Together, a forest : drawing connections between nature's diversity and our own / by MacLean, Roz.;
"Explore a forest with a curious classroom in this breathtaking new picture book by the author of the beloved More Than Words, and experience the essential beauty of diversity in humanity and nature. Joy and her peers are eager to visit a nearby forest for a class trip. But Joy's excitement quickly turns into anxiety when she is asked to choose one thing in the area for a school assignment. Seeing her classmates connecting with the natural environment, Joy discovers how each of their choices reflect the ways they relate to and interact with the world. Together, a Forest begins as an exciting journey into nature and blossoms into a meditation on how our unique personalities and ways of being help create a more vibrant and beautiful world. The forest reveals that everyone--including those of us with disabilities and neurodivergence--belong to nature. There is no one right way for a mind, body, or person to be. Perfect for classrooms and home libraries with accessible social-emotional and STEM themes, this picture book highlights the importance of interdependence, inclusion and celebrating diversity in our communities."--

Get up! : why your chair is killing you and what you can do about it / by Levine, James A.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From the director of the Mayo Clinic and inventor of the treadmill desk, a fascinating wake-up call about our sedentary lifestyle"--Provided by publisher."That the average adult spends 50 to 70 percent of their day sitting is no surprise to anyone who works in an office environment. But few realize the health consequences they are suffering as a result of modernity's increasingly sedentary lifestyle, or the effects it has had on society at large. In Get Up! , health expert James A. Levine's original scientific research shows that today's chair-based world, where we no longer use our bodies as they evolved to be used, is having negative consequences on our health, and is a leading cause of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Over the decades, humans have moved from a primarily active lifestyle to one that is largely sedentary, and this change has reshaped every facet of our lives--from social interaction to classroom design. Levine shows how to throw off the shackles of inertia and reverse these negative trends through simple changes in our daily lives"--Provided by publisher.

The doctors we need : imagining a new path for physician recruitment, training, and support / by Sanfilippo, Anthony,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In The Doctors We Need, Dr. Anthony Sanfilippo, a respected cardiologist and former Associate Dean of Medical Education at Queen's University, confronts a startling reality: in a nation proud of its pledge to universal healthcare, over 6 million Canadians lack a family doctor. This crisis persists despite massive investments in medical education and institutions. We need to think differently. Drawing on over 40 years of experience in the classroom and at the bedside, Dr. Sanfilippo exposes -- with elegance, wit, and empathy -- how our legacy processes for recruiting, educating, and promoting hyper-specialization in medicine have failed to adapt to the basic healthcare needs any Canadian should expect. Through compelling real-life accounts, he illustrates: The impact of outdated selection and training methods on doctor shortages; How our complex, siloed medical education system lacks crucial oversight; Why current approaches fail to produce doctors with the diverse skills needed today. This groundbreaking book doesn't just diagnose the problem -- it prescribes solutions that alter incentives for decision-makers and embrace a new path for aspiring family physicians. Dr. Sanfilippo proposes innovative reforms in three critical areas: Doctor selection; Medical education and training; Healthcare workplace environments. The Doctors We Need is a call to action, challenging Canadians, medical schools, and our political leaders to embrace urgent, disruptive change in the face of clear and present needs. It offers a practical road map for ensuring every Canadian has access to quality primary care. Essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare in Canada, this book provides the blueprint for transforming our medical system to truly serve all Canadians."--
