Baylor University Press Medieval Spirituality
Book SynopsisExploring medieval spirituality invites us to delve into a remote world. This introduction is a guide to understanding how medieval believers experienced divine presence in manifold ways. God became real in the sacraments, above all on the altar, when the Eucharist was celebrated. He remained present after the celebration in the host, piously venerated in the lives of the saints as well as in images depicting the saints or Christ himself. He spoke through his Word. Common worshipers found him at particular holy sites. In Medieval Spirituality, Volker Leppin lays out the tapestry of how Christians in the Middle Ages encountered God. Attention is given to the particular objects thought to represent God; anyone could interact with the creator by approaching these objects through all their senses. Sometimes, even human performance made him present through reenactment, either in real life, like Francis of Assisi who became a sort of "second Christ"; or on stage, as in passion plays staged in church or public. Guided by these concepts of representation and reenactment, Leppin launches a journey not only through late medieval religious practice but through the entirety of European culture from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, particularly literature and the arts. In six succinct chapters, the volume gives a helpful overview of how medieval spiritual culture coped with the experience of distance from Godexpressed in philosophical terms or in the notion of penanceand how it overcame this distance through the tangible reexperience of God's descent to the world. The narrative presents telling episodes from medieval sources, binding them together into a coherent theoretical framework that makes present to us medieval piety in all its temporal and mental distance from our time, witness to a single but significant component of the diverse expressions of Christianity.

University of Toronto Press Not Fair Enough
Book SynopsisNot Fair Enough offers a fresh perspective on the barriers to true equal opportunity in Canada. Challenging the conventional focus on labour market earnings, this book examines both sides of GDP – income from labour and income from capital – highlighting the critical role of inherited wealth in sustaining Canada’s financial aristocracy of great family fortunes. Through a compelling exploration of both upward and downward social mobility, the book reveals the hidden mechanisms that reinforce inherited privilege and the persistent barriers to change.Challenging the myth of a meritocratic society, Not Fair Enough makes a compelling case for systemic reform – calling not only for expanded opportunities but also for a stronger social safety net to mitigate the realities of downward mobility. With a sharp focus on taxation of large inheritances, the vital role of unions, and the impact of progressive social policies, this book presents a powerful call to action for a fairer, more just economy. Engaging and thought-provoking, it is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of economic equality in Canada.

University of Toronto Press Written in Blood
Book SynopsisWritten in Blood is an urgent exploration of how disasters happen – and how they can be prevented.Award-winning author and physician Brodie Ramin, trained in prevention through his work in primary care and addiction, explores how we can scale up preventative strategies and apply them at a societal level: from the wreckage of plane crashes and pandemics to nuclear catastrophes, industrial accidents, and natural disasters.Through gripping case studies – from the Notre Dame fire to Fukushima – Ramin dissects the human errors, systemic failures, and overlooked warning signs that lead to catastrophe. At its core, the book argues that prevention is not only possible but essential – we must act before disaster strikes, rather than learning only in its aftermath. Drawing on frameworks like James Reason’s Swiss cheese model of error and insights from high-reliability organizations, Ramin shows how risk compounds when safeguards fail – and how layered defenses can save lives. He offers a critical intervention: by adopting a prevention mindset and overcoming our cognitive biases, we can proactively solve problems in our personal lives, our organizations, and our society, before the next crisis unfolds.Blending history, psychology, and public policy, Written in Blood is a compelling call to rethink how we manage risk, before it’s too late.
