Synopsis Alberta's Local Governments: Politics and Democracy by : Jack Masson

During the last decade, Alberta municipalities have endured hardships they have not faced since the Great Depression. Changes in the province's political structures appear to have been made primarily to transfer a greater share of the costs of local government to the municipalities, yet surprisingly few municipal politicians have resisted the province's financial policies.

Synopsis Mammoth Books presents Life in the Anthropocene by : Paul Di Filippo

Indebted to Gaia Vince's New Scientist article 'Surviving in a Warmer World', Paul di Filippo's story depicts the life of Aurbindo Bandjalang in the climate change-ravaged planet of the Anthropocene Age. A member of the Reboot Civilisation, 'AB' is part of a new configuration of humanity, nine billion people crowded together in densely populated, high-rise areas on the quarter of the Earth's present-day land mass that remains above water. Di Filippo imagines a world in which the Earth's resources are pushed to their very limits and the human race, while dependent on the all-powerful Sun for its survival, is also subject to its devastating effect on Earth's climate.

Synopsis Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour by : David Canter

For a practical, hands-on approach to learning forensic psychology, Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour: Ten Studies for Students presents a collection of unique projects for students that illustrate the many ways research into anti-social behaviour can be conducted whilst also highlighting social psychological aspects of criminality. Drawing on over half a century of supervising many hundreds of projects at high school, undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels, David Canter provides well-grounded and detailed guidance for students on how to execute a range of different research studies through several psychological approaches, including quantitative cognitive studies, qualitative discourse analysis, and social identity theory. After introducing the ethical and practical challenges of studying crime and criminality, Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour outlines broad approaches to research. This is followed by ten practical studies for students to carry out in order to engage directly with experimental research. These studies cover experiments, surveys, and case studies, and include a controlled examination of how easy it is to forge a signature, descriptions of experiments trying to detect deception, and an exploration of what is involved in linking actions in a serial killer’s crimes to his characteristics. Both engaging and interactive, Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour is an invaluable resource for instructors and students from colleges and universities around the world in many different fields, such as psychology, criminology, and socio-legal studies. It will also be of interest to all those who want to know more about the psychology of crime and criminality.

Synopsis Chronicles of Greenwood by : Christopher Nokes

Chronicles of Greenwood, Book Three: Greenwood By: Christopher Nokes Chronicles of Greenwood, Book Three: Greenwood, finds Harley and Company enjoying a new life in Greenwood Forest. Every member of Greenwood lives in their own treehouse created by the self-proclaimed brilliant designers, Madame du Mouse and Pan (architects and designers). We know now that Harley and Company may be stuffed animals, but they are very real, personal superheroes of children. As such they are not only alive, but also possess superpowers and human attributes like strength, bravery, genius, and can even fly. Zip-lines, sky-bridges, rope ladders, spiral staircases, rope and pulley elevators, and parasails, keep lines of communication open in Greenwood. All seems bright and beautiful, that is until the mysterious appearance of Dawdle, a Technicolor nightmare. Far more disconcerting is Peter`s growing isolation from the Company and his secretive behaviour. Why does Peter remain so secretive? What is it about Riversend that caused Cee Bear, the Company archivist and historian, to say that none who ventured there ever returned? CB also revealed that Riversend possessed horrors beyond comprehension. What horrors? Riverrun remains the fixed symbol and connection to an old life, old memories and old dreams, while Greenwood Forest is an expanding symbol of a new life, new memories and new dreams.
