Children of Creemore Creek written by Derek Jenkins and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When four young siblings discover an ancient schoolhouse hidden away in a haunted forest and surrounded by a thick wall of thorny brush, they think it's the coolest thing ever. Then they look through the old windows at a completely empty room, and see footprints start appearing right before their eyes. Some people would have run for their lives, or screamed, or questioned their own sanity. Not the Jones kids. School was out for the summer, and what could be better than a ghostly mystery to keep them occupied and entertained? Eager to get to the bottom of it, and to free the spirits trapped inside the school, they enlist the help of a local professor, specializing in supernatural and occult studies, and as the circle of researchers starts to expand, they end up getting much more than they bargained for. They discover that there is far more to the world around them than they had ever even suspected: generations of magical women sworn to protect the world and its peoples; generations of magical men, keeping records of the women's activities; ancient prophecies and prophets, curses and spells, and even a magical pen named Merlin thrown in for good measure. The Jones kids don't exactly understand it all, or realize how completely their lives are going to be changed when all is said and done, but one thing is very clear: This was going to be an awesome adventure!

Download or read book Blocking Public Participation written by Byron Sheldrick and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPP) involves lawsuits brought by individuals, corporations, groups, or politicians to curtail political activism and expression. An increasingly large part of the political landscape in Canada, they are often launched against those protesting, boycotting, or participating in some form of political activism. A common feature of SLAPPs is that their intention is rarely to win the case or secure a remedy; rather, the suit is brought to create a chill on political expression. Blocking Public Participation examines the different types of litigation and causes of action that frequently form the basis of SLAPPs, and how these lawsuits transform political disputes into legal cases, thereby blocking political engagement. The resource imbalance between plaintiffs and defendants allows plaintiffs to tie up defendants in complex and costly legal processes. The book also examines the dangers SLAPPs pose to political expression and to the quality and integrity of our democratic political institutions. Finally, the book examines the need to regulate SLAPPs in Canada and assesses various regulatory proposals. In Canada, considerable attention has been paid to the “legalization of politics” and the impact on the Charter in diverting political activism into the judicial arena. SLAPPs, however, are an under-studied element of this process, and in their obstruction of political engagement through recourse to the courts they have profound implications for democratic practice.

Download or read book Two Billion Trees and Counting written by John Bacher and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short-listed for the 2012 Speaker’s Book Award Edmund Zavitz (1875–1968) rescued Ontario from the ravages of increasingly more powerful floods, erosion, and deadly fires. Wastelands were talking over many hectares of once-flourishing farmlands and towns. Sites like the Oak Ridges Moraine were well on their way to becoming a dust bowl and all because of extensive deforestation. Zavitz held the positions of chief forester of Ontario, deputy minister of forests, and director of reforestation. His first pilot reforestation project was in 1905, and since then Zavitz has educated the public and politicians about the need to protect Ontario forests. By the mid-1940s, conservation authorities, provincial nurseries, forestry stations, and bylaws protecting trees were in place. Land was being restored. Just a month before his death, the one billionth tree was planted by Premier John Robarts. Some two billion more would follow. As a result of Zavitz’s work, the Niagara Escarpment, once a wasteland, is now a UNESCO World Biosphere. Recognition of the ongoing need to plant trees to protect our future continues as the legacy of Edmund Zavitz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A true gem that invites contemplation and reflection in children, who are often too busy to notice the beauty of everyday life.” — School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW In the stillness of a summer dawn, two siblings leave their campsite with fishing rods, tackle and bait, and push a red canoe into the lake. A perfect morning on the water unfolds, with thrilling glimpses of wildlife along the way. The narrator describes the experience vividly. Trailing a lure through the blue-green depths, the siblings paddle around a point, spotting a moose in the shallows, a beaver swimming towards its home and an eagle returning to its nest. Suddenly there is a sharp tug and the rod bends to meet the water. A few heart-stopping moments later, the pair pull a silvery trout from the water, then paddle back to the campsite to fry up a delicious breakfast. The poetic text is accompanied by stunningly beautiful paintings rendered on wood panels that give a nostalgic feeling to the story.

Book excerpt: 'His relish is infectious' Times 'The funniest book I've read in ages. Savage but compelling' Ian Rankin 'Funny, rumbustious, unstinting and wonderfully Hogarthian' The Observer 'Sharp, funny, and beautifully written... a brilliant reflection on the landscape we now live in' Joanna Cannon _______________ What a thing of wonder a mobile phone is. Six ounces of metal, glass and plastic, fashioned into a sleek, shiny, precious object. At once, a gateway to other worlds - and a treacherous weapon in the hands of the unwary, the unwitting, the inept. The Cleverley family live a gilded life, little realising how precarious their privilege is, just one tweet away from disaster. George, the patriarch, is a stalwart of television interviewing, a 'national treasure' (his words), his wife Beverley, a celebrated novelist (although not as celebrated as she would like), and their children, Nelson, Elizabeth, Achilles, various degrees of catastrophe waiting to happen. Together they will go on a journey of discovery through the Hogarthian jungle of the modern living where past presumptions count for nothing and carefully curated reputations can be destroyed in an instant. Along the way they will learn how volatile, how outraged, how unforgiving the world can be when you step from the proscribed path. Powered by John Boyne's characteristic humour and razor-sharp observation, The Echo Chamber is a satiric helter skelter, a dizzying downward spiral of action and consequence, poised somewhere between farce, absurdity and oblivion. To err is maybe to be human but to really foul things up you only need a phone. The new novel by John Boyne, WATER, is available for pre-order now.
