Project:<\/strong> Lost Legacies: Learning from Ancestral Stories for Inspiration and Policy-Making Today <\/span><\/i>by Margaret V. Ostrowski <\/em><\/span>(DC Books, 2024)<\/span><\/p>\n

2025 Nonfiction Book Awards Gold Winner<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In today's individualistic Western society, wisdom from our elders\u2019 lives and homelands is being lost. A retired lawyer and psychologist, whose Polish roots were virtually unknown to her while she grew up in Canada, author Margaret Ostrowski had been always touched by the historical backgrounds of the immigrant groups she encountered. In Lost Legacies<\/i>, she embarked on a quest to explore her own heritage\u2014her grandmother\u2019s and father's home in the Russian Partition of Poland and their journey to and settlement here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Years of research from a wide range of sources helped Ostrowski realize that she was a Western Slav from a country with a remarkable Golden Era, with outstanding heroes, scientists, and artisans combined with an unfortunate vulnerable location between aggressive powers that removed Poland from the map for 123 years. Her paternal grandmother\u2019s story includes the death of infants, a gold mine, and a Canadian poet. In Lost Legacies<\/i>,\u00a0ancestral stories inspire differing views of how to live, help formulate opinions and policies on immigration today, and assist in properly caring for our invitees or alternately aiding them to remain in the homelands they hold in their hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong>\u00a0Remapping an Ableist World: Disability and Oppression under Capitalism <\/i>by Vera Chouinard<\/p>\n

Remapping an Ableist World <\/em>addresses ableness as a regime of power and oppression intrinsic to global capitalism and, as such, a system that touches all of our lives, albeit in different ways. Drawing on personal and transnational case studies, Vera Chouinard offers an intersectional analysis of the production of impairment and disability, drawing on autoethnographic and autobiographical methodologies, case studies of disability in the Global South and North, and comparative accounts of processes such as the uneven development of disability law.<\/p>\n

Inviting readers to rethink the causes and consequences of the ableist capitalist order in which we find ourselves, Remapping an Ableist World<\/em> reminds us that for our own well-being and that of generations to comes we must forge a less destructive and more nurturing way of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cDancing makes you feel heaps better\u201d \u2013 Diana<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1981, after the wedding of the century, Anne Allan, a dancer, and ballet mistress with the London City Ballet, was offered an unusual assignment. Her Royal Highness Diana, the Princess of Wales, wanted dance lessons. Would Anne be her teacher?<\/p>\n

Anne and her royal pupil were soon meeting at a private studio for the first of hundreds of secret weekly one-hour lessons that were never on the princess\u2019s official schedule and never be discovered by the ever-lurking press. Over the course of nine years, teacher and pupil became close friends. Diana appreciated having an outsider to whom she could speak candidly about her personal challenges and her place in the royal world. They would talk, laugh, cry, and\u2014always\u2014dance.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, Diana learned to express her true self in physical movement. By her last class, the Princess had learned to carry herself with confidence, poise, and grace, both inside and outside the studio. Dance, says Anne, had \u201cnourished and renewed her soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Wheeling through Toronto: A History of the Bicycle and Its Riders<\/em> by Albert Koehl<\/p>\n


Throughout its history in Toronto, the bicycle\u2019s place on the roads and in public esteem has fluctuated wildly: flaunted as fashionable, disparaged and derided, rescued from looming obscurity, and promoted as a way to respond to the challenges of the day. What is it about the simple bicycle that it can be so loved by some yet despised and detested by others?<\/p>\n


Wheeling through Toronto offers a 130-year ride from the 1890s to the present to help answer this question. Albert Koehl, a Toronto lawyer and leading cycling advocate, chronicles the tumultuous history of this mode of transportation from the bicycle craze at the turn of the century, to the rise of the car and the motorway in the 1950s, to the intensifying cry for active transportation in the 1990s and into pandemic times.<\/p>\n


In an era of catastrophic climate events, Wheeling through Toronto highlights how the bicycle should be celebrated not only as hope for the future, but also for its affordability, for its contribution to clean and healthy mobility, and because it brings happiness and joy to so many. Drawing on archival materials, newspapers, and personal interviews, and full of fascinating vignettes, this book presents the story of how we got here and what Torontonians need to know as we pedal forward.<\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Ideology in Canadian Municipal Politics <\/i>by Jack Lucas<\/p>\n

One of the most peculiar features of municipal politics in Canada is how frequently local politicians, activists, and scholars disagree about how to describe the municipal arena. For some, municipal politics is distinct from other levels of government, a world of non-ideological elections, pragmatic and technical policymaking, and issue-by-issue policy coalitions. Others argue that municipal politics is similar to politics at other scales, with persistent axes of political disagreement and a recognizable \u201cleft\u201d and \u201cright.\u201d This recurring debate features prominently in municipal election campaigns across Canada.<\/p>\n

