resulting in the eschewing of flesh arose
after the Aristotelian period in Greece and
recurred in Ancient Rome, but then mostly
disappeared for centuries. Despite the
occasional presence of ascetic and cultural
vegetarianism, it was not until the turn of the
nineteenth century that vegetarian thought
was revived and enjoyed some success;
it subsequently went into another period
of decline that lasted through much of the
twentieth century. The authority-questioning
cultural revolution of the 1960s brought a
fresh resurgence of vegetarian ethics that
continues to the present day.
Sins of the Flesh is a groundbreaking history
of ethical vegetarianism that will appeal to
all readers concerned with human-animal
relations and the foundations of animal rights.

– Estelle Freedman, author of No Turning Back
Every decade or so, a brave thinker makes an
attempt to chart the historical maps of women

one of the most elegant and interesting – making
up for the lapses of the past, Sapphistries sails
an international course, giving us a rich mix of
historical sources and an even richer gift of asking
questions at just the right places.
– Joan Nestle, co-editor of GenderQueer
From the ancient poet Sappho to tombois in
contemporary Indonesia, women throughout
history and around the globe have desired, loved,
and had sex with other women. In beautiful
prose, Sapphistries tells their stories, capturing
the multitude of ways that diverse societies have
shaped female same-sex sexuality across time
and place. Leila J. Rupp reveals how, from the
time of the very earliest societies, the possibil-
ity of love between women has been known,
even when it is feared, ignored, or denied. We
hear women in the sex-segregated spaces of
convents and harems whispering words of love.
We see women beginning to find each other on
the streets of London and Amsterdam, in the
aristocratic circles of Paris, in the factories of
Shanghai. We find women’s desire and love for
women meeting the light of day as Japanese
schoolgirls fall in love, and lesbian bars and clubs
spread from 1920s Berlin to 1950s Buffalo.
And we encounter a world of difference in the
twenty-first century, as transnational concepts
and lesbian identities meet local understand-
ings of how two women might love each other.
Giving voice to words from the mouths and pens
of women, and from men’s prohibitions, reports,
literature, art, imaginings, pornography, and court
cases, Rupp also creatively employs fiction to
imagine possibilities when there is no historical
evidence. Sapphistries combines lyrical narrative
with meticulous historical research, providing
an eminently readable and uniquely sweeping
story of desire, love, and sex between women
around the globe from the beginning of time to
the present.
Leila J. Rupp is professor of feminist studies and
associate dean of the division of social sciences
at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
She is author of many books, including A Desired
Past: A Short History of Same-Sex Sexuality in

kind of society. John Belshaw overturns the
widespread tendency to associate population
growth with progress by examining how the
province’s Aboriginal population of as much as
half a million was reduced by disease to fewer
than 30,000 people in less than a century.
He reveals that the province has a long tradi-
tion of thinking and acting vigorously in ways
meant to control and shape biological commu-
nities of humans, and suggests that imperial-
ism, race, class, and gender have historically
situated population issues at the centre of public
consciousness in British Columbia.
JOHN DOUGLAS BELSHAW, formerly professor
of history at Thompson Rivers University, is now
Associate Vice-President of Education at North
Island College, Vancouver Island.
The First World War’s appalling death toll and
the need for a sense of equality of sacrifice on
the home front led to Canada’s first experience
of overseas conscription. While historians have
focused on resistance to enforced military service
in Quebec, this has obscured the important role
of those who saw military service as incompat-
ible with their religious or ethical beliefs. Crisis of
Conscience is the first and only book about the
Canadian pacifists who refused to fight in the
Great War. The experience of these conscientious
objectors offers insight into evolving attitudes
about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship
during a key period of Canadian nation building.
This book will appeal to readers interested in
Canadian military and peace history. The book is
also relevant to those concerned with questions
of voluntarism and obligation in a democratic
society, and issues of gender history and minority
freedom and identity.

Communicating and Organizing to End Homelessness
Phillip K. Tompkins
Who Is My Neighbor? is a compelling account of
the author’s ten-year journey as a volunteer at the

Colorado. A retired Professor of Communication,
Tompkins marshals his considerable experience
as a participant observer in recording the voices
of the guests of the shelter as they teach us
about their situation. We learn about their hopes
for regaining a home and their fears as they
are victimized – in some cases even murdered.
Tompkins shows how effective communication
and organization can contribute to finding an end
to homelessness and establishing a movement
toward protective action, especially when a
proactive local government gets involved. In

Bloodshed connected with Mexican drug cartels,
how they emerged, and their impact on the

Health History Calamity
The Heppner Flood of 1903
Joann Green Byrd

June 14, 1903, was a typical, hot Sunday in
Heppner, a small farm town in northeastern
Oregon. People went to church, ate dinner,
and relaxed with family and friends. But late
that afternoon, calamity struck when a violent
thunderstorm brought heavy rain and hail to the
mountains and bare hills south of town.
In Calamity, Joann Byrd, a native of eastern
Oregon, carefully documents the poignant story
of this small farm town in northeastern Oregon
when one of every five people in the prosper-
ous town of 1,300 would lose their lives, as the
floodwaters pulled apart and carried away nearly
everything in its path.
Calamity illustrates that even the smallest things
we do have consequences – good or bad. Byrd
draws on a wealth of primary sources, including a
moving collection of photographs, to paint a rare
picture of how a small town in the West coped
with disaster at the turn of the twentieth century.
Joann Byrd is a retired journalist who has
worked for a number of newspapers, including
the East Oregonian in Pendleton, Oregon, and
the Washington Post.

