The Opposite House

Finalist for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political WritingA Globe and Mail Best BookA National Post Best Book"A jaunty, well-written manual for how to fail in politics. . . . Mr. Richler paints a warm picture of his shambolic campaign." &mdash;The Globe and Mail&#160;"[Richler's] self-awareness is what makes his account, at times as chaotic as the campaign itself, so compelling. By the end, readers can't help but conclude that every suspicion, hope and clich&eacute; about politics is both true and false." &mdash;Maclean&rsquo;s"Richler takes readers through a humourous look at the ins and outs of a political campaign by combining his reminiscences with Facebook posts, Twitter conversations, a Shakespearean parody, daydreams, op-eds and even commentaries from volunteers. . . . The Candidate is a fascinating look at the election process,&#160;if somewhat dispiriting in its disclosure of how it works." &mdash;Toronto Star"[Richler] has penned an insightful, often scathing, always self-deprecating account of his brief foray into Canadian politics.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. The Candidate is one of the more droll yet heartfelt accounts of the Canadian electoral process, and one that would have doubtless left his dad proud." &mdash;Montreal Gazette&#160;"The Candidate is as engaging as any book written about Canadian politics in a long time. Unsurprisingly, the quality of Richler's writing far surpasses that of the typical Canadian political memoir. . . . He doesn't seem to be holding anything back."&#160;&mdash;Quill & Quire"The Candidate&#160;is a groundbreaking Canadian political memoir because of its honesty. . . . [Richler is] open and funny about what it's like to door-knock, and he's insecure, over-confident, sarcastic and very witty, sometimes all at the same time, about life on the campaign trail. This is&#160;a refreshingly&#160;funny, well-written account of what it's like to run for federal office in this country, from the ground." &mdash;The&#160;Hill&#160;Times

“The book is nicely edited, informative, and its chapters are of a good length with numerous nice color figures … . It is an important book that is the product of the first attempt to produce a strong and balanced overview of the current state of volcano tourism research. I would say that the book reaches this goal, and I recommend the book to anyone who wishes to work on volcanic geoheritage, volcano tourism, or even in volcano geoconservation projects.” (Károly Németh, Bulletin of Volcanology, Vol. 78, 2016)“As the title implies, this book, part of the ‘Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism’ series, explores the relationship between volcanic landscapes and their role in volcano-based geotourism. … All discussions are well referenced and supported by excellent color photographs, geologic maps, graphs, tables, and charts. … The overall value of this book is its comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of the international volcano tourism sector. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries.” (J. B. Huffman, Choice, Vol. 52 (11), July, 2015)

"The spirit of Joseph Conrad . . . haunts Philip Caputo's adventure-filled story." --The New York Times Book Review"The pages billow and snap with tension." --The Boston Globe"A sea story in the grand tradition of Conrad and Melville, this shamelessly salty and unbearably exciting novel is a welcome reminder that imagination transports us where facts cannot, that adventure created by a master storyteller can make reality seem tame." --Daily News"A high seas classic combined with a mystery." --San Francisco Chronicle

Learning without Burden

&ldquo;A delightfully entertaining, instructive, and useful book&mdash;one that reminds us that mathematics can be both stimulating and extremely handy. From understanding designs in the natural world to the reason manhole covers are round; from probability in poker to the perplexing Monty Hall Problem; and from the geometry of the Spirograph to the geometrical aesthetics of Raphael, Da Vinci, and Albrecht D&uuml;rer, The Mathematics of Everyday Life unveils seeming mysteries while teaching us shortcuts to problem solving and how to see things from a new perspective&mdash;in sum, how to think logically and mathematically.&rdquo;&mdash;Scott Krawczyk, PhD, dean, Richard L. Conolly College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, LIU Brooklyn&ldquo;Spectacular!&#160;Once again, Alfred S. Posamentier and Christian Spreitzer have reached into their rich reservoir of numerical knowledge to explain the beauty and eloquence of mathematics. They take us on a vigorous voyage, helping us to understand how math can help us solve problems of everyday life.&#160;Even those of us who are &lsquo;not good at math&rsquo; will appreciate how important the basic principles they describe so well are to our daily experiences.&rdquo;&mdash;Allen I. Hyman, MD, FCCM, Professor Emeritus of Anesthesiology, Columbia University in the City of New York&ldquo;This book is fun! Even for those of us whose study of mathematics was some time ago, the examples and puzzles are easy to understand. We are offered really useful ways of using math in shopping (what is a genuine discount?), converting miles to kilometers&#160;(useful when traveling abroad), and completing a host of other everyday tasks. I particularly liked the authors&rsquo; insistence that using our own &lsquo;built-in computer&rsquo;&mdash;our brain&mdash;is more fun than using our phone or other devices for everyday calculations. I hope many people read the book and agree with that advice.&rdquo;&mdash;Baroness Pauline Perry, formerly Her Majesty&rsquo;s Chief Inspector of Education&ldquo;Almost everything is math! That&rsquo;s what Posamentier and Spreitzer would like to reveal to us. Wherever you look&mdash;in paintings, sports, nature, shopping, or gambling&mdash;all of it works with math. Surprising, astonishing, entertaining...This new book tells you all about your unknown life with math. Whether or not you like math, you will like this book.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Gerhard Ackermann, PhD, professor and retired president, Beuth University of Applied Sciences, Berlin
