How to grow the flowers : a sustainable approach to enjoying flowers through the seasons / by Mogendorff, Marianne,author.; Bonser-Shaw, Aloha,photographer.; Romain, Camila,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Growing flowers to cut and enjoy at home can sharpen our awareness of the world around us and make us more attuned to nature.

Corporate control / by Loreto, Nora,1984-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."How deep does corporate dominance go in Canada? The second book in Nora Loreto's landmark series dives into the corporate web spun around Canada's economy, society, and politics. The joke goes that Canada is three mining companies in a trench coat. Or three oil companies in a trench coat. Or three telecom companies in a trench coat. It's funny because it's almost true: there are only a few corporations that exert a disproportionate amount of power over Canadian democracy. Corporate profits are at a record high, and the divide between the rich and poor has never been wider. Canadians are struggling with affordability, a housing crisis, and wages that don't cover basic needs. The combination of these forces is a pressure cooker that politicians have promised to tackle, except they can't: they are too restricted by corporate power to confront the roots of the problems that Canadians face. The first book in the Canada in Decline series examined the rise and fall of Canada's social safety net. In this next volume, Corporate Control, activist, author, and journalist Nora Loreto goes further, identifying why Canadian politicians seem impotent in the face of corporate Canada."--

The case for climate capitalism : economic solutions for a planet in crisis / by Rand, Tom,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The left and right -- the business community and environmentalists, bankers and activists -- must together reclaim capitalism and force profits to align with the planet. A warming climate and a general distrust of Wall Street has opened a new cultural divide: anti-market critics from Naomi Klein to the Pope target capitalism itself as a root cause of climate change, while neo-conservatives who diminish the climate threat are in favor of market fundamentalism. Rand argues that both sides in this emerging cultural war are ill-equipped to provide solutions to the climate crisis, and each is remarkably naïve in their view of capitalism. On one hand, we cannot possibly transition off fossil fuels without the financial might and entrepreneurial talent market forces alone can unlock. On the other, without radical changes to the way markets operate, capitalism will take us right off the climate cliff. Rejecting the old left/right ideologies, Rand develops a more pragmatic view capable of delivering practical solutions to this critical problem. A renewed capitalism harnessed to the task is the only way we might replace fossil fuels fast enough to mitigate severe climate risk. If we leave our dogma at the door, Rand argues, we might just build an economy that survives the century."-- Provided by publisher.
