&ldquo;Deeper Dating is counter-intuitive, and it is among the best manuals for succeeding in finding and keeping love we have seen. According to its author, the core attractor for the person best suited for a great love is the part of you with which you may be most uncomfortable: your vulnerability and authenticity. He explicitly votes against a presentational self attempting to make an impression. Not only does he encourage you to leave your defenses at home, he shows you with many illustrations and exercises just how to prepare for the ultimate relationship with someone who is just right for you.&rdquo;&mdash;Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph. D., authors of &#160;Keeping the Love You Find and Making Marriage Simple&ldquo;Deeper Dating is a beautiful journey into deeper intimacy, an inspiring and important guidebook for everyone seeking authentic love.&rdquo;&mdash;Judith Orloff, MD, author of The Ecstasy of Surrender&ldquo;If you are truly ready for big, heart-opening, lasting romantic love, this workshop-in-a book offers the proven step-by-step process. Highly recommended.&rdquo;&mdash;Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret&ldquo;Deeper Dating was a revelation for me. This enlightening book helped me to see the way we go about dating deeply influences the kind of relationship that will emerge. If you desire a soulmate, lead with your soul. So many of us come from that place of looking for that person who 'completes' us, but Ken helped me to see that I desire a partner who 'reflects' the best in me. Show your core gifts of vulnerability and authenticity and you'll find a partner who does the same.&rdquo;&mdash;Chip Conley, author of Emotional Equations and Peak&ldquo;A unique and brilliant contribution.

"Save the Humans is...a project of passion--part memoir, part rallying cry, it documents how [Stewart's] love of the natural world made him a conservationist and asks how we can save other species if we can't save ourselves." &mdash;CBC Books"Chock-full of sobering statistics about the massive depletion of fish populations as well as the wide-reaching threat of ocean acidification. It also details Stewart's adventure-filled, nature-loving life." &mdash;Winnipeg Free Press"Part Michael Moore, part Jacques Cousteau, Rob Stewart is an interesting hybrid with enough integrity, and enough filmmaker hustle, to swim with the sharks and make us love them." &mdash;The Vancouver Sun

"Wegen der griffigen Hinführung zu allen wichtigen Phänomenen des politischen Italiens, die es bietet, ist ihm [dem Autor] und der interessierten Öffentlichkeit eine baldige Nachauflage zu wünschen, die auch das Geschehen bis zu den vorgezogenen Neuwahlen vom April 2008 noch aufarbeitet." Politische Studien, September/Oktober 2008

"Die Stärken des Buches liegen in der Darstellung der Institutionen und der politischen Verfasstheit des Landes. Auch kompliziertere Dinge wie das geltende Wahlrecht mit Sperrklauseln und Mehrheitsprämie erklärt der Autor systematisch und allgemein verständlich." analyse & kritik, 18.04.2008

"Eine aktuelle Einführung in das für Außenstehende zuweilen unübersichtliche politische System Italiens ließ lange auf sich warten. Umso verdienstvoller ist die umfassende, kenntnisreiche und gut lesbare Monografie, die sich [...] an den traditionellen Gegenständen der vergleichenden Politikwissenschaft orientiert. Der Autor deckt alle wichtigen Bereiche von politischer Kultur über die Verfassungsinstitutionen bis hin zur Interessenvermittlung ab." ZPol - Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft, 03/2007

