Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From National Book Award finalist and the New York Times bestselling author of The Year We Left Home comes a ?powerful, beautifully crafted? (People) family saga about three generations of women who struggle to find freedom and happiness in their small Midwestern college town.A Cloud in the Shape of a Girl is a poignant novel about three generations of the Wise family?Evelyn, Laura, and Grace?as they hunt for contentment amid chaos of their own making. We see these women and their trials, small and large: social slights and heartbreaks; marital disappointments and infidelities; familial dysfunction; mortality. Spanning from World War II to the present, Thompson reveals a matrilineal love story that is so perfectly grounded in our time?a story of three women regressing, stalling, and yes, evolving, over decades. One of the burning questions she asks is: by serving her family, is a woman destined to repeat the mistakes of previous generations, or can she transcend the expectations of a place, and a time? Can she truly be free? Evelyn, Laura, and Grace are the glue that binds their family together. Tethered to their small Midwestern town?by choice or chance?Jean Thompson seamlessly weaves together the stories of the Wise women with humanity and elegance, through their heartbreaks, setbacks, triumphs, and tragedies. ?Thompson?s new novel draws the reader in with character and plot?but what ultimately holds the reader enthralled is?her ability to capture the nuance of individual moments, thoughts, and reactions. No one writing today is better at this?[an] extraordinary novel? (Washington Independent Review of Books).…

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. An alarming pattern has emerged in our modern workplace; employees have little confidence in their leaders. The unprecedented overlapping and colliding of priorities, combined with fast and furious deadlines have wreaked havoc and caused lack of engagement. Open Your Eyes and LEAD is a call-to-action, providing leaders with the development opportunity to make smarter decisions with better precision. In workplaces across the globe, people are asked to deliver quicker, better, faster, and cheaper results. However, when we are rushed for results, we tend to skim-coat our actions, leading to diluted, lower-quality efforts and mediocre outcomes. Those who are perpetually involved in fast and high-pressure situations feel tired, stressed, and become disengaged. Some even compromise their values by taking the low road instead of the high road just to get ahead or to stay ahead. Leaders who model integrity, fortitude, and nimbleness consistently create value and yield an impact that is far-reaching. Putting more emphasis on creating a positive culture allows for increased collaboration, creativity, and efficiency. When people are excited, motivated, and engaged in what they do - when they open their eyes as they lead, the result is a chain reaction of smarter decisions with better precision. Open Your Eyes and LEAD shows readers how to become this kind of positive force in the world, and how to balance and manage the omnipresent tensions as we strive for leadership excellence. This book is uniquely situated to be embraced by different audiences - those searching to gain a higher level of self-confidence, understanding, and personal advancement so that they can become mindful leaders in their own lives; current and would-be leaders in the employer arena who aspire to leadership excellence; and both undergraduate and graduate students who are training to be our world's newest leaders.…
