Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms has transformed Canadian life since it was adopted as part of the Canadian constitution in 1982. The Charter requires judges to make decisions on a wide range of issues that affect all Canadians. In doing so, the courts play a major role in citizens? lives. Because of the Charter: - The law against prostitution was struck down. - The Harper governments treatment of child soldier Omar Khadr was found to violate his rights. - Vancouver's Insite safe injection site was kept open, overriding a federal government decision requiring it to shut down. Ian Greene is a political scientist, and his focus in this book is to highlight the many significant ways the Charter shapes Canadian life. After providing background on the creation and implementation of the Charter, he describes its impact on a wide range of issues ? aboriginal affairs, voting rights, freedom of religion, the right to strike, and language rights, among others. Greene describes key decisions in these areas and comments on the often-conflicting views of the judges deciding them. Even though the Charter is a legal document, debated by lawyers and decided by judges, Greene approaches his subject with an eye on the political impact the Charter has on governments and ordinary citizens. Public discussion of the Charter is often framed around the question of who should make these important decisions ? elected politicians or unelected judges. This book provides a clear understanding of how the Charter works and how ordinary citizens have succeeded ? or failed ? to win change from the courts. It offers information that people on every side of public discussion can use regarding the role of the Charter in Canadian life.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. This unique and important guidebook is a single, comprehensive source of information and advice to help women (and some men) at high risk for breast and for ovarian cancer because of family history and genetic profile. One part memoir, three parts how to manual, Positive Results explains in a clear and steady manner the myths and realities of the breast cancer genes. It lays out all the options in easy-to-follow, compassionate language. It will help women and men decide if they want to pursue genetic testing, guide them in interpreting their test results, and give them a sound basis for making the life-saving decisions required to manage their risks. Authors Joi Morris and Dr. Ora Karp Gordon cover all of the latest medical options, including genetic testing for breast cancer risk, breast cancer surveillance, assessing risk, mastectomy and breast reconstruction techniques, ovarian cancer surveillance, surgery, managing menopause, and cancer risks in men who carry mutations on BRCA genes. Along the way, Joi tells her personal story and that of other women and men who have made the gut-wrenching decisions required to survive in this world of astronomical risk. At the age of forty-two, Joi learned that she has a genetic mutation on a gene known as BRCA2. The test results meant that her risk of getting breast cancer could be as high as 84 percent by age seventy, and that her risk for ovarian cancer was also high. Compounding her risk was the fact that her mother had developed breast cancer in her forties. After much research and consultation, the result of which is this book, Joi made the difficult decision of undergoing prophylactic mastectomies. This straightforward and practical approach combined with the poignant personal experience of a woman at risk facing these challenging decisions will provide readers with the feeling that they have had the benefit of a long conversation with both a trusted physician and a friend who has just gone through the same uncertainties they are facing.…

The result of that decision has caused Sandy to become one of the nation's top independent financial advisors, with a passion for helping those nearing or in retirement to be able to maximize their Social Security benefits. Two stories illustrate all the reader needs to know about Sandy, her expertise, her passion and her commitment. The first tells of a man who came to see Sandy in her Tampa, Fl offices. He opened the door to the boardroom, saying, Don't bother to get up. I have been wanting to stop by and say thank you. If it had not been for your help last year, I would have lost my home.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Living by Choice was written to help us better understand the power of our choices and that our choices not only define who we are today, but ultimately the type of person we turn out to be.

The book stresses that each of us has the personal responsibility of managing our life and that we do so--effectively or otherwise--through the choices we make. The truth is . . . most of us are so busy with our daily routines that we seldom stop to think about what is required to manage our lives effectively. We tend to live our lives one day at a time without an overall strategy for how best to do so. Many of us live without a clear insight into how our choices define who we are and ultimately what we achieve. To bring this subject into greater focus . . . Living by Choice was written to motivate individuals, younger ones and older ones, to stop and consider the choices they are making in their lives.

For those who want to make personal notes for later reference, space is provided at the end of each section. We are indeed who we choose to be and Living by Choice serves as an important reminder of this fact.…