In Ideology in Canadian Municipal Politics<\/i>, Jack Lucas investigates municipal ideology in Canada. Using data from original surveys of municipal politicians and the Canadian public, the book reveals how municipal politics is clearly structured by left-right ideology. It shows that municipal politicians represent their constituents\u2019 ideological preferences quite well: they understand their constituents\u2019 ideological perspectives, they align with their constituents\u2019 preferences, and they are elected in part because of their ideological alignment with voters.<\/p>\n

A lively and accessible study, Ideology in Canadian Municipal Politics<\/i> will appeal to readers interested in municipal politics, political ideology, and political representation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Transform with Design: Creating New Innovation Capabilities with Design Thinking<\/i>, edited by Jochen Schweitzer, Sihem BenMahmoud-Jouini, and Sebastian Fixson<\/p>\n

Design thinking is widely recognized as an alternative approach to innovation, but it can be challenging to implement, often conflicting with organizational structures, cultures, and processes. The practice of design thinking calls for a new mindset that moves past conventional approaches to innovation, and embraces ambiguity, risk-taking, and collaboration.<\/p>\n

Transform with Design<\/i> presents examples of creative organizations across industries and geographies, and recounts the stories of how they adapted design thinking to build their innovation capabilities. Written by leading industry experts and design-thinking scholars, the book features ten anecdotal experiences by professionals who detail the implementation of design thinking as it unfolded for them. Contributors share how they navigated the many barriers and obstacles they encountered along the way and describe their experience from early beginnings to the present, revealing valuable lessons for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.<\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Enduring Work: Experiences with Canada\u2019s Temporary Foreign Worker Program<\/i> by Catherine E. Connelly<\/i><\/p>\n

If you believed most of what\u2019s said about the Canadian Temporary Foreign Worker program, you might naturally assume that there is a trade-off between workers\u2019 poor experiences with the program and employers\u2019 significant benefits. In reality, the experiences of workers are far worse than is commonly acknowledged, while employers are not reaping as much benefit as the public might suppose.<\/p>\n

In Enduring Work<\/i>, Catherine Connelly draws on over one hundred interviews with people connected to different aspects of this program, analyzing their experiences from the perspective of organizational behaviour and human resources management. She compares the lived reality of agricultural workers, in-home caregivers, and low- and high-wage workers, showing how and why each group is vulnerable to mistreatment and further explores how employment agencies and immigration consultants contribute to program abuses.<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking in its analysis of an issue very much in the news, Enduring Work<\/i> unpacks the harms within Canada\u2019s Temporary Foreign Worker program and offers nuanced strategies to improve it.<\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Skating on Thin Ice: Professional Hockey, Rape Culture, and Violence against Women<\/i> by Walter S. DeKeseredy, Stu Cowan, and Martin D. Schwartz<\/p>\n

Why is it that professional sports, and notably hockey, remain a bastion for rape culture and violence against women? What are the conditions that allow a culture of toxic masculinity to persist despite awakenings elsewhere in society? What is the path forward, and how do we make officials, coaches, and athletes accountable?<\/p>\n

Drawing on decades of award-winning sociological research and sports journalism, Walter S. DeKeseredy and Martin D. Schwartz along with veteran sportswriter Stu Cowan find answers to these questions in Skating on Thin Ice<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The book examines the abusive, misogynistic, racist, and homophobic behaviours found in professional hockey and explains the larger societal forces that perpetuate and legitimate these harms. Confirming a recent federal government inquiry into Hockey Canada\u2019s handling of sexual assault allegations, the book reveals that young men enter the NHL and other revenue-generating hockey leagues already trained and primed to treat women as objects \u2013 and often to commit violent acts against them. Rooted in the authors\u2019 work in the sports world as well as their work with activists and governments, Skating on Thin Ice<\/i> doesn\u2019t just highlight the problem of hockey and rape culture, it also provides collaborative solutions for fixing it.<\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Uniform Fantasies: Soldiers, Sex, and Queer Emancipation in Imperial Germany<\/i> by Jeffrey Schneider<\/p>\n

Starting in the nineteenth century in Germany, colourful military uniforms became a locus for various queer male fantasies, fostering an underground sexual economy of male prostitution as well as a political project to exploit the army\u2019s prestige for queer emancipation. In the first decade of the twentieth century, however, a series of scandals derailed this emancipatory project. Simultaneously, public debates began to invoke homosexuality, sadism, transvestism, and other sexological concepts to criticize military policies and practices.<\/p>\n

