Knowing, The An Indigenous Lens on Canadian History [electronic resource] : by Talaga, Tanya.aut; Talaga, Tanya.nrt; cloudLibrary;
From Tanya Talaga, the critically acclaimed and award-winning author of Seven Fallen Feathers, comes a riveting exploration of her family’s story and a retelling of the history of the country we now call Canada For generations, Indigenous People have known that their family members disappeared, many of them after being sent to residential schools, “Indian hospitals” and asylums through a coordinated system designed to destroy who the First Nations, Métis and Inuit people are. This is one of Canada’s greatest open secrets, an unhealed wound that until recently lay hidden by shame and abandonment. The Knowing is the unfolding of Canadian history unlike anything we have ever read before. Award-winning and bestselling Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga retells the history of this country as only she can—through an Indigenous lens, beginning with the life of her great-great grandmother Annie Carpenter and her family as they experienced decades of government- and Church-sanctioned enfranchisement and genocide. Deeply personal and meticulously researched, The Knowing is a seminal unravelling of the centuries-long oppression of Indigenous People that continues to reverberate in these communities today.  Whether you're a history buff, a sociology teacher, or simply interested in learning more about Indigenous rights and social justice, The Knowing is a gift that will deepen your understanding of the world we live in.

Rules for second chances / by North, Maggie,author.;
"Brimming with heart and heat, Rules for Second Chances explores the hardest relationship question of all: can true love happen twice ... with the same person? Liz Lewis has tried everything to be what people want. But she's always been labelled different from everyone else in the boisterous world of wilderness expeditions-that is, if anyone notices her at all. Her marriage to popular adventure guide Tobin Renner-Lewis is a sinkhole of toxic positivity where she's the only one saying no. In a mountain resort town built around excitement, introverted Liz gets ... spreadsheets. When she gets mistaken for a server at her own thirtieth birthday party and her last line of communication with Tobin finally snaps, Liz vows to stop playing a minor character in her own life. The (incredibly well-researched and scientific) plan? A crash course in confidence ... via improv comedy class. The catch? She's terrible at it, and the only person willing to practice with her is a certain extroverted wilderness guide who seems dead set on saving their marriage one bonkers improv scenario at a time. But as Liz and Tobin get closer ( ... again), she's forced to confront all the reasons they didn't work the first time, along with her growing suspicion that there might be more to her social awkwardness than anyone realized. Liz has just eight weeks to learn improv's most important lesson-"yes, and"-or she'll have to choose between the love she always wanted and the dreams that got away"--

How to menopause : take charge of your health, reclaim your life, and feel even better than before / by Fadal, Tamsen,author.;
"Menopause needs a rebrand. Like it or not, women are finding themselves in the middle of a global transition: by 2025, 1.1 billion women will be in menopause. There's been nothing like it since the women's movement caught fire in the late 60s and early 70s, and the call for change is coming from women themselves. In 2021, journalist Tamsen Fadal took off her makeup and revealed her menopause struggles on TikTok. Since then, her #GRWM authenticity has garnered over three million engaged followers across platforms who reach out to her daily, eager for encouragement and advice on how to make their lives better, while navigating the misinformation and lack of education in the medical system. This book, Tamsen says, is for them. With over 50 interviews with experts across the menopause space, this book prepares readers for menopause-mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and helps them navigate the path to empowerment in the process. HOW TO MENOPAUSE is for the whole woman who just so happens to be dealing with menopause. Until women understand what's happening to our bodies, we won't feel like ourselves. Fadal offers well-researched, clear advice on handling all of your symptoms-physical and emotional-alongside prescriptions for actionable, achievable goals that enables us to reinvent ourselves in midlife-to get stronger, sexier, bolder, and more centered. She teaches readers how to advocate for themselves, to take control of their bodies, face their fears, learn what to let go of and what to hold onto fiercely"--

Life without diabetes : the definitive guide to understanding and reversing type 2 diabetes / by Taylor, Roy,1952-author.; Alberti, George,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.From the global pioneer whose work inspired The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet, a Iife-changing guide to reversing type 2 diabetes. For centuries type 2 diabetes has been regarded as an incurable, lifelong condition - a case of 'Abandon hope all yet who enter here'. Now, thanks to Professor Roy Taylor, there is a way out to reversing the fastest growing disease in the world. After years of studying the causes of diabetes, in 2006 Professor Taylor and his team at Newcastle University finally found the 'missing piece in the scientific jigsaw', a Eureka moment that launched a multi-million-dollar trial involving 280 type 2 diabetics from around the United Kingdom. In 2018 they published the remarkable, life-changing results. In Life Without Diabetes, Professor Taylor presents the definitive guide to understanding and reversing type 2. In simple and accessible language, he deconstructs the complex workings of the body as an energy system, illustrates how our modern lifestyle has interfered with the mechanics of this process and offers a surprisingly simple solution, in the form of the 3-step program he developed with his team of researchers, also known as the 'Newcastle Diet'. Professor Taylor's aim is to transform the treatment of type 2 diabetes across the globe. In this book, he not only points anyone with type 2 towards a return to full health, but offers practical and proven advice on how to enjoy life and remain free of the disease - for good.
