Unravelling MAiD in Canada : euthanasia and assisted suicide as medical care / by Coelho, Ramona,editor.; Gaind, K. Sonu,editor.; Lemmens, Trudo,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Since Canada legalized in 2016 medical assistance in dying (MAiD), which encompasses both euthanasia and assisted suicide, more than 60,000 Canadians have died by MAiD, the highest number in the world. Not only the internationally unprecedented increase in numbers, but also the expansion of MAiD outside the end-of-life context and plans to introduce MAiD for sole reasons of mental illness, continue to evoke heated societal and political debate. This book discusses in detail how Canada's MAiD law developed and what some of the key social justice and health care concerns are, particularly for specific populations such as disabled persons (including those with mental disabilities) and Indigenous people. Canadian developments are also closely watched around the world. Countries that legalized some form of MAiD or are debating whether to go that route face questions about the consequences of legalization; about what forms of MAiD could be legalized (assisted suicide or euthanasia); and about the efficacy of safeguards. Many want to understand why Canada's MAiD practice has bypassed the most liberal euthanasia regimes in the world and what the implications are for health care and social justice. The chapters in this book are written by leading legal, medical and disability experts who participated directly in the debate. They explore key health care and social justice related issues around the Canadian MAiD law and policy and its potential further expansion. This book will be of interest to Canadian and international academic experts, medical professionals, politicians, students, the legal community, and the broader public."--

My Oxford Year A Novel [electronic resource] : by Whelan, Julia.aut; Whelan, Julia.nrt; CloudLibrary;
Soon to be a Netflix Film Starring Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest! Award-winning and fan-favorite voice actor Julia Whelan narrates her own novel, a sparkling debut set amidst the breathtaking beauty of Oxford, tells the unforgettable story about a determined young woman eager to make her mark in the world and the handsome man who introduces her to an incredible love that will irrevocably alter her future—perfect for fans of JoJo Moyes and Nicholas Sparks. American Ella Durran has had the same plan for her life since she was thirteen: Study at Oxford. At 24, she’s finally made it to England on a Rhodes Scholarship when she’s offered an unbelievable position in a rising political star’s presidential campaign. With the promise that she’ll work remotely and return to DC at the end of her Oxford year, she’s free to enjoy her Once in a Lifetime Experience. That is, until a smart-mouthed local who is too quick with his tongue and his car ruins her shirt and her first day. When Ella discovers that her English literature course will be taught by none other than that same local, Jamie Davenport, she thinks for the first time that Oxford might not be all she’s envisioned. But a late-night drink reveals a connection she wasn’t anticipating finding and what begins as a casual fling soon develops into something much more when Ella learns Jamie has a life-changing secret. Immediately, Ella is faced with a seemingly impossible decision: turn her back on the man she’s falling in love with to follow her political dreams or be there for him during a trial neither are truly prepared for. As the end of her year in Oxford rapidly approaches, Ella must decide if the dreams she’s always wanted are the same ones she’s now yearning for.

Rat city : overcrowding and urban derangement in the rodent universes of John B. Calhoun / by Adams, Jon,author.; Ramsden, Edmund,author.;
"How a landmark experiment in rat behavior changed the way we think about cities. In the decades following WWII, the American metropolis was in peril. Modern high rises hastily erected to replace slums became incubators of criminality, while civic unrest erupted across the nation. Enter John B. Calhoun, an ecologist employed by the National Institute of Mental Health to study the effects of overcrowding. Calhoun decided to focus his study on rats. From 1947 to 1977, Calhoun built a series of sprawling habitats in which a rat's every need was met -- except space. As the enclosures became ever more crowded, resident rats began to react to social stress, culminating in the terrifying world of Universe 25: a rodent habitat where escalating social disorder collapsed to violent extinction. Did a similar fate await our own teeming cities? Jon Adams and Edmund Ramsden's Rat City is the first book to tell the story of maverick scientist Calhoun and his now-viral experiments. Following the rats from the baiting pits of Victorian London to the laboratories of NIMH, and Calhoun from rural Tennessee to inner-city Baltimore, Rat City is an enthralling mix of dystopian science and urban history. Social design, housing infrastructure, a burgeoning current of racism in city planning: Calhoun influenced them all, and Rat City connects Calhoun's work to the politics of personal space, the looming threat of global overpopulation, and the eclipsing of environmental psychology by pharmaceutical psychiatry. As the "war on rats" continues to be waged around the world, and our post-pandemic society reevaluates the necessity of urban living, the riveting story of Rat City is more relevant than ever"--

James Norval has built a successful career crafting the thrilling adventures of his fictional hero, Hunter Chase, a character admired by readers and movie-goers worldwide. But despite his fame and fortune, Norval has always harboured a secret dream of living the life he only writes about—a life as a field operative for CSIS, Canada's Security Intelligence Service. In fact, nearly thirty years earlier, he washed out of the CSIS recruitment program, and it's haunted him ever since. But that long-held dream becomes a reality when a series of unfortunate events lands Norval in a foreign prison. Rescued by CSIS, he is given an unexpected opportunity: to use his unique position as the favourite writer of Mali's newly installed president to assist in a delicate and dangerous mission. With the help of agent Lauren Cooper, Norval must infiltrate the Malian government and execute a daring plan to exfiltrate fifteen Canadian nationals before the corrupt powers that control the country uncover their true intentions.  The Marionette is a comic thriller by a master of the craft. Full of Terry Fallis' signature wit and combined with an exhilarating high-stakes plot, this is a must-read for fans of espionage and intrigue.
