Summary:
In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier David Boyd sets out to remedy Canada's environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canada's environmental laws and policies with those in the US, Australia, and the EU, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the causes of Canada's second-rate standards. Finally, he prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world's environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.

Summary:
Les organisateurs des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques de Paris 2024 ont obtenu carte blanche pour fabriquer en Seine-Saint-Denis la ville rêvée des promoteurs et investisseurs : moderne, innovante, lucrative. Sans pauvre, sans cité à la dérive, sans caillassage de voiture de police, un merveilleux produit d'appel pour nouveaux habitants bankable au pays de Vinci, Eiffage, et Nexity. Il faut regarder par la fenêtre de celles et ceux qui y habitent pour voir que l'« intérêt national » de cette opération a délogé 1500 personnes, détruit des jardins ouvriers, collé une voie d'accès routière à une école. Pourtant, à l'ombre de la puissante métropole parisienne, les contre-projets fleurissent et les désirs d'habiter une ville aussi diverse qu'égalitaire sont vivaces.

Summary:
"Fairy tales 3" brings together the most innovative entries to the third annual fairy tales competition, out of a field of over 1500 participants. The format of each story varies dramatically – from comics, to love stories, text message threads to police reports – but the mission of each is the same: to dramatically rethink how architecture addresses the real issues we face today. The submissions, handpicked by the star-studded jury of the contest, are a kaleidoscopic collection of stunning images and gripping stories, daringly experimenting in the visual realm as well as in the storytelling field. With a layout designed by Bruce Mau Design, Fairy Tales Volume 3 brings together 25 new architectural fairy tales.

Summary:
Marijuana, pot, weed, dope, Mary Jane, grass, ganja. After being criminalized for decades and contributing to surging prison populations, today a wave of legalization is sweeping the United States and the world. Advocates point to medical benefits of marijuana and the legal availability of substances such as alcohol. Issue 17 of CLOG examines the origins of both the medical and recreational use of cannabis, new delivery methods, legalization in the USA and abroad, police enforcement, and its growing acceptance in the wellness industry. The issue also includes an interview with a high-end cannabis distributor, investigates the world of drug testing, and takes an up-close look at a new hemp farm.

Summary:
In this collection, Solnit turns her attention to battles over meaning, place, language, and belonging at the heart of the defining crises of our time. She explores the way emotions shape political life, electoral politics, police shootings and gentrification, the life of an extraordinary man on death row, the pipeline protest at Standing Rock, and the existential threat posed by climate change. The work of changing the world sometimes requires changing the story, the names, and inventing or popularizing new names and terms and phrases. Calling things by their true names can also cut through the lies that excuse, disguise, avoid, or encourage inaction, indifference, obliviousness in the face of injustice and violence.