In pursuing the threads with which queer authors and activists stitched their fantasies about uniforms, Jeffrey Schneider offers fresh perspectives on key debates over military secrecy, disciplinary abuses in the army, and German militarism. Drawing on a vast trove of materials ranging from sexological case studies, trial transcripts, and parliamentary debates to queer activist tracts, autobiographies, and literary texts, Uniform Fantasies<\/i> uncovers a particularly modern set of concerns about such topics as outing closeted homosexuals, the presence of gay men in the military, and whether men in uniform are more masculine or more insecure about their sexual identity.<\/p>\n

An intimate co-creation of three graphic novelists and four Holocaust survivors, But I Live<\/i> consists of three illustrated stories based on the experiences of each survivor during and after the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

David Schaffer and his family survived in Romania due to their refusal to obey Nazi collaborators. In the Netherlands, brothers Nico and Rolf Kamp were separated from their parents and hidden by the Dutch resistance in thirteen different places. Through the story of Emmie Arbel, a child survivor of the Ravensbr\u00fcck and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, we see the lifelong trauma inflicted by the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

To complement these hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable visual stories, But I Live<\/i> includes historical essays, an illustrated postscript from the artists, and personal words from each of the survivors.<\/p>\n

As we urgently approach the post-witness era without living survivors of the Holocaust, these illustrated stories act as a physical embodiment of memory and help to create a new archive for future readers. By turning these testimonies into graphic novels, But I Live<\/i> aims to teach new generations about racism, antisemitism, human rights, and social justice.<\/p>\n

Tuzo<\/i> is the never-before-told story of one of Canada\u2019s most influential scientists and the discovery of plate tectonics, a pivotal development that forever altered how we think of our planet.<\/p>\n

In 1961, a Canadian geologist named John \"Jock\" Tuzo Wilson (1908\u20131993) jettisoned decades of strongly held opposition to theories of moving continents and embraced the idea that they drift across the surface of the Earth.<\/p>\n

Tuzo<\/i> tells the fascinating life story of Tuzo Wilson, from his early forays as a teenaged geological assistant working on the remote Canadian Shield in the 1920s to his experiences as a civilian-soldier in the Second World War to his ultimate role as the venerated father of plate tectonics. Illuminating how science is done, this book blends Tuzo\u2019s life story with the development of the theory of plate tectonics, showing along the way how scientific theories are debated, rejected, and accepted. Gorgeously illustrated, Tuzo<\/i> will appeal to anyone interested in the natural world around them.<\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Displacement City: Fighting for Health and Homes in a Pandemic<\/em> by Greg Cook and Cathy Crowe<\/p>\n

In Displacement City<\/i>, outreach worker Greg Cook and street nurse Cathy Crowe present the stories of frontline workers, advocates, and people living without homes during the pandemic. The book uses prose, poetry, and photography to document lived experiences of homelessness, responses to the housing crisis, efforts to fight back for homes, and possible solutions to move Toronto forward. Contributors provide particular insight into policies affecting Indigenous peoples and how the legacy of colonialism and displacement reached a critical point during the pandemic. Offering rich stories of care, mutual aid, and solidarity, Displacement City<\/i> provides a vivid account of a humanitarian disaster.<\/p>\n

Project:<\/strong> Barcelona, City of Margins <\/em>by Olga Sendra Ferrer<\/p>\n

Barcelona, City of Margins studies the creation of a space of dissent in the 1950s and 1960s that became the pillar of the protest movements during the final years of the Franco dictatorship and the transition to democracy. This space of dissent took shape in the margins of what is considered the official space of the city of Barcelona, revealing the interconnection of urbanism, literature, and photography in the formation of the political, social, and cultural movements to come in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Olga Sendra Ferrer draws from theoretical readings on built environments, neighbourhoods, housing projects and developments, and everyday life within Spanish urban spaces. Literature and photography demonstrate the political value of cultural production and forms of cultural representation that occur from peripheral zones \u2013 those pushed aside by exclusionary politics, fascist forms of control, surveillance, and homogenization.<\/p>\n

In search of the origins of the protest movements and counter culture that would come in the final years of the Franco regime, Barcelona, City of Margins asserts the value of urban movement and cultural practice as a challenge to the spatial and urbanistic regime of Francoism.<\/p>\n

A year-and-a-half since the global pandemic turned our lives upside down, we continue to navigate the choppy waters that it has wrought. Some have observed that COVID-19 has been a great equalizer, affecting us across the board whether we work in the C-suite or on the frontline. But at the same time, it has put the spotlight on widespread inequality and power imbalances in our society that demand our collective attention.<\/p>\r\n

