When you talk about outsiders, it's easy to think about that sense of isolation when you're not one of the "popular kids" in high school, when you're the new person on the job, when you stand out in a bad way. But there's more than that. There's the sense of wonder at a new, alien place. There's seeing everything you know through a new, different point of view. These stories defy expectations and easy genre boundaries. But if you want that sense of wonder and amazement when you first encountered speculative fiction, that idea that there is something different, something more just around the corner, just out of sight, that sense of coming home to the unfamiliar, then this is the book you want to read. Edited by Nayad Monroe - who also edited What Fates Impose - these nineteen stories bring us tales of being the other, of belonging, and not belonging.

Crime knows no boundaries, and no one culture or time period has a monopoly on plans gone wrong. In this second collection of stories from Plan B Magazine, we find tales from around the world and across the span of time. These stories also travel the breadth of human experience, from the innocence of a child to the mind of a bigoted murderer. Some stories will make you smile while others will make you cringe, but all will take you on a journey into the darkness of the human spirit. And what a ride it will be.

Plan B: Volume II

I am just one of the thousands of fathers who have been victimized by the system of organized crime in the Massachusetts family courts. This book exposes the motives, tactics, and hypocrisy that all fathers must endure. The book also details my specific case including the "spin off" corruption that resulted from my efforts to hold the liars and racketeers in and outside of this kangaroo court system accountable.

Hostelling International--Nova Scotia

Cape Breton Island is home to some of Canada's most popular musicians, and the inspiration for some of the country's best writers. The island that has captured the imaginations of countless artists is one of the most beautiful, wild places in Canada. Cape Breton is an internationally acclaimed tourist destination, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. The hiking on Cape Breton Island, whether in the Highlands, around the Bras d'Or Lakes (actually inland seas) or along its thousands of kilometres of rugged coastline, is second to none. Whether someone is a serious hiker, planning a multi-day excursion into the wild Cape Breton Highlands National Park, or a family looking for an interesting way to spend an afternoon, Hiking Trails of Cape Breton will provide all the information needed to enjoy being self-propelled, out-of-doors. Hiking Trails of Cape Breton is the first comprehensive guidebook devoted to this spectacular region. A co-publication of Goose Lane Editions and Hostelling International — Nova Scotia, Hiking Trails of Cape Breton is written by the foremost authority on travelling Nova Scotia on foot, Michael Haynes. Hiking Trails of Cape Breton describes 50 Cape Breton trails in detail. As well as 10 breathtaking trails in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, it covers in detail the southwestern, eastern coast and interior, and Bras d'Or areas of the Island, plus the Highlands area outside the park. Some of these trails are newly constructed, some are heritage roads and paths, and others are perennial favourites that may have undergone significant changes in the past five years. In 1998, Michael Haynes hiked all of the trails, personally gathering the information for Hiking Trails of Cape Breton. Hiking Trails of Cape Breton includes up-to-date maps, photographs, synoptic information about the length and difficulty of each trail, and entertaining accounts of each hike. It’s technologically up-to-date, too — it's one of the first published guidebooks anywhere to include electronic data as standard information. Each map includes Global Positioning System co-ordinates for the main trail access point; these simplify finding the start of unmarked trails and woods roads and provide a foolproof safety bearing. Cellular telephones are also popular as safety devices, but sometimes hikers don't realize that there may be no coverage in remote or geological complex areas. For this reason, cell phone coverage is included in Hiking Trails of Cape Breton.

Featuring five new trails (three of which lead into Wilderness Protected Areas), newly added trailhead GPS coordinates, cellphone coverage details, hiking tips, and extra sidebar notes on flora, fauna, and historic sites that you'll encounter along the way, the new edition of Trails of Halifax Regional Municipality is the essential guide to hiking in Nova Scotia's most picturesque city. What's more, each trail in the guide is graded to ensure that the route you select best suits your level of hiking experience. The regional municipality of Halifax offers some of the best coastal hiking trails in the east, with breathtaking wilderness trails less than 30 minutes from the middle of the city. Some routes traverse the region's protected areas, while others cross inner-city parks and venture on the islands in Halifax harbour. Winding around lakes, along the ocean, in regional parks, and even through the middle of the city, Halifax's trails offer fascinating routes for visitors, families, and serious or Sunday hikers.

In History and Revolution, a group of respected historians confronts the conservative, revisionist trends in historical enquiry that have been dominant in the last twenty years. Ranging from an exploration of the English, French, and Russian revolutions and their treatment by revisionist historiography, to the debates and themes arising from attempts to downplay revolution's role in history, History and Revolution also engages with several prominent revisionist historians, including Orlando Figes, Conrad Russell and Simon Schama. This important book shows the inability of revisionism to explain why millions are moved to act in defence of political causes, and why specific political currents emerge, and is a significant reassertion of the concept of revolution in human development.

The first Plan B collection showcases a wide variety of plans gone sideways — private eyes getting stuck on cases they really don’t want to take, petty criminals getting in over their heads, law enforcement professionals on the wrong side of the bars, and upstanding citizens finding themselves to be not so law-abiding after all. These stories are as varied as they are excellent — there are light-hearted tales to make you smile, literary pieces that challenge the definition of crime writing, and realistic portraits of difficult and disturbing decisions. Whatever your tastes, I’m sure you’ll find something to enjoy here and maybe something to surprise you.
