Chapter 7 Jodi Picoult takes on the abortion debate in latest novel, "A Spark of Light" The Washington Post calls Jodi Picoult the ‘Queen of ethical dilemma fiction'. The best selling author of twenty five books has tackled topics like race relations, school shootings, and emancipation. In her new novel, A Spark of Light, Picoult tackles the controversial issue of abortion. The novel explores the results of a heart-stopping event, when a gunman opens fire on Mississippi's sole remaining women's reproductive health clinic. From the police hostage negotiator attempting to resolve the crisis, to his fifteen-year-old daughter visiting the clinic, to a seventeen-year-old woman in hospital after attempting to self-terminate a pregnancy, A Spark of Light shares the complex lives of ordinary people in spellbinding prose.

So, are the waters off Nova Scotia no longer safe?! Guest: Dr. Bob HueterChief Science Advisor, OCEARCH   Chapter 10 Beaverton author takes new approach to Canadian history There is a new media empire in Canada--and unlike others, it is honest about being "fake news." Its satirical headlines have been misinforming Canadians across the country and the world, using parody to shine a light on the nation. What started as an immensely popular online newspaper led to a hit TV show delivering biting commentary on Canadian culture, politics, and the biggest news stories. Now, in its first book, The Beaverton looks back over Canada's past to show how we became the ridiculous nation we are today. Through the lens of the venerable Beaverton, one of Canada's oldest and proudest newspaper, the editors share the headlines and articles that defined the times. From the challenging days of colonization ("Angry New France mother calls son by using all of his 329 middle and family names") to the earliest days of nationhood ("Paternity test confirms John A. actual father of Confederation"), from war heritage ("Vimy Ridge: Canada becomes a nation after killing Germans for Britain on French soil") right up to the twenty-first century ("Harper government offers apology to victims of first long-form census")--this is Canada like you've never seen it. Part mock-history, part fake scrapbook, and fully illustrated with original art and historical images,* The Beaverton Presents Glorious and/or Free is a hilarious and ruthless stab at our national myths and legends. And, like all great satire, it's funny because it's true.
