Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine
comes this fully authorized graphic novel adaptation. The Beatles

In this first-hand account of the earliest days of settlement in
the Canadian West, William Wallace conveys a sense of unspoken
courage--the courage that was needed to make a fresh start in a
strange new land.
Two professors look at the mystique around universities and the
consequences of "credentialism." For decades, we have promoted the
idea that a university degree is a passport to future career
success. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison argue that the over-promotion
of higher education and university degrees is actually undermining
the lives of young people, saddling them with enormous debts, and
costing governments huge amounts of money. As the young flock to
universities in ever-increasing numbers, fewer of them than ever
find the elusive "good jobs" that they are pursuing. In fact, many
of those jobs no longer exist. We are in the midst of a youth
employment crisis that is global in proportion, and we are facing
serious misunderstandings about the unfolding career prospects for
young adults entering a world of rapid technological change. Ken
Coates and Bill Morrison explore the impacts of universities
turning out graduates with the wrong skills, and the consequences
of vanishing job opportunities.
On October 23, 1918, a storm rose and the Canadian Pacific
steamer "Princess Sophia" ran aground on Vanderbilt Reef, northwest
of Juneau, Alaska. Tragically, there were no survivors. The 353
aboard represented a significant cross-section of the population of
the Yukon and Alaska, and their loss was a heavy blow to a society
that, with the end of the gold rush, was already in decline. This
book tells the dramatic stories of many of the passengers, how they
had gone to the north, what they did there, and why they were
leaving that fall, and sheds light on a little-known aspect of
Alaska's history.
