“A compelling account of the chaotic development of a beloved urban neighbourhood. The book ranges over topics such as land speculation, recreation, house-building styles, individual enterprise, and the evolution of a sense of community. A thoughtful book that makes delightful reading.” Roberto Perin, Professor Emeritus of History, York University With an eye to the broader historical context, The Beaches recounts the neighbourhood’s initial colonial settlement, its development as a lakeside recreational community in the late nineteenth century, its emergence as a streetcar suburb after 1900, its maturation in the 1920s and 1930s, its relative decline in the 1950s and 1960s, and its revival in the 1970s and beyond. #thebeachestoronto #thebeaches #toronto #localbookstore

“Profoundly honest and oddly hopeful, Orchard’s memoir is an honest foray into the sultry, sloppy, and downright stupefying world of swipe culture. Whatever you’re looking for – validation, commiseration, a good laugh, or a stiff kick in the pants toward love – you’ll find it here.” Lisa Wade, author of American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus Revealing how dating apps are powerful social and sexual technologies that are radically transforming sexuality, relationships, and how we think about ourselves, this remarkable book cracks the code of modern romance. Told with humor and vulnerability, Sticky, Sexy, Sad is a riveting and inspiring guide to staying true to ourselves amid the digitization of love in the twenty-first century. “Sticky, Sexy, Sad is a poignant and brave memoir that unveils the raw truth behind the enticing facade of modern dating. It’s a compelling exploration of intimacy, vulnerability, and the often-overlooked aspects of online dating and a must-read for anyone who has dipped into or contemplated swiping.” Lori A. Brotto, author of Better Sex through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire #onlinedating #dating #relationships

“An extremely useful compendium for anyone interested in applications of behavioral science, thanks to its reflective and refreshing ‘warts and all’ approach to sharing both successes and failures in the translation from laboratory to real life. It’s a very welcome acknowledgment that translating research into practice can feel messy and unpredictable as a practitioner – and still be wildly worth the effort in terms of impact and learning.” Caroline Webb, CEO of CW&Co, and author of How to Have a Good Day The latest book in the Behaviourally Informed Organizations series, What Works, What Doesn’t (and When) presents a collection of studies in applied behavioral research with a behind-the-scenes look at how the project actually unfolded. #businessbooks #bookstoread #management #publicpolicy

“Are dating apps designed to help us find love, or are they ingenious tools that hold out the prospect of love, while mostly delivering frustration and irritation?

“This is an elegant book that does many difficult things at once: it reflects the most up-to-date scholarship on premodern history, it carefully elucidates how the material bears on contemporary cultural issues, and it thoroughly substantiates the narrative with evidence from primary and premodern sources. Quite an accomplishment!” Elizabeth DePalma Digeser, University of California, Santa Barbara The third edition features stylistic and substantive revisions throughout. Volume One includes additional coverage of the neolithic revolution, the evolving self-definition of the West, race in the Middle Ages, the Crusades, and the conquest of the Americas, as well as new and improved maps. #historybooks #europeanhistory #nonfiction