For leaders eager to seize this unique moment in history to jumpstart their organizations, the question is, Now what? In this issue of Rotman Management, we will explore some of the mindsets, approaches and operating principles that will be required to thrive in the post-pandemic world.<\/p>\r\n

Project:<\/strong>\u00a0Introducing Archaeology, Third Edition<\/em> by Robert J. Muckle and Stacey L. Camp<\/p>\r\n

Specialty:\u00a0<\/strong>Now in its third edition,\u00a0Introducing Archaeology<\/a><\/em>\u00a0continues to be a thoughtful and engaging textbook for introductory-level students. This edition highlights recent archaeological developments and the social and political contexts of archaeology, including the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), Camp Delta (Guantanamo Bay), and Indigenous residential schools. The authors also manage to integrate some playful topics, such as the archaeology of children\u2019s graffiti and the domestication of dogs, while delving further into contemporary issues like climate change. The ultimate goal is to encourage students to examine the world that surrounds them with new eyes using archaeological methodologies.<\/p>\r\n

This is the third edition of Introducing Archeology<\/em> that UTP has sent to us for editing \u2013 at the request of Professor Muckle. It is always a pleasure to edit his work and follow his digs and discoveries, which in this volume he writes about with his colleague Stacey L. Camp. TEC\u2019s team edited this manuscript for consistency and clarity and to apply U of Toronto Press style in usage, punctuation, and spelling; corrected grammar errors; edited notes and references.

Specialty:<\/strong> In this 320-page book, the author offers a sophisticated analysis of the place of the freak show in twentieth-century culture. Freak shows survived and thrived because of their flexible business model, government support, and by mobilizing cultural and medical ideas of the body and normalcy. This book is the first full-length study of the freak show in Canada and is a significant contribution to our understanding of the history of Canadian popular culture, attitudes toward children, and the social construction of able-bodiness. The index required paying careful attention to the particular terminology of this era, proper spelling of carnival locations and carnival owners, medical terminology, references to popular culture, key words capturing the experiences of all those who participated in the carnivals, and indexing of figures and illustrations.

Project:<\/strong> Indigenous Men and Masculinities: Legacies, Identities, Regeneration, edited by Robert Alexander Innes and Kim Anderson <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Specialty:<\/strong> This original collection highlights voices of Indigenous male writers, traditional knowledge keepers, ex-gang members, war veterans, fathers, youth, two-spirited people, and Indigenous men working to end violence against women. Each of the 16 chapter offers a refreshing vision towards equitable societies that celebrate healthy and diverse masculinities. We worked closely with the volume editors to edit each article for consistency and clarity while strengthening the author\u2019s voice. We copy edited for U of Manitoba Press style in usage, punctuation, and spelling; corrected grammar errors; edited notes and references for Chicago Style; and edited figure captions for accuracy and consistency. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>","gallery_date":null,"active":"1","featured":"0","category":"1871,1876","media_id":"3710,3709","meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"created_at":"2018-10-21 05:40:15","updated_at":"2019-09-16 19:17:28"},{"id":"1023","name":"The Unfulfilled Promise of Press Freedom in Canada","slug":"the-unfulfilled-promise-of-press-freedom-in-canada","image":"Academic-Substantive-Editing-1410735256.jpg","name_short":null,"description":"

Project:<\/strong>\u00a0The Unfulfilled Promise of Press Freedom in Canada, edited by Lisa Taylor and Cara-Marie O\u2019Hagan<\/span><\/p>\n

Specialty:<\/strong> The manuscript required a restructuring to create a comprehensive anthology. There were over 15 authors writing 15 chapters that were compiled from a series of papers presented at a Ryerson Journalism Research Centre panel in 2012 on the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and its effects on press freedom in Canada. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Working with editors of the volume, we organized the papers into specific categories relating to elements of the Charter and restructured each chapter for content, flow, and clarity. Themes were interconnected across the chapters that explore how press freedom has been constrained, the role of governmental interference, threats of libel suits against writers and newspapers\/media outlets, restrictions placed against journalists \u2014 each of which assesses how press freedom has fared under the Charter. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The final manuscript was sent to the publisher for copy editing. When the 300-page book was in final pages\/PDF, we created a back-of-the-book index to reflect the intricacies of the material included in the volume. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>","gallery_date":null,"active":"0","featured":"0","category":"1871, 1874","media_id":"3702,3701","meta_title":"","meta_description":"","created_at":"2018-10-21 04:25:08","updated_at":"2018-10-26 05:35:38"},{"id":"1001","name":"Photo Gallery","slug":"gallery","image":null,"name_short":"","description":"","gallery_date":"2017-06-12","active":"0","featured":"0","category":"","media_id":null,"meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"created_at":"2017-12-05 07:54:57","updated_at":"2017-12-06 01:46:28"}]
