'Enough to Keep Them Alive' explores the history of the development and administration of social assistance policies on Indian reserves in Canada from confederation to the modern period, demonstrating a continuity of policy with roots in the pre-confederation practices of fur trading companies.

The war between Humanity and the Martian invaders continues! Despite the advanced technology of the aliens, which has allowed them to overrun and occupy large parts of Earth, the plucky humans, using ingenuity and raw courage have begun to turn the tide. But even after six years of bloody conflict, the Martians have not given up. Though their recent plan to link up their forces in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East was thwarted, they now have a new plan which will strike deep into the heart of Europe. Much depends upon the success of this plan, but the Martians must now also deal with widening cracks within their own ranks.In the face of this new threat Winston Churchill must forge the fragile conglomeration of nations he used to stop the earlier Martian assault along the Dardanelles into a mighty Grand Alliance capable of meeting and beating the terrible alien tripod machines and searing heat rays in open battle. New weapons and new strategies will help, but victory will be in the hands of the men and women in the front lines. The fate of Mankind may well be decided along the banks of the Vistula River.

It is April of 1948 as Marty Toliver, her pilot husband, his father, and two children fly high above a snow-encrusted landscape. With their 1937 Grunman Goose airplane filled with camping gear and enough food to feed five people for two weeks, the family is more than ready for their adventure near a Calgary lake. But when the plane encounters an unexpected storm, everything changes in an instant. Moments later, Marty crawls from the planes wreckage to find herself stranded in a mountain wilderness with two small children, completely unprepared for such a catastrophe. Marty is determined to do everything she can to keep her children alive in a desolate, cold, and unfamiliar environment. As she struggles with the strenuous tasks required to survive, she must rely on her novice hunting, butchering, and plant gathering skills. Soon, Marty realizes that rescuers are not coming; it is up to her to find a way out of the deep mountain valley and back home. But she is about to discover that her mission may be more difficult than she ever imagined. In this tale of survival, one woman must become what she has always considered savage in order to survive and keep her children alive.

A fascinating and unprecedented ethnography of animal sanctuaries in the United States In the past three decades, animal rights advocates have established everything from elephant sanctuaries in Africa to shelters that rehabilitate animals used in medical testing, to homes for farmed animals, abandoned pets, and entertainment animals that have outlived their “usefulness.” Saving Animals is the first major ethnography to focus on the ethical issues animating the establishment of such places, where animals who have been mistreated or destined for slaughter are allowed to live out their lives simply being animals. Based on fieldwork at animal rescue facilities across the United States, Elan Abrell asks what “saving,” “caring for,” and “sanctuary” actually mean. He considers sanctuaries as laboratories where caregivers conceive and implement new models of caring for and relating to animals. He explores the ethical decision making around sanctuary efforts to unmake property-based human–animal relations by creating spaces in which humans interact with animals as autonomous subjects. Saving Animals illustrates how caregivers and animals respond by cocreating new human–animal ecologies adapted to the material and social conditions of the Anthropocene. Bridging anthropology with animal studies and political philosophy, Saving Animals asks us to imagine less harmful modes of existence in a troubled world where both animals and humans seek sanctuary.

Dragonflies and damselflies are conspicuous insects: many are large and brightly coloured. They are also valuable indicators of environmental wellbeing. A detailed knowledge of the dragonfly fauna is therefore an important basis for decisions about environmental protection and management. This comprehensive guide to the Australian dragonfly fauna covers eight families of dragonflies and 10 families of damselflies, comprising the 113 genera and 333 species found in Australia. It has been updated with newly identified species and revised family names to reflect new world consensus systematics. Stunning full-colour images and distribution maps are accompanied by identification keys for adults as well as larvae, which are often used as bait for freshwater fish. This second edition of The Complete Field Guide to Dragonflies of Australia also includes illustrations by Albert Orr, one of the most renowned dragonfly illustrators. The extraordinary diversity of dragonflies will interest entomologists and amateur naturalists alike.
