Book Description
This magnificent second volume, written with exclusive access to Trudeau’s private papers and letters, completes what the Globe and Mail called “the most illuminating Trudeau portrait yet written” — sweeping us from sixties’ Trudeaumania to his final days when he debated his faith. His life is one of Canada’s most engrossing stories. John English reveals how for Trudeau style was as important as substance, and how the controversial public figure intertwined with the charismatic private man and committed father. He traces Trudeau’s deep friendships (with women especially, many of them talented artists, like Barbra Streisand) and bitter enmities; his marriage and family tragedy. He illuminates his strengths and weaknesses — from Trudeaumania to political disenchantment, from his electrifying response to the kidnappings during the October Crisis, to his all-important patriation of the Canadian Constitution, and his evolution to influential elder statesman.

Book Description
How can we remember Pierre Trudeau? Let Zolf count the ways. First he was the wisest (or the wiliest?) of the Wise Men, the Philosopher King with the potion of "Reason Above Passion." Then he was the star of Trudeaumania, "our permanent Expo": suddenly Canada had a prime minister who could surf, shrug, frug, flip and flirt. In 1970 there was the macho Trudeau of War Measures, daring a nation of pantywaists to "Just Watch Me." More roles followed. With so many masks, the fifteenth prime minister bedazzled the people for sixteen years, when suddenly they awoke to ask, "What did he do to us?" Written as Trudeau retired from active politics, illustrated with dozens of photographs chronicling his career, Just Watch Me is a fascinating record of the career of one of Canada's most enigmatic leaders.

Book Description
When Grammy-nominated recording artist Matthew West started writing his top-selling new album, The Story of Your Life(Sparrow, 2010) he asked fans to submit personal experiences. More than 10,000 tales of hope, perseverance, and redemption poured in. With friend and author Angela Thomas, West presents some of these powerful stories paired with meaningful devotions they inspired. Wendy gave birth to her daughter in jail. When all seemed hopeless, she found God and her life transformed into something beautiful. Cory, a married youth pastor, had an affair and his life fell apart. With God’s mercy, he and his wife gathered the broken pieces and started again. Sheila always struggled with severe insecurity. Now she lives confidently in the purpose God has for her. This unforgettable devotional journey inspires readers to discover God as the author of their unique lives and to share the power of their story. Also available this season—a companion DVD of the same title and a standalone guide, The Story of Your Life Interactive Journey. The DVD and book help readers, individually or as part of a group study, personalize and explore more deeply the messages of God’s hope and redemption in their own stories.

Book Description
"The paradigm of a journey from observation to hypothesis testing and then onward to fulfil Koch's postulates. The discovery 40 years ago of the Helicobacter Pylori organism was a paradigm shift in many ways. Perhaps most importantly as it indicated that the host and the organism have a complex interaction which can lead to disease, not only chronic infection, autoimmunity, but also several forms of cancer. As an adjunctive benefit it showed that we should question any disease causation assumptions which are not evidence based, Stress as a cause of ulcers being the best example. The journey was long in that it took time to assemble the epidemiological, bacteriological, clinical, oncological teams. The result was, and still is, to provide the only cure for a condition in gastroenterology, peptic ulcer disease. The benefits also included alleviation of dyspepsia, cures of low grade gastric MALTOMA's and prevention of epithelial tumors of the gastric antrum. This discovery has spawned new interest in fields of research outside the infection inflammation cancer sequence, including probiotics, antibiotic resistance, and modulation of host-bacterial interactions. As I reflect on my career's narrative above, I am therefore glad to see such a large array of multidisciplinary experts working together in this endeavour of Gastrointestinal Oncology: A Critical Multidisciplinary Team Approach. Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) encompassing esophagus, stomach and colorectum make up a significant proportion of cancers diagnosed worldwide and contribute to a considerable burden of disability-adjusted life years and years of life lost. (Kocarnik et al., 2022) The increase of GIT malignancies has been linearly associated with the human development index (HDI), likely due to the adoption of an affluent lifestyle with an increase in the consumption of processed meat, fast food, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and increasing alcohol consumption. Obesity has become a worldwide pandemic and has been linked to the development of GIT cancers through multiple genetic and epigenetic microenvironment changes. Excess adipokines in obesity mediate a state of chronic inflammation resulting in the activation of multiple pathways that promote carcinogenesis. The understanding of the epidemiology and predisposing factors to GIT cancers is crucial in the development of early detection strategies. Screening efforts such as colonoscopy has reduced the burden of CRC worldwide. Similarly, screening of gastric cancers which has been adopted in Japan and Korea has reduced the numbers as well as improved the survival of gastric cancer. In this chapter, we will discuss the epidemiology, global time trends, burden of disease, risk factors of esophageal, gastric and intestinal cancer and strategies to reduce the incidence of these malignancies"--

Book Description
In 1971, authorities in West Pakistan, now Pakistan, perpetrated mass atrocities in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. The West and the Birth of Bangladesh explores responses in Washington, Ottawa, and London during the crucial first months of the crisis, investigating the debates and policies pursued. The United States favoured appeasement of Islamabad. Canada was unwilling to hazard bilateral ties with Pakistan. The UK showed greater willingness to coerce Islamabad into ending its oppression. This insightful book reveals how, even as human rights movements began to emerge in the West, government actors there remained too preoccupied with national interests to take firm action during the crisis.
