NATIONAL BESTSELLER Alexandra Morton has been called "the Jane Goodall of Canada" because of her passionate thirty-year fight to save British Columbia's wild salmon. Her account of that fight is both inspiring in its own right and a roadmap of resistance. Alexandra Morton came north from California in the early 1980s, following her first love—the northern resident orca. Then, in 1989, industrial aquaculture moved into the region, chasing the whales away. Soon Alex had shifted her scientific focus to documenting the infectious diseases and parasites that pour from the ocean farm pens of Atlantic salmon into the migration routes of wild Pacific salmon, and then to proving their disastrous impact on wild salmon and the entire ecosystem of the coast. Alex stood against the farms, first representing her community, then alone, and at last as part of an uprising in which ancient Indigenous governance resisted a province and a country that wouldn't obey their own court rulings. She has used her science, many acts of protest and the legal system in her unrelenting efforts to save wild salmon and ultimately the whales—a story that reveals her own perseverance and bravery, but also shines a bright light on the ways other humans doggedly resist the truth. Here, she brilliantly calls those humans to account for the sake of us all.

University on Watch is a story about youthful hope, yearning for more, and triumph over failures and mistakes beyond our own control and doing. The book is a native story to New York state, but couldn’t be more otherworldly, at times supernatural and grippingly suspenseful as the book unfolds. The crisis in the academy, or New London University, is one that goes to the very epicenter of higher learning and education. This crisis is also conjectured, created by the mind of Jacques Peters, a student rejected from the graduate school in English at New London University. Jacques Peters will do everything in his power to uncover the reason for his rejection from graduate school. Meta-power, a word Jacques Peters believes is behind the root of power in the English department and the reason for his rejection becomes the point of departure for a quest into the very root of power in New London. During this quest, Jacques stops at nothing to hold university officials, department offices, and the community accountable for terminating his education prematurely. Mr. Peters will travel across New York State, visiting friends, loved ones, and old schoolmates from his High School days at Wales. Through his journey, Jacques will undergo another transformation while contesting the admission decision to the very end, putting his health and life at risk forever.

Dr. Robert Judy, director of the Alexander Hamilton Foundation, authorizes Arturo Eno to print two billion dollars of counterfeit money outside the knowledge of the US Treasury Department. Arturo blackmails Dr. Judy. The sly Dr. Judy pulls a few strings from an admiral by inventing a cheating scheme at the US Naval Academy. Ensign Nick McMasters, a recent graduate, is randomly selected. Nick is hidden inside the foundation. Dr. Judy persuades him to go undercover and find Arturo Eno. For the mission to work, Nick has to engage two retired spies and employ their expertise. The undercover operation lands Nick inside a counterfeiting ring where he acts like a chameleon to survive. Arturo is spooked and decides to move the money. We follow Nick to the counterfeiting lair where he learns the fine art of printing money. The money is loaded on to a waiting freighter. The next day at sea, they discover a submarine is hunting them. Damage done by the ramming of the submarine, the freighter beaches next to a posh resort in Mexico. The money is retrieved; however, Nick continues his search for the men. A knife thrown by Arturo at the wharf nearly kills Nick. Nick recovers to learn the counterfeiting operation was sanctioned by Dr. Judy to bribe the terrorists from their random bombings in the US.
