An Instant #1 National Bestseller • From one of Canada's most respected and high-profile health professionals (and former federal Minister of Health), a timely, practical, ambitious, and deeply personal call for action on health that sets out the roadmap to our future well-being. Jane Philpott has spent her life learning what makes people sick and what keeps people well. She has witnessed miracles in modern medicine. She has also watched children die of starvation in a world that has plenty of food. With Health for All , she sounds a clarion call for a radical disruption in a health care system that is broken—but not beyond repair. The vision is rooted in a deep-seated commitment to health equity. Decades ago, a few visionary Canadian leaders put laws in place to ensure health care insurance for all. But the structures to deliver that care were never fully developed as envisioned. As a result, our health systems are not comprehensive or well-coordinated. In the wake of a pandemic, we risk it all falling apart. More than six million people have no family doctor, nor any other access to primary care. Emergency rooms are routinely closed. Exhausted health workers wonder if it will ever get better. Some say we should hand health care over to the private sector. But to abandon our commitment to publicly funded health care now would only lead to more expensive and less equitable care. Philpott outlines a different solution—an ambitious, once-in-a-generation reset of health systems with universal access to primary care teams. What sets this book apart is that it’s more than a prescription for better medical care. Philpott looks at the big picture of health for all. This includes an intimate look at the personal roots of well-being: hope, belonging, meaning, and purpose. Then, through real-life stories, she examines the impact of the social determinants of health. Finally, she explains that none of this will happen without the political will to do the hard work of rebuilding a healthy society. The remedy we await is serious leadership to implement what we already know and to put the well-being of Canadians at the top of the agenda. |

“Trust me; I’m a doctor” no longer has the credibility it once did. Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated. Advice to avoid healthy fats and stay out of the sun has been proven to be detrimental to longevity and wreak havoc on your system, and yet many doctors still regularly espouse this “wisdom.” What kind of advice is your doctor giving you? Is it possible you’re being misled? Dr. Ken Berry is here to dispel the myths and misinformation that have been perpetuated by the medical and food industries for decades. This updated and expanded edition of Dr. Berry’s bestseller Lies My Doctor Told Me exposes the truth behind all kinds of “lies” told by well-meaning but misinformed medical practitioners. In this book, Dr. Berry will enlighten you about nutrition and life choices, their role in your health, and how to begin an educated conversation with your doctor about finding the right path for you. This book is a survival kit on your journey through the confusing, and often misleading, world of conventional medicine and includes such topics as • How doctors are taught to think about nutrition and other preventative health measures—and how they should be thinking • How the Food Pyramid and MyPlate came into existence and why they should change • The facts about fat intake and heart health • The truth about the effects of whole wheat on the human body • The role of dairy in your diet • The truth about salt—friend or foe? • The dangers and benefits of hormone therapy • New information about inflammation and how it should be viewed by doctors Come out of the darkness and let Ken Berry be your guide to optimal health and harmony! |

Vous voulez écrire un roman policier, une nouvelle policière ? Ce livre vous explique comment réussir. À partir de l'exemple de grands maîtres : Simenon, Patricia Highsmith. Raymond Chandler... Comment créer et caractériser les six personnages de base. Comment structurer le récit en maîtrisant les retours en arrière. Comment choisir le point de vue correct. Comment partir d'un sentiment fort pour créer son histoire. Sur toutes ces techniques, ce manuel apporte des réponses précises. Il vous offre une méthode en sept étapes pour réussir votre premier polar. Une méthode claire et concise qui vous guidera dans l'écriture de vos premiers polars. EXTRAIT POURQUOI ÉCRIRE UN POLAR ? Pour quatre raisons : • D’abord parce que vous en avez sans doute lu beaucoup et, comme moi, aimé beaucoup, et que ce style vous tente. • Ensuite, parce que c’est un des rares genres qui, en conséquence, se vend, et se vend bien. Alors qu’il est presque impossible de vendre aujourd’hui un recueil de poèmes, une pièce de théâtre ou même un roman classique à un éditeur, il est bien plus facile de lui vendre un roman policier. • Ensuite parce que le genre policier se décline sous toutes les formes : nouvelle, roman court (180 p.), roman long (400 p.), scénario de film, scénario de T.V., feuilleton, scénario de B.D., dramatique radiophonique, etc. Ce qui permet de plus en plus de valoriser les droits d’auteurs plusieurs fois. • Enfin surtout parce que, même si ce n’est pas votre vocation finale, le polar est la meilleure école pour apprendre à charpenter un récit qui se tienne et à maîtriser les points de vue. Deux talents cruciaux pour ceux qui sont tentés par l’écriture romanesque. Même si, par la suite, vous ne devez pas persister dans les intrigues policières, vous n’aurez pas perdu votre temps en construisant un polar. Vous aurez appris votre métier de romancier qui consiste à raconter une bonne histoire, distrayante et, si possible, profonde. Bien des écrivains reconnus qui siègent aujourd’hui à l’Académie Française ont commencé, dans leur jeunesse, par écrire des romans policiers. Par exemple Jacques Laurent et Henri Troyat. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Louis Timbal-Duclaux a écrit plus d'une vingtaine de livres sur l'expression écrite professionnelle ou romanesque. Aujourd'hui retraité, il écrit et anime des séminaires. |

