Power metal : the race for the resources that will shape the future

Beiser, Vince, 1965-


An award-winning journalist presents an international investigation into the environmental, geopolitical, and humanitarian costs behind the transition to renewable energy and digital technology. Beiser exposes the "electro-digital age's" reliance on skyrocketing amounts of critical metals, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper, which are essential for electric vehicles, smartphones, solar panels, and wind turbines. Tracking the global supply chain, the narrative travels from the lithium pools of Chile's Atacama Desert to deep-sea mining initiatives and the exploitative e-waste scrap yards of Lagos, Nigeria. The author highlights the geopolitical dominance of countries like China and Russia in the market, while offering solutions through recycling innovation, right-to-repair advocacy, and a systemic reduction in consumer demand.

The impossible first : an explorer's race across Antarctica

O'Brady, Colin


The endurance athlete and explorer recounts his 2018 record-setting, fifty-four-day journey across Antarctica, completing the world's first solo, unsupported, and completely human-powered crossing of the continent. Pulling a 375-pound sled across 932 miles of sub-zero temperatures and severe whiteouts, O'Brady details his unexpected psychological and physical race against British explorer Captain Louis Rudd, who was attempting the same feat. Interspersed with the narrative of the grueling trek are reflections on his past, most notably his long recovery from a tragic fire accident in Thailand ten years earlier that doctors predicted would permanently compromise his ability to walk normally.

Women of the fur trade

Koncan, Frances


Includes study guide. In eighteen hundred and something something, somewhere upon the banks of a Reddish River in Treaty One Territory, three very different women with a preference for twenty-first century slang sit in a fort sharing their views on life, love, and the hot nerd Louis Riel. Marie-Angelique, a Metis Taurus, is determined to woo Louis (a Metis Libra)--who will be arriving soon--by sending him boldly flirtatious letters. Eugenia, an Ojibwe Sagittarius, brings news of rebellion back to the fort after trading, but isn't impressed by Louis's true mediocre nature. And Cecilia, a pregnant British Virgo, is anxiously waiting on her husband's return from an expedition, but can't resist pining over the heartthrob Thomas Scott (Irish Capricorn), who is actually the one secretly responding to Marie-Angelique's letters. This will all go smoothly, right? This lively historical satire of survival and cultural in- heritance shifts perspectives from the male gaze onto women's power in the past and present through the lens of the rapidly changing world of the Canadian fur trade.

On wholeness : Anishinaabe pathways to embodiment and collective liberation

Christie-Peters, Quill


An exploration of the body as a site of settler colonial impact, centring embodied wholeness as a pathway to our collective liberation. Through reflections on childbirth, parenting, creative practice, and expansive responsibility as pathways to wholeness, Anishinaabe visual artist Quill Christie-Peters explores how reconnecting with the body can be an act of resistance and healing. She shows that wholeness--despite pain and displacement--is not just possible but essential for liberation, not only for Indigenous people but for all of us. In poetic and raw storytelling, Quill shares her own experiences of gendered violence and her father's survival of residential school, revealing how colonialism disconnects us from ourselves. Yet, through an Anishinaabe lens, the body is more than just flesh--it extends to ancestors, homelands, spirit relations, and animal kin.