&#8220;It's this thematic resonance, along with an understated humanism reminiscent of Anton Chekhov (incidentally, another physician), that makes Consumption a quietly devastating novel.&#8221;&#8211;The Vancouver Sun&#8220;Some first novels simply tower above their contemporaries by the scope of their ambition and the power of their vision. Last year, it was Joseph Boyden&#8217;s Three Day Road; earlier this year it was Madeleine Thien&#8217;s Certainty, and now it&#8217;s Kevin Patterson&#8217;s Consumption.&#8221;&#8211;The Globe and Mail&#8220;On the surface, Consumption is deceptively simple and gripping. It's the story of one woman and her family. But what a woman -- and what a family!&#8221;&#8211;The Globe and Mail&#8220;Patterson has seen and done much where two or more world views intersect. It makes him a peculiarly well-informed and insightful guide to the conflicts within the coastal Inuit community of Rankin Inlet in the Canadian Arctic, the primary setting of Consumption&#8230;&#8221;&#8211;The Globe and Mail&#8220;the people in Kevin Patterson's gripping new novel of the North, Consumption, are defiantly human. They are complicated, passionate, troubled, confused and, in some cases, doomed -- by disease, by their own failings and by those of their loves ones and by economic and cultural forces beyond their control.&#8221;&#8211;The Winnipeg Free Press&#8220;Consumption launches a major voice in Canadian fiction&#8221;&#8211;The Winnipeg Free PressPraise for Country of Cold:&#8220;[Patterson] . . . has made the leap to fiction with startling grace&#8221; &#8211;The Georgia Straight&#8220;A masterful debut short-story collection. . . . The stories are rich in event . . . but it&#8217;s in characterizations that Patterson shines, capturing shades of ambiguity, uncertainty and small happiness with a deft touch.&#8221; &#8211;The Vancouver Sun&#8220;Country of Cold is a terrific book. Kevin Patterson writes frequently about misfits and loners, but he presents them with such hard-edged clarity and insight that it&#8217;s impossible not to think of these people as kin. And whether it&#8217;s slapstick hilarity in a prairie Dairy Queen or the dead-serious menace of a winter storm north of the treeline, the writing is always pitch perfect.&#8221; &#8211;Michael Crummey, author of River Thieves and The Wreckage

"Classic Niles, morbid, yet smart and filled with creative new twists on the horror tropes that have burrowed deep down and taken over his brains. Damien's art is a pitch-perfect pairing.

Selected, CBC's Next Chapter with Shelagh Rogers's list of Best Summer Reads for Children and Teens, 2015"This is a nicely paced story with solid characters .... The narrative remains compelling .... [and] will be a solidly satisfying read for many middle school girls." - School Library Journal"McNicoll's story addresses a slew of important issues - including racism, self-perception, intergenerational culture clashes, bullying, and selflessness - via an engaging, multilayered plot that will give readers much to ponder. It is also refreshing to see characters from diverse cultures presented realistically, something that is still sorely lacking from most children's fiction." - Quill & Quire"Influenced by the true story of a teenager who died at a railway crossing, Sylvia McNicoll has written a supernatural fiction that aims to fill in the blanks of a tragic death .... The tone is fresh and feels present-day appropriate, challenging stereotypes, racism and how families integrate into Canadian culture. Don't be fooled by the cover; this novel takes place largely after death has occurred, though it remains lively throughout." - The Globe and Mail&ldquo;Celebrated writer Sylvia McNicoll's latest book is&#160;Best Friends Through Eternity&#160;(February), about a teen who is hit by a train and transported to a surreal world where she meets another girl who'd been killed years before.&rdquo; &mdash;&#160;&#160;&#160; &ldquo;Most Anticipated: 2015 Kids&rsquo; Books Spring Preview&rdquo;, 49th Shelf&#160;

"The stories are all over the place. They include dinosaurs, knights in shining armor, and baby Lois Lane. Silver Age stories knew no limits. Grant Morrison was able to transform predicaments like these into his modern classic, &ldquo;All-Star Superman.&rdquo; Some of it is silly. Some of it is archaic. Any Super-fan will enjoy it. Any fan of Chris Claremont and Frank Miller can appreciate the campy abyss from which they delivered us." &ndash;Fanbase Press"The Silver Age was a great time for the Man of Steel, and with these daily strips along with a great foreword and introduction, you can gain a real insight in to just what the significance and historical context of these stories were." &ndash;Flickering Myth
