&#147; Billy Bishop is a high-flying ace of a show, capturing the humour, the hellfire and the derring-do of an extraordinary career &#133; The score is filled with vintage replicas of the kind of songs that sent men rushing in&#151;and out&#151;of battle. There are martial airs, barracksroom ditties, Kiplingesque tunes of glory, Gilbert and Sullivan-like patter songs and also a bitter brew of Brecht-Weill.&#8221;&#151; New York Times&#147; Billy Bishop Goes to War is a delightful&#151;and cunningly wrought&#151;work of art.&#8221;&#151; New Yorker&#147;A landmark of the Canadian theatre &#133; John Gray&#8217;s success with Billy Bishop lies in the universality of the human individual&#151;a universality that works precisely because Gray has kept the show on one-individual terms. He creates and deflates the hero myth in the same gesture.&#8221;&#151; Vancouver Sun

"Educating Muslim Women is a unique study of Muslim women told through the story of Nana Asma’u, a nineteenth-century Fulani woman from Northern Nigeria who became a renowned scholar and greatly impacted Muslim women in Nigeria and beyond. Drawing on history, literary analysis, and ethnography, the volume’s slimness belies a wealth of material that will interest historians, applied linguists, and even sociologists of contemporary Muslim communities." – American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews:
"As narrator, Cooke speaks with earnestness and clarity while employing language and syntax that are poetic and filled with obvious love of these giants. Hsieh's double-page-spread illustrations, done in gorgeous tones of browns, yellows, and greens, add a dreamlike element.... Informative and breathtakingly beautiful." June 1, 2018

'This book is the one scholars and students should turn to for the much needed analysis of the key theoretical concepts in Foucault’s work--concepts such as power, subjectivity, resistance and critique. It also provides a sustained defense of the consistency of Foucault’s views over time. Kelly has succeeded in grasping Foucault from the inside out.'– David Weberman, Central European University, Hungary

&ldquo;Many people don&rsquo;t realize that the most important time for doing things to improve the chances for having a healthy pregnancy outcome is actually before conceiving that pregnancy. Before Your Pregnancy is a wonderful and invaluable resource for couples planning a pregnancy. I highly recommend this book.&rdquo; &mdash;Peter Bernstein, MD, MPH, Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology and Women&rsquo;s Health, Director of the Fellowship Program in Maternal Fetal Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine &#160; &ldquo;Optimal preconceptional care is essential for a successful pregnancy. As Amy Ogle and Lisa Mazzullo have shown, in this beautifully executed book, there is much more to preconceptional care than folic acid supplementation. This is a comprehensive piece that synthesizes all of the important medical, dietary, and lifestyle considerations for families anticipating pregnancy. Before Your Pregnancy is a wonderful resource that I will be thrilled to share with my patients.&rdquo; &mdash;Clarissa Bonanno, MD, Columbia University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology &#160; &ldquo;Before Your Pregnancy is a comprehensive, refreshing, and contemporary review of the complex issues that impact women and their pregnancies. With so much misinformation concerning pregnancy now available 24/7 on the Internet and other media outlets, this book should be required reading for women planning a pregnancy and their health care providers. It is well written and evidence based and is an enjoyable and educational read. I wholeheartedly recommend it!&rdquo; &mdash;Lee P. Shulman, MD, The Anna Ross Lapham Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University &#160; &ldquo;Before Your Pregnancy will be recommended to all my fertility patients as an evidenced based, friendly, participative guide to a successful conception and healthy pregnancy. It is by far the most complete resource I have reviewed, and I am certain it will provide a great benefit to many couples and the health of their future children!&rdquo; &mdash;Judy Simon, MS, RD, CD, CHES, Fertility Nutrition Specialist, Mind Body Nutrition PLLC and University of Washington Medical Center &#160; &ldquo;I congratulate the author-clinicians for delivering this comprehensive, up-to-date, evidence-based medical guide to optimizing a couple&rsquo;s health in order to achieve the best possible outcome for their pregnancy. Every patient in my practice could benefit from reading this book.&rdquo; &mdash;Christopher Sipe, MD, Fertility Center of Illinois &#160; &ldquo;What makes this book a standout is the encouraging tone. I have read many books about pregnancy and fertility, and this one feels like the advice that a caring, trusted friend would give you. Infertility is a stressful and emotional issue, and this book eases your mind at the same time that it arms you with the knowledge and information you need to prepare your body and mind for pregnancy. Whether you have struggled with infertility or not, Before Your Pregnancy is a valuable resource for women whose goal is to be healthy and (eventually!) pregnant.&rdquo; &mdash;Margaret G. &#160; &ldquo;Finally! A comprehensive yet easy-to-read book to help women and men prepare emotionally and physically for the joy of pregnancy! I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about having a baby, including my clients who have PCOS or struggle with eating disorders and body-weight issues.&rdquo; &mdash;Angela Grassi, MS, RD, LDN, co-author of The PCOS Workbook: Your Guide to Complete Physical and Emotional Health and author of The Dietitian&rsquo;s Guide to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome &#160; &ldquo;A comprehensive and informative book serving as a knowledge source for nurse practitioners and women of childbearing age. Before Your Pregnancy is something I&rsquo;ll share with my graduate students.&rdquo; &mdash;Janie Daddario, MSN, WHNP, Director of the Women&rsquo;s Health Nurse Practitioner Program, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing &#160; &ldquo;Ogle, a registered dietician, exercise physiologist, and ACE-certified personal trainer, and Mazzullo, an OB-GYN, wrote the first edition of this book in 2002. Here, they present the latest information and research to help couples prepare their bodies, minds, and bank accounts for the arrival of a child. The authors begin with chapters that help couples examine their stress levels, lifestyle habits, and home and work environments. They move on to how to choose a doctor or midwife, medical conditions affecting conception, genetic factors, chronic health conditions, and things that men can do to assure conception. Good nutrition, exercise, and the right drugs and supplements are vital for both partners, the authors hold. There is also coverage of infertility issues. Appendixes offer income and expense worksheets, dietary reference intake charts, charts for tracking menstrual cycles, and resources for safety information. VERDICT An outstanding book that fills a gap in public and consumer health library collections. There are many books on pregnancy and infertility, but none addresses preparation for conception in depth as this one does.&rdquo; &mdash;Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., CA, Library Journal

