From an emerging master of short fiction and one of Canada's most distinctive voices, a collection of stories as heartbreaking as those of Lorrie Moore and as hilariously off-kilter as something out of McSweeney's. In Better Living through Plastic Explosives, Zsuzsi Gartner delivers a powerful second dose of the lacerating satire that marked her acclaimed debut, All the Anxious Girls on Earth, but with even greater depth and darker humour. Whether she casts her eye on evolution and modern manhood when an upscale cul-de-sac is thrown into chaos after a redneck moves into the neighbourhood, international adoption, war photography, real estate, the movie industry, motivational speakers, or terrorism, Gartner filets the righteous and the ridiculous with dexterity in equal, glorious measure. These stories ruthlessly expose our most secret desires, and allow us to snort with laughter at the grotesque world we'd live in if we all got what we wanted.

Renowned origami artist Engel takes us on a journey to the edge of paperfolding, explaining his personal growth as an artist and providing instruction for 21 exquisite and original origami designs, including several that have been shown in galleries and museums throughout the world.

Introducing fold-by-number, a revolutionary origami new concept in paper folding. Created by the founder of Taro’s Origami Studio, Origami City marries the joy of paper folding with the foolproof appeal of paint-by-number with the imaginative play of LEGO or Playmobils.

The models—houses, office buildings, cars, emergency and construction vehicles, an airport, even dogs and squirrels to run in the parks—are meticulously detailed, illustrated by Brooklyn-based artist Simon Arizpe. For ages 7 and up.
