Fiction. Young Adult. ARROW THROUGH THE AXES concludes the "Odyssey of a Slave" trilogy that began with the Red Maple-nominated TORN FROM TROY, retelling Homer's Odyssey. The slave Alexi, now free of his Greek captors, infiltrates the Greek strongholds of the Bronze Age in search of his sister. In so doing he participates in the stories of Orestes, son of Agamemnon, as he seeks revenge for his father's murder, and of Telemachus, son of Odysseus, who lands on Ithaca, the home island of Odysseus, just in time to witness the arrival of a mysterious stranger. As Alexi comes to understand the damage that the Trojan War has visited upon its victors, both he and the reader are forced to confront an unpleasant truth, while Alexi must decide where his allegiance really lies. Re-casting the Odyssey as a YA adventure, this trilogy brings ancient mythology to life in a way that traditional retellings cannot. We see what life would have been like for Bronze-Age warriors as Bowman interweaves adventure, ritual and historical detail into a realistic and compelling narrative. Readers who have experienced pop mythology, and now want to dive deeper, will find ARROW THROUGH THE AXES especially satisfying, but all readers will enjoy this powerful excursion into the classic mythology that shaped western culture.

The controversial cancellation of the Avro Arrow - an extraordinary achievement of Canadian military aviation - continues to inspire debate today. When the program was scrapped in 1959, all completed aircraft and those awaiting assembly were destroyed, along with tooling and technical information. Was abandoning the program the right decision? Did Canada lose more than it gained?

The Element reconstructs, analyses and compares different derivational routes to a grounding of the Arrow of Time in entropy. It also evaluates the link between entropy and visible disorder, and the related claim of an alignment of the Arrow of Time with a development from order to visible disorder. The Element identifies three different entropy-groundings for the Arrow of Time: (i) the Empirical Arrow of Time, (ii) the Universal Statistical Arrow of Time, and (iii) the Local Statistical Arrow of Time. The Element will also demonstrate that it is unlikely that high entropy states will always coincide with visible disorder. Therefore, it will dispute that there is a strong link between the Arrow of Time and visible disorder.

What is Reality? What is the role of human consciousness in the shaping of such a concept? These questions are as old as mankind and gave rise to the MIND-MATTER dualism which preoccupied so many physicists: Schrödinger, Wigner, etc. This book considers the problem within the realm of contemporary physics, and shows that it could be related to that of ultimate entities. The author develops the viewpoint according to which human thinking activities are fruit of the Cosmos and of its combinatorial activity. Ultimate entities, the bricks out of which our universe is made, could be hidden, as a primordial alphabet, in the foundations of the pyramid of increasing complexity, which seems to unfold as a language and to culminate in the emergence of organized and thinking structures. This is analyzed in the context of cosmological screening and horizons (an expression of our lack of access to totality) where macroscopic and microscopic can mingle, where a unification of interactions and a matching of available arrows of time can take place. This context is also that of quantum evaporation of particle-antiparticle like entities, which triggers entropy increase, and of the overlap between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The problem of an (global) origin of the cruising (and evanescent) "Now" is considered. A creative principle (reminiscent of the biological mitosis) is also presented which is the generator of the "event" through breaking of temporal symmetry. In this perspective, time-flow is an emergent concept: Creation of the World is declined priority on the concept of "coming into existence". Participant to the origin of the World, all (possibly virtual) processes are able to culminate into the phenomenon of consciousness and Self-Awareness.

For the millions of Canadians who viewed the 1997 mini-series "the Arrow" Crawford Gordon was brought to life by Dan Aykroyd's portrayal of the flamboyant president of A.V. Roe. But Crawford Gordon's story is much, much more. Things did come easily for him and he seemed to achieve success in half the time and at a younger age than most. Graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McGill University in 1933 at the age of 19, Gordon rose rapidly in the business world to become controller for Canadian General Electric by age 21 and right-hand man to C.D. Howe during the war years. Before his 1967 death at age 52, Crawford Gordon ran two government departments, four multi-national corporations and held directorships in 10 major corporations. Some say he was one of the greatest industrialists and business minds this country has ever produced. Others say he was little more than a canny political cowboy who herded the imagination of the country into his money making schemes. Written in co-operation with the Gordon family, with access to his private papers, photos, and corporate documents, award-winning author Greig Stewart uncovers the colourful, charismatic, controversial and ultimately tragic life of the man who touched the lives of thousands of Canadians.
