  The Bylaw State

  Encampment Evictions and the Struggle for Public Space

  Alexandra Flynn, Joe Hermer

  This book shows how municipal bylaws have emerged over the past two decades as the method of governing homelessness in Canada, creating an exclusionary ideal of public space through evictions and banishment. The authors make a powerful case for a more inclusive approach that protects people not just spaces.

  Like a River Divides the Earth

  Dora Dueck

  Simply luminous in their discernment and precision, the five stories in this collection explore complicated family tensions and misunderstandings, and complex ideas of faith and love. Ranging from the contemporary to the historical, from England and British Columbia to Russia and Germany to Brazil, the stories follow thoughtful and perceptive characters, some on the verge of adulthood and others at the end of life, but all living and contemplating lives of both estrangement and connection.