Memoir Havana and Other Missing Fathers
Mia Angela Leonin

Mia Leonin spent the first sixteen years of her
life believing her father was dead. Shortly after
her sixteenth birthday, Leonin learned from her
mother that her father, a Cuban exile, was very
much alive and living in Florida. Her attempts to
contact him, however, were thwarted until four
years later, when she left home in search of her
roots. Her journey takes her to Miami, Colombia,
and Cuba, and her search for cultural identity
leads her to create memories, friendships, and
romances. She finds moments of connection and
redemption, ending up in Havana not as a cultural
tourist but as an illegitimate daughter of Cuba
looking for validation.
Insightful, imaginative, and often poetic, Havana
and Other Missing Fathers is Mia Leonin’s recol-
lection of this journey and her longing to learn
more about her origins. In the end, she must
learn to accept the answers she discovers as well
as the questions that remain.
Mia Angela Leonin is a creative writing instructor
at the University of Miami. She is the author of
two books of poetry, Braid and Unraveling

Health Vibrations
A Memoir
David Amram

Vibrations is the story of one boy’s adventures
growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, working
odd jobs, misfitting in the U.S. Army, barnstorm-
ing through Europe with the famous Seventh
Army Symphony, exiling in Paris, scuffling on
the Lower East Side, day-labouring – often down
but never out – and finally emerging as a major
musical force.
David Amram has played and rambled and
galloped and staggered through a remarkably
broad sweep of American life, experience,
and creative struggle. The Boston Globe has
described him as “the Renaissance man of
American Music.” Amram and Jack Kerouac
collaborated on the first-ever jazz poetry reading
in New York City in 1957 as well as the subse-
quent legendary film Pull My Daisy in 1959,
combining Amram’s music with Kerouac’s
narration. Amram, honoured as the first Compos-
er-in-Residence of the New York Philharmonic,
has composed more than 100 orchestral and
chamber works, written two operas, and has
collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, Dizzy
Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Charles Mingus,
Dustin Hoffman, Thelonious Monk, Willie Nelson,
Nancy Griffith, Johnny Depp, and more.
With its stage-setting foreword by Douglas
Brinkley and a new afterword by Kerouac biogra-
pher Audrey Sprenger, this new edition is not to
be missed.

• Nature Puget Sound Through an Artist’s Eye
Tony Angell
Foreword by Ivan Doig

For nearly fifty years artist and naturalist Tony
Angell has used Puget Sound’s natural diversity
as his palette. In this book, he describes the
living systems within the Sound and shares his
observations and encounters with the species
that make up the complex communities of the
Sound’s rivers, tidal flats, islands, and beaches:
the fledging flight of a young peregrine, an otter
playfully herding a small red rockfish, the grasp
of a curious octopus. Angell goes on to explain
the methods he uses in his art. The shapes,
movements, patterns, and even temperatures
and smells that he experiences in the field are all
brought to bear on his work. His drawings bring
clarity to his visual and emotional memories, and
his sculptures allow him to approach a memory
from many directions and retain that memory in
his hands. In all of his work, he lets the passion
and excitement of his discoveries drive his artistic
expression.
Tony Angell’s artworks are held in public and
private collections throughout the world. He is
the author of several books including Ravens,
Crows, Magpies, and Jays and Owls, and served
as Washington State Director of Environmental
Education for thirty years. He lives in Seattle.

Culture The Bone Readers

Science and Politics in Human Origins Research
Claudio Tuniz, Richard Gillespie and Cheryl Jones

We are all descended from a single woman
whose descendants left Africa 70,000 years ago
and populated the planet. Or are we?
The Eve Hypothesis, a dogma among research-
ers in human origins for the past two decades,
is coming under increasing challenge by a
new generation of Bone Readers. This group
of scholars study the earliest human remains,
their chemistry and DNA, their extinct floral and
faunal contemporaries, and the geologic layers in
which they were found. Focusing on anomalous
discoveries in Australia, the Pacific islands, and
the Americas, these scholars are challenging the
reigning hypothesis of modern human origins.
Other hypotheses—about “hobbits,”
Neanderthals, and the Bering Straits—are equal-
ly under scrutiny. Two leading Bone Readers and
a science writer have penned a literate, authori-
tative summary of the current questions and
the minefield of academic politics that surround
questioning anthropology’s most cherished
paradigms. Ideal for students in human origins
or biological anthropology courses, and a