Praise for Meantime&#147;Noel&#8217;s second perceptive, character-driven novel delves into multiple relationships and how they ebb and flow over the years . . . Noel writes with empathy and precision about the minutiae of the lives of her characters, drawing her readers immediately into their interwoven stories.&#8221; &#151;Booklist&#147;An unflinching autopsy of the heart, laying bare the raw emotions that push us to reconfigure, again and again, our senses of family.&#8221; &#151;Kirkus Reviews&#147;Noel beautifully captures the difficulties and insecurities that make up marriage, sisterhood, and how our upbringing bleeds into our adulthood. Doubt and rediscovery abound in this heartfelt and heartbreaking story, showing how family can both bring us together and tear us apart.&#8221; &#151;Library Journal&#147;Katharine Noel&#8217;s characters display the kind of rare authenticity that makes you certain that you&#8217;ve met them in real life. Meantime is a shrewd and funny novel about the fragile lines that divide vulnerability from self-protection, loyalty from betrayal, and about the tiny choices that can make or unmake a friendship, a marriage, a family.&#8221; &#151;Carolyn Parkhurst, author of Harmony and the New York Times bestseller The Dogs of Babel&#147;I&#8217;m always looking for (and hardly ever finding) a book to lure me in, keep me from cleaning out the pantry, paying bills, writing to my aunt. But Meantime is exactly this. Katharine Noel brings onto the page characters so vibrant you almost want to step out of their way as they stumble through their sorrows, armed only with gallows humor. Noel understands a fundamental truth: that in fiction as in life, tragedy can brake for comedy, but comedy brakes for nothing.&#8221; &#151;Carol Anshaw, author of the New York Times bestseller Carry the One&#147;Noel is an expert at creating scenes and characters that feel undeniably real. In Meantime I was fully invested in the complex, funny, and unpredictable character Claire Hood&#151;her strange history, devastating present, and uncertain future. This is a novel with edge and heart, and I loved every exquisite sentence.&#8221; &#151;Kaui Hart Hemmings, author of How to Party With an Infant and the New York Times bestseller The Descendants

Praise for Friends in High Places:Winner of the Crime Writers Association Macallan Silver Dagger Award for Fiction&#147;Beautifully written and immaculately plotted, Friends in High Places is further proof still that Leon can do no wrong.&#8221;&#151;Scotsman&#147;Carefully plotted and full of colorful as well as sinister characters, this is crime writing of the highest order: powerful, relevant and all too full of human failings.&#8221;&#151;Guardian (UK)&#147;All Donna Leon&#8217;s novels are excellent in their evocation of place, while in Brunetti she has created a character who . . . becomes more real in each book. Friends in High Places is, however, by far the best, and marks a quantum leap forward.&#8221;&#151;Evening Standard (London)&#147;Leon&#8217;s best so far . . . I don&#8217;t think I could really understand a crime fan who didn&#8217;t love Donna Leon.&#8221;&#151;Scotland on Sunday&#147;Leon is a skilful plotter . . . Brunetti is a nicely shaded creation, a moral man who is also all too human. Friends in High Places is a splendid read, clever and provoking.&#8221;&#151;Observer (UK)&#147;Friends in High Places [is an] elegant police procedural set in beautifully imagined Venice.&#8221;&#151;Sunday Times (UK)
