She walked the abandoned streets of Hong Kong to take food to her daughter's father, a prisoner of war. She fought off the advances of overzealous Yugoslavian diplomats, found overlooked details of world history in a dentist's kitchen in Sarajevo. She traveled alone to Mexico. She traveled alone to Congo. She traveled alone to the American South. She married Hemingway. She married a Chinese poet-playboy-publisher, then married a British war hero. She fell in love with H. G. Wells. She gave birth and raised a child on her own. She landed on the front page of the newspaper. She wrote for the great magazines of her time--Vogue, The New Yorker, Harper's Bazaar. She wrote a play. She wrote a memoir. She wrote a genre-breaking travel narrative. She wrote bestsellers. She wrote and wrote and wrote. She changed the very way we think about writing and the way journalists craft stories--which sources are viable, which details are important--and the way women move and work in the world. She was Martha Gellhorn. She was Emily "Mickey" Hahn. She was Rebecca West. Each woman was starry-eyed for success, for adventure, and helped ensure that other starry and restless women could make unforgettable lives for themselves. They fought for their lives and their work. They were praised and criticized for it all.]]></description><link>https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3996926</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3996926</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cooke, Julia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3996926040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Three Women Who Changed Work, Writing, and the World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374609788/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Precarious Enterprise]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 1970, Scott McIntyre cofounded what became Canadian publisher Douglas & McIntyre. In the intervening years, he has watched the rise and fall of publishers, booksellers, and book trends from every corner of the industry. He saw the founding of a significant independent Canadian publisher in British Columbia, the growth of Indigenous literature and government support for publishers, and the increasing global demand for Canadian books. Scott McIntyre has lived the story of Canadian book publishing. Beginning his career at McClelland & Stewart in 1967, he went on to cofound his own publishing house, Douglas & McIntyre, in 1970 and made his mark on the industry amid the country's exhilarating literary coming-of-age. Becoming one of Canada's largest and most respected publishing houses and among the first to embrace Indigenous issues, Douglas & McIntyre and its associated children's publisher, Groundwood Books, published some 900 authors and 2,000 books in less than 50 years. For McIntyre, the authors always came first, and he worked closely with many important figures, including Doris Shadbolt, Wayson Choy, Richard Wagamese, Anna Porter, Will Ferguson, Doug Coupland, Hugh Brody, Robert Bringhurst, Wade Davis, and Farley Mowat. Telling stories featuring a colourful array of characters who rebuilt the publishing world following WWII and anecdotes about how book publishing works, McIntyre touches upon the guiding philosophy and historic traditions still animating the industry today. More than the story of one publisher and his company, this is a first-person account of the buoyant period when writers, their books, and the companies who published them changed the nation"--]]></description><link>https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3971898</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3971898</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McIntyre, Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3971898040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Making A Life in Canadian Publishing</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770418196/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every Day I Read]]></title><description><![CDATA[Why do we read?

Maria Ressa is one of the most renowned international journalists of our time. For decades, she challenged corruption and malfeasance in her native country, the Philippines, on its rocky path from an authoritarian state to a democracy. As a reporter from CNN, she transformed news coverage in her region, which led her in 2012 to create a new and innovative online news organization, Rappler. Harnessing the emerging power of social media, Rappler crowdsourced breaking news, found pivotal sources and tips, harnessed collective action for climate change, and helped increase voter knowledge and participation in elections. But by their fifth year of existence, Rappler had gone from being lauded for its ideas to being targeted by the new Philippine government, and made Ressa an enemy of her country's most powerful man: President Duterte. Still, she did not let up, tracking government seeded disinformation networks which spread lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate. Hounded by the state and its allies using the legal system to silence her, accused of numerous crimes, and charged with cyberlibel for which she was found guilty, Ressa faces years in prison and thousands in fines. There is another adversary Ressa is battling. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is also the story of how the creep towards authoritarianism, in the Phillipines and around the world, has been aided and abetted by the social media companies. Ressa exposes how they have allowed their platforms to spread a virus of lies that infect each of us, pitting us against one another, igniting, even creating, our fears, anger, and hate, and how this has accelerated the rise of authoritarians and dictators around the world. She maps a network of disinformation-a heinous web of cause and effect-that has netted the globe: from Duterte's drug wars to America's Capitol Hill; Britain's Brexit to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare; Facebook and Silicon Valley to our own clicks and votes. Democracy is fragile. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is an urgent cry for Western readers to recognize and understand the dangers to our freedoms before it is too late. It is a book for anyone who might take democracy for granted, written by someone who never would. And in telling her dramatic and turbulent and courageous story, Ressa forces readers to ask themselves the same question she and her colleagues ask every day: What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?"--]]></description><link>https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3943419</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3943419</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ressa, Maria]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://raymond.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3943419040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Fight for Our Future</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063257528/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncle John's Actual and Factual Bathroom Reader]]></title><description><![CDATA["Uncle John and his team of devoted researchers are back again with an all-new collection of weird news stories, odd historical events, dubious 'scientific' theories, jaw-dropping lists, and more.