“Beautiful and endlessly fascinating. . . . you’ll never look at punctuation the same way again.” —Michael Bierut, partner, Pentagram In this show-stopping guide with more than seventy-five uniquely designed two-color spreads—a rollicking linguistic ride in the spirit of  Eats, Shoots & Leaves  and  Just My Type —award–winning graphic designer Michael Arndt explores the typographic origins, names, and shapes of both common and uncommon punctuation marks and symbols, as well as the usage of each. In graphically engaging spreads that use typography in an innovative way,  Snails & Monkey Tails  examines the evolution of these mighty linguistic tools—from the punctum, or point, created by an ancient scribe to the guillemet, used most commonly in lieu of quote marks by the French (and named in honor of typographer Guillaume Le Bé). Snails (@) & Monkey Tails (&) is packed with facts, history, stories, and lore, as well as grammar explained clearly and with examples. Complete with a list of useful terms and clear diagrams for creating typographical marks and symbols correctly on both PC and Apple computers,  Snails & Monkey Tails  is essential for bibliophiles, writers, grammarians, graphic designers, typography enthusiasts, logophiles, and anyone with a passion for the written word. Praise for Michael Arndt’s books “Clever . . . exuberant in its sense of fun.” — Publishers Weekly “Evocative . . . fresh, engaging.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) |

Since 2001, The Emergency Department Echo Course and The EDE 2 Course have taught EDE (pronounced “Eddie”) to over 10000 physicians worldwide, including half of the Canadian emergency medicine workforce.  The most distinctive aspect of The EDE Courses has been the focus on image generation. When clinicians first began investigating the possibility of using ultrasound themselves, a big secret was concealed from them: image interpretation is easy. The real challenge is image generation: putting the image on the screen. Before The EDE Courses, physicians learned image generation mostly by trial and error. EDE brought a rigorous methodology to the scanning of each area of the body, dramatically reducing the time needed to master this new skill.   "Essentials of Point-of-Care Ultrasound" combines The EDE Course manuals which have been written and re-written for over a decade to give health-care providers the clearest and most concise approach to bedside ultrasound.  This “how-to” guide contains over 700 illustrations, photos, and ultrasound images which show you how to perform the scan and how to recognize positive and negatives images. As well, the book focuses on how you can incorporate your findings into your clinical decision-making. The book also contains an approach to ultrasound guidance for several commonly performed procedures. This eBook version adds the following functionalities: over 40 videos, slideshows, quizzes, reference hyperlinks to Pub Med, links to EDE blog content, an interactive glossary, chapter summaries, study cards and reader-defined notes, plus the navigation for which eBooks are famous. |

NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER • A sharp, funny grammar guide they’ll actually  want  to read, from Random House’s longtime copy chief and one of Twitter’s leading language gurus   NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine • Paste • Shelf Awareness “Essential (and delightful!)”— People We all write, all the time: books, blogs, emails. Lots and lots of emails. And we all want to write better. Benjamin Dreyer is here to help. As Random House’s copy chief, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike—not to mention his followers on social media—for deconstructing the English language with playful erudition. Now he distills everything he has learned from the myriad books he has copyedited and overseen into a useful guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward. As authoritative as it is amusing, Dreyer’s English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en dash; the rules and nonrules of grammar, including why it’s OK to begin a sentence with “And” or “But” and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it’s best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including “very,” “rather,” “of course,” and the dreaded “actually.” Dreyer will let you know whether “alright” is all right (sometimes) and even help you brush up on your spelling—though, as he notes, “The problem with mnemonic devices is that I can never remember them.” And yes: “Only godless savages eschew the series comma.” Chockful of advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people’s prose, and—perhaps best of all—an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language. Praise for Dreyer ’s  English “Playful, smart, self-conscious, and personal . . . One encounters wisdom and good sense on nearly every page of Dreyer’s English .” — The Wall Street Journal “Destined to become a classic.” — The Millions “Dreyer can help you . . . with tips on punctuation and spelling. . . . Even better: He’ll entertain you while he’s at it.” — Newsday   |

The story of how Japan adopted and ultimately revived traditional American fashion Look closely at any typically "American" article of clothing these days, and you may be surprised to see a Japanese label inside. From high-end denim to oxford button-downs, Japanese designers have taken the classic American look—known as ametora , or "American traditional"—and turned it into a huge business for companies like Uniqlo, Kamakura Shirts, Evisu, and Kapital. This phenomenon is part of a long dialogue between Japanese and American fashion; in fact, many of the basic items and traditions of the modern American wardrobe are alive and well today thanks to the stewardship of Japanese consumers and fashion cognoscenti, who ritualized and preserved these American styles during periods when they were out of vogue in their native land. In Ametora , cultural historian W. David Marx traces the Japanese assimilation of American fashion over the past hundred and fifty years, showing how Japanese trendsetters and entrepreneurs mimicked, adapted, imported, and ultimately perfected American style, dramatically reshaping not only Japan's culture but also our own in the process. |

In the fall of 1949 I went to the Library of Congress to get material for a newspaper article about the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. What I expected to be a week's labor turned into a lengthy research job of nineteen months, for I discovered, in my initial inquiry, that there existed not one narrative account of the origins and activities of this powerful organization. The standard works on the Federal Reserve System, almost entirely abstruse and technical works on economics, I found of little practical value. Even in the matter of acceptances, the usual textbooks contained no information upon such an important item in America's economic history as the changeover from the open-book system of credit to the acceptance system, which has wrought such vast changes in our practice of commerce, and for this information I found only one source, a few pamphlets published by the American Acceptance Council from 1915 to 1928. It is, then, little wonder that the student with a Master's Degree in Economics from one of the better universities will see here for the first time material which should have been before him in his elementary courses." Eustace Clarence Mullins, Jr was a populist American political writer and biographer. His most famous and influential work is The Secrets of The Federal Reserve, described by congressman Wright Patman as 'a very fine book [which] has been very useful to me'. He is generally regarded as one of the most influential authors in the genre of conspiracism. |

An indispensable guide for the self-represented accused, victim or witness. Understanding Canada's criminal justice system can be difficult. Criminal charges often involve life-changing events, and the justice system can be intimidating and confusing.

Who can change conditions of bail? Who can terminate a charge before trial? Who can a victim or witness contact for help preparing for trial? When a person goes to court it seems as if everyone has hired a lawyer, but the reality is many people appear before court, representing themselves. This book is a comprehensive guide to the justice system, written in simple, clear language. The book doesn't provide legal advice, but does explain how Canada's criminal justice system works, what justice officials do, and who has the power to make decisions at different stages of a criminal case. An indispensable guide for the self-represented victim, witness or accused. |

This concise book reviews the various types of neglect in childhood, providing an operational definition that incorporates existing viewpoints.  It describes risk factors for neglect to increase awareness for improved identification, prevention, and treatment of this pervasive problem.  This is particularly important as neglect is a growing worldwide issue which receives less attention than more florid forms of abuse.  The book aims to facilitate conceptualization and treatment of adult clients who have suffered neglect as well as treatment plans for at risk home environments. |
