I got a name : the murder of Krystal Senyk / by Robertson, Eliza,author.; Dolphin, Myles,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A propulsive true-crime story that exposes the deep cracks in a system that repeatedly fails to protect women, while tracking the once-cold trail of a murderer still at large. Krystal Senyk was the kind of friend everybody wants: a reliable confidant, a handywoman of all trades, and an infectious creative with an adventurous spirit. Most importantly, she was tough as nails. So when her friend, Lynn, needed help escaping her abusive husband, Ronald Bax, Krystal leapt into action to protect her. But soon Krystal became the new outlet for Bax's rage. He terrorized and intimidated her for months on end, and finally issued a chilling warning: the hunt is on. Krystal was scared but she was smart: she reached out to the RCMP for a police escort home, in case the threat was real. To her shock, the officer brushed her off. Bax's threat had been all too real. He was waiting for Krystal when she walked through her front door that evening. At 29 years old, the woman who seemed invincible--who was a beloved sister, daughter, and friend--was shot and killed in the house she built herself in the Yukon. Ronald Bax disappeared without a trace. Nearly three decades later, Eliza Robertson has re-opened the case. In compelling, vibrant prose, Robertson works tirelessly to piece together Krystal's story, retracing the dire failings of Canadian law enforcement and Bax's last steps. She speaks to those closest to Krystal, and also those closest to her killer--determined to bring him, and the system that failed her, to justice. I Got a Name uses one woman's tragic story to boldly interrogate themes of violence against women and the pervasive issues that plague our society. In this riveting true-crime story about victimhood, power, and control, Robertson examines the broken system in place, and asks: if it isn't looking out for the vulnerable, the threatened, the hunted--who among us is it protecting?"--

Includes bibliographical references and index."A revolutionary new theory and call to action on animal rights, ethics, and law from the renowned philosopher Martha C. Nussbaum.Animals are in trouble all over the world. Whether through the cruelties of the factory meat industry, poaching and game hunting, habitat destruction, or neglect of the companion animals that people purport to love, animals suffer injustice and horrors at our hands every day. The world needs an ethical awakening, a consciousness-raising movement of international proportions. In Justice for Animals, one of the world's most influential philosophers and humanists Martha C. Nussbaum provides a revolutionary approach to animal rights, ethics, and law.

Little wolf / by Spathelfer, Teoni,1963-; Davies, Natassia.;
A young Indigenous girl moves to the big city and learns to find connections to her culture and the land wherever she goes, despite encountering bullies and feelings of isolation along the way. When Little Wolf moves to the big city with her mom and sister, she has difficulty adjusting to their new life. She misses living close to nature and seeing animals wherever she goes, and she misses fishing with her grandfather and seeing dolphins leaping beside their boat. Most of all, she misses feeling connected to her culture. At school, Little Wolf has trouble fitting in. Although her class has kids from many different cultures, no one is Heiltsuk, like her. The other kids call her names and make her feel unwelcome. Her only defence is to howl like a wolf so they run away. But this only isolates her further. Gradually, Little Wolf starts to see the beauty in her new surroundings. She discovers that there is wildlife everywhere, even in the big city. An otter swims beside her as she walks on the seawall. A chickadee chirps in a tree in the big park near her house. And her mother helps her stay connected to their culture by signing them up for beading and dance classes. Despite the difficult start, Little Wolf grows up proud of her background and ready to face the future.LSC

The Smiling Land All Around the Circle in My Newfoundland and Labrador [electronic resource] : by Doyle, Alan.aut; CloudLibrary;
From one of Canada's most beloved and celebrated Newfoundlanders comes a rollicking insider's guide to the province, told as only Alan Doyle can tell it. Few Canadian musicians are as synonymous with their home province as Alan Doyle is to his—and even fewer once worked as tour guides. In The Smiling Land, Alan reprises his tour-guiding role to welcome the rest of Canada to his home and take readers on an adventure: a freewheeling road trip through Newfoundland, its history, and its culture. From Fogo Island to the Southwest Coast, Labrador to Ferryland, and everywhere in between, Alan's Newfoundland awaits you. There are visits to windswept coastlines and towering crags, ancient Viking and Basque fishing settlements, and more lighthouses than you can shake a foghorn at. More recent settlements are also part of the itinerary, from burgeoning arts venues and communities to more humble but no less world-class locales, such as Foley's Shed, a jaunty live-music pub that—as its name suggests—happens to be in some guy named Foley's shed. Alan provides savvy insider tips for visitors to St. John's, like how to score fish and chips and a free ride by hopping into the delivery person's car as they drive your food to your desired destination. Or, for the aspiring rum smuggler visiting the Burin Peninsula, how to sneak bottles from the French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon to the shores of Newfoundland. There are dolphin sightings, cliffside hikes among flocks of ocean-plunging puffins, and a pilgrimage to the home of the (late) great auk. And what tour of Newfoundland could be complete without a short history of what can best be described as "icebergs that look like things," an illustrious history that includes an exact replica of the Virgin Mary that once washed into St. John's harbour, and the more recent—and far less holy—"Dickie Berg," which made international headlines for looking like . . . well, not the Virgin Mary. Wildly entertaining, informative, and brimming with Alan's classic brand of storytelling and romping good fun, The Smiling Land is a celebration of Newfoundland—both its storied past and its ever-vibrant present.
