According to the CNDA (creative non directive approach) developed by Colette Portelance, individuals aiming to offer assistance or support to others in their personal or professional lives must first learn to know, understand, and accept themselves. Only then will those in the helping role be able to feel and show true acceptance, trust, and love towards those they are helping, enabling them to fulfil their creative potential and find greater happiness and harmony in their lives.

The stories told in this collection, though tragic for many, illustrate the steadfast determination and courage of people in the face of misfortune and extreme distress. From the lesser-known weed outbreaks and tornadoes to the world-wide influenza outbreak in 1918 that devastated many Calgary families, these stories focus on the human side of these disasters. It may be a heroic individual or the collective response of a community, but what is truly remarkable in these stories is the human response to the world being turned upside down by famine and disease, by flood, fire, or rock slide, by wind and cold, by dynamite or gas explosions, or even by the seemingly mundane threat of weeds upon crops. It is the resolution to continue to fight and the persistence of the human spirit and its adaptability to challenges that is the true story of a century of development in western Canada

Minimal text and stunning photographs from around the world describe the remarkable, and often dangerous, journeys children make every day on their way to and from school. No simple school bus picks them up each day, but rather children travel through disaster zones, cross rapids, climb mountains, and maneuver on ziplines daily to get to the classroom. Some of them even carry their desks! In this beautiful picture book for young readers, every page speaks to the desire for an education and the physical commitment the children make each day as they journey to school.

Finding a Way to the Heart examines race, gender, identity, and colonization from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth century, and illustrates Van Kirk’s extensive influence on a generation of feminist scholarship.

A thrilling true story that follows the adventures of three medical professionals and their dog as they leave behind a thriving practice and head off on the journey of their lives aboard a 52-foot yacht named Nessie. With little experience aside from research and sailing lessons, they pack up two years' worth of food and embark from Holland onto the North Sea. With new experiences, stunning landscapes and unexpected danger around every corner, the trio sails around Europe and Africa. As part of their mission to help those less fortunate, they set up a makeshift clinic in the jungles of Africa and offer medicine and advice to those who need it before continuing on to their final destination of Halifax, Canada. This gripping book serves as both encouragement and a cautionary tale; with stories of surviving hurricanes, and even piracy, The Most Adventurous, The Most Arduous, and the Longest Way to Canada will have you on the edge of your seat-- but the tranquil scenes of sitting on the deck watching whales and dolphins swim by will remind you why so many people dream of sailing away into the sunset.