Nature Ecology & Wonder
The Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site
Robert W. Sandford
This book makes a couple of remarkable claims.
The first is that the greatest cultural achievement
in the mountain region of Western Canada may
be what has been preserved, not what has been
developed.
The second is that protecting the spine of the
Rocky Mountains will preserve crucial eco-
logical functions. Because the process of
ecosystem diminishment and species loss has
been slowed, an ecological thermostat has
been kept alive, which may well be an important
defence against future climate change impacts
in the Canadian west.

Environment Don’t Be Such a Scientist
Talking Substance in an Age of Style
Randy Olson

After nearly a decade on the defensive, the world
of science is about to be restored to its rightful
place. But is the American public really ready for
science? And is the world of science ready for
the American public?
In Don’t Be Such a Scientist, he shares the
secrets of talking substance in an age of style.
The key, he argues, is to stay true to the facts
while tapping into something more primordial,
more irrational, and ultimately more human.

Enter Randy Olson. Fifteen years ago, Olson bid
farewell to the science world and shipped off
to Hollywood ready to change the world. With
films like Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelli-
gent Design Circus (Tribeca ‘06, Showtime) and
Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy (Outfest ‘08),
he has tried to bridge the cultural divide that
has too often left science on the outside looking
in. Now, in his first book, Olson recounts the
lessons from his own hilarious – and at times
humiliating – evolution from science professor
to Hollywood filmmaker.
Randy Olson earned his Ph.D. at Harvard Univer-
sity and achieved tenure at the University of
New Hampshire before resigning and moving to
Hollywood, obtaining an M.F.A. from the Univer-
sity of Southern California School of Cinema, and
embarking on a second career as a filmmaker.

trying to live a low-carbon life in London. In doing
so he helps navigate the choices that confront
us all when making decisions about what to eat,

is an irreverent but rigorous reference guide to

three real people who are trying to decarbonize
on a budget: a 20-something starting out in work,
a father with two schoolchildren holding down a
hectic job, and a pensioner on a fixed income. It’s
brimming with up-to-date information on current

budget for how to spend the least for the biggest
carbon reduction gain, and insight from the experi-
ences of people trying to live a low-carbon life.

Health The New Economics
A Bigger Picture
David Boyle and Andrew Simms

Economics sometimes seems to be stacked
against social, environmental, and individual well-
being. But it doesn’t have to be like this. A new
approach to economics – deriving as much from
Ruskin and Schumacher as from Keynes or Smith
– has begun to emerge. Skeptical about money
as a measure of success, this new economics
turns our assumptions about wealth and poverty
upside down. It shows us that real wealth can be
measured by increased well-being and environ-
mental sustainability rather than just having and
consuming more things.
This book is the first accessible and straightfor-
ward guide to the new economics. It describes
the problems and bizarre contradictions in
conventional economics as well as the principles
of the emerging new economics, and it tells
the real-world stories of how new economics is
being successfully put into practice around the
world. An essential guide to understanding new
economics for all those who care about making
economics work for people and planet.

Foundation (nef).

Living Without Brakes
Martin L. Kutscher MD

The author describes the spectrum of ADHD, the
co-occurring symptoms, and common difficul-
ties that parents face. The rest of the book
focuses on solutions, based around four rules.
Rule number one is keeping it positive: punish-
ments can change behaviour, but only positive
approaches can improve attitude. Rule number
two is keeping it calm: it’s difficult thinking
clearly enough to solve problems logically if you
are feeling overwhelmed. Rule number three
is keeping it organized: this rule relates particu-
larly to the child’s school life. Rule number four
is to keep doing rules one to three. Finally, Dr.
Kutscher discusses the role of medication for
treating ADHD.
Realistic and optimistic, this book is the ideal
source of information and advice for parents and
professionals who are trying to keep up with
children who are living without brakes.

Understanding Adults on the Autism Spectrum

Getting to Grips with Asperger Syndrome is
a practical, problem-solving guide for those
caring for or supporting an adult with Asperger
Syndrome (AS). It will help them understand the
condition and the difficulties it may cause, so that
they can offer support in the most beneficial way.
The book explains what AS is and why certain
behaviours frequently occur, such as anxiety, fear
of change, and unusual sensitivities. Once behav-
iours and reactions are understood, many of the
apparent problems become less troublesome,
and difficulties can be avoided or easily resolved.
Practical strategies are offered to combat
problems that may arise, and common issues
that specifically occur with individuals diagnosed
later in life are addressed.
Easy-to-read and accessible, this book is a useful
reference for friends and family of individuals
with AS, as well as health and social care staff
and students, whatever the level of training and
experience.
