Atlantic Canada has long been seen as a "have-not" region in terms of economic performance. Many factors have played into this underperformance: stagnation in population growth, chronic unemployment, an aging population, a high number of people living in rural communities, and an overdependence on government. But that story is changing. New opportunities are emerging in areas such as natural resources--especially in light of the federal government's goal of net zero by 2050. Post-secondary education has been playing a significant role in immigrant attraction, a key factor in the region's economic prosperity, especially in smaller urban communities. Incubators and accelerators have led to a vibrant start-up community and the re-emergence of a strong entrepreneurial environment in Atlantic Canada. Opportunities now exist for Atlantic Canada to become a leader in the green economy through new energy alternatives including tidal power, wind power, green hydrogen, and small modular reactors. Successful economic clusters, including the PEI Bio-Alliance and Canada's Ocean Supercluster, are driving significant growth in various parts of Atlantic Canada. In Toward Prosperity, social scientist Don Mills and economist David Campbell (co-hosts of the Insights podcast) examine, with the aid of numerous explanatory graphics and visuals, the economic transformation that is currently under way in Atlantic Canada and provide a blueprint for sustaining that momentum in the long term.

Does God still have a plan for the Jewish people? Does this plan include the restoration of the modern state of Israel? David Campbell seeks to answer these two critical questions in Israel and the Land Promise in Biblical Prophecy. Readers will find an insightful and well-researched perspective as Campbell explores the Biblical theme of the loss and restoration of God's kingdom, which is in fact the storyline of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

A unique insider perspective of daily life in New York City's most notorious house of correction While most people behind bars at Rikers Island are detainees awaiting the settlement of their cases, a smaller population have already been convicted and are serving sentences deemed too short for the state prison system. These stints are called "city time." The sentences range from a few days to a year, and are generally served within large, open dormitories lacking in privacy and sanitation. Within these spaces, incarcerated people reproduce an elaborate set of rules, rituals, and relationships, as a means both of survival and of giving meaning to the time taken from them. Written by David Campbell and Jarrod Shanahan, who both served sentences at Rikers, City Time reflects its authors' personal experiences and observations of short-stay incarceration to present a nuanced and vivid account of a social world kept locked away from the public eye. The authors reconstruct the daily realities of sanitation, nourishment, recreation, work, and other necessary activities, and emphasize the complex interpersonal relationships that emerge in response to city time. Simultaneously, they paint a grim and urgent picture of structural racism, class violence, and the disastrous lack of mental health and substance abuse resources for poor New Yorkers, who are shuttled in and out of city time sentences as "frequent flyers." Beginning with the authors' own processes of intake, and ending with the ritual of late-night release, City Time takes readers behind the splashy headlines to depict, in intimately human terms, the rich and variegated social world unfolding, at this very moment, on Rikers Island.

A brand new supernatural graphic novel that is absolutely loaded with haunting visuals set in a misty isolated town off the coast of County Antrim. It's 1711, a woman with demons of her own - has begun a quest to root the evil out of her village. The stakes are real. The Devil is real. This is a spine-tingling feminist folktale of fear and faith set in Northern Ireland. Based on the successful history of Islandmagee witches by A. Sneddon, 'Possessed By the Devil: The Islandmagee Witches And Ireland's Only Mass Witchcraft Trial' (Dublin 2013).

Written by one of the leading contributors to the relational theory of contract, Contractual Relations authoritatively explains the form of the existing law of contract by relating it to its economic, legal, and sociological foundations. This volume demonstrates that economic exchange and legal contract rest on a moral relationship by which each party legitimately pursues its self-interest through recognition of the self-interest of the other. This essential relationship of mutual recognition is in stark contrast to the pursuit of solipsistic self-interest that is central to the classical law of contract. Self-interest of this sort is not morally defensible, nor does it enhance economic welfare. It is for these reasons that the classical law is legally incoherent. The fundamental inadequacies of the classical law's treatment of agreement, consideration, and remedy have emerged as the doctrines of the positive law of contract have been progressively developed to give effect to the relationship of mutual recognition. The welfarist criticism of the classical law has, however, failed to develop a workable concept of self-interest, and so is at odds with what must be retained from the classical law's facilitation of economic exchange and the market economy. The relational law of contract restates self-interest in a morally, economically, and legally attractive manner as the foundation of the social market economy of liberal socialism. Contractual Relations is a fundamental critique of the classical law of contract and the welfarist response to the classical law, and a major statement of the relational theory of contract. This is an essential work for academics, advanced students, and others wishing to understand the fundamental law, economics and sociology of contract and exchange.

I first drafted a few of these poems as long ago as 50 years, when I branched out from landscape painting into poetry, expanding the direct observation of my surroundings from the visual to the verbal. The book divides distinctly into 3 thematic sections: poems about the arts, animals, old age. Arts comprises Visual, Musical, Literary. Visual is dominated by 17th Century Dutch, the first painters to focus on landscape for its own sake, and also raised portraiture to new levels. Also included are my contemporary fellow realist painters. Next come examples of Music that have touched me deeply, from work-gang chants heard as a child, to Appalachian folk songs which helped introduce me to real-life emotions, to the sane life material as expanded by Bach and Beethoven. The Literary section touches mainly on poets who became important to me, and have remained so. The one non-poet is F. Scott Fitzgerald, who, for no logical reason that I could find, is buried in my hometown. This poem reflects on the theme of becoming estranged from one's origins. Animal Industry is the next section, being observations of creatures going about their natural lives or being hunted by us. On this theme is a poem about the 17th Century beaver trade in New England. Sunset, the title of the book's final section, has a two-fold meaning. My wife and I see a sunset every day of the year from the 4th floor studio where we live. Secondly, I'm in the sunset years. I write about being careful in walking, about over-thinking every physical and mental move while still maintaining a creative life. The conclusion of every sunset is, of course, darkness, though not, in terms of a lifetime, before arriving at a broad view of the world beyond the personal. "I have been pleased to publish David Campbell's poetry in several issues of my publication since 2003, and happy to see two of them - 'Work' and 'Doctor King and the Expatriate'- included in his fine new collection, Arts and Animals. This collection focuses on such interests as artists he's appreciated, animals, and a concluding section on senior life. A visual artist himself, David is especially adept at wordplay, striking images, and strong musicality ('end-of-winter pine cones / gnawed to tattered spines / in squirrelish desperation'). From the subjects he chooses to the channeling of his thoughts into these poems, David guides us 'in my rootedness, having yet to find/ in the arrowing future a longing back / to a landscape maintained in the unsettled / heart and breath by music.' Readers will savor the journey, and his stops along the way."-David MessineoPublisher/Poetry EditorSensations Magazine
