It's 1972. When hot-headed, impetuous Jack Muir gets off the ship in Durban, he fails to get back on. Instead, he sails into misadventure, fleeing the stifling town of Genoralup to try to lose himself in South Africa at the height of apartheid. But the past has a way of catching up with you, and soon Jack is running again, this time to a kibbutz in Israel. In the course of a lifetime, Jack will travel far, always caught between fleeing from and seeking those things he needs: a mother's precious gift, a lover in a time of war, the loss of a child, a kind and steady woman. And, across time and across continents, old Jack Muir will remember those who helped him become a decent man, a better father and a friend.

Published to celebrate The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 150th anniversary, Making The Met, 1870–2020 examines the institution’s evolution from an idea—that art can inspire anyone who has access to it—to one of the most beloved global collections in the world. Focusing on key transformational moments, this richly illustrated book provides insight into the visionary figures and events that led The Met in new directions. Among the many topics explored are the impact of momentous acquisitions, the central importance of education and accessibility, the collaboration that resulted from international excavations, the Museum’s role in preserving cultural heritage, and its interaction with contemporary art and artists. Complementing this fascinating history are more than two hundred works that changed the very way we look at art, as well as rarely seen archival and behind-the-scenes images. In the final chapter, Met Director Max Hollein offers a meditation on evolving approaches to collecting art from around the world, strategies for reaching new and diverse audiences, and the role of museums today.

A history of corruption and mismanagement plagues Linwood Bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Human Resources office had decided that ex Army Officers and CRA officers would be good Official Receivers. Their skills did not match the requirements. This caused large anomalies in the Branch. The lack of special training in detecting malfeasance invited those with fraud in mind. The area of rehabilitation was forgotten. When Tim Crozier steps in as the new Federal Receiving Officer in Linwood, Ontario, he intends to restore order and justice to the office where violations had been prevalent. Tim uses his trained eye to follow the trail of malfeasance and right the wrongs left behind. Standing in the way of Tim’s good intentions include a bully lawyer, hidden assets, and an out-of-line trustee. With the help of his diligent assistants, Comfort and Sophie, Tim introduces a new era at Linwood Bankruptcy. His example results in sound training for all Official Receivers.
