Book excerpt: Kara Wald thought she knew her sister Kelly. She was practical, down-to-earth, and just a little bit dull. But then Kelly died after jumping--or being pushed--out of a twelfth-floor window of Manhattan's Plaza Hotel--wearing only a black garter belt and black stockings. And after having sex with two men. How could this have happened? Kara uncovers a bizarre and twisted world of sadistic sex and decadent violence--and something worse. Something strange and evil in her sister's past that she must conquer. Because as Kara herself slips into the kinky and dangerous world that killed Kelly, she realizes that it's coming after her.

Download or read book The Canadian Non profit Sector written by Ted Richmond and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-12T00:00:00Z with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberal restructuring has left individuals and families scrambling for survival and increasingly reliant on the under-funded and over-regulated non-profit sector to patch over the steadily growing fissures in our society. The book examines the creativity and resilience of nonprofits in maintaining and expanding their services. This book also delves into the vital role of non-profits in advocacy for human rights, anti-racism, Indigenous claims, and improved health and social services. The decades-long turn towards marketized solutions to social needs has created the conditions under which privatized modes of service delivery have become the norm. The extraordinary rise of the non-profit sector is an under-analyzed consequence of neoliberal restructuring in Canada. In this timely corrective, Ted Richmond and John Shields analyze the place of the non-profit sector in neoliberal times in Canada. The authors take a critical political economy approach, providing a vital analysis of the significance of the non-profit sector, and bring clarity to its dimensions and roles in society. The book pays particular attention to the provision of social, human and health services in Canada’s changing welfare state system.
