From Christopher Columbus taking sugar from the Canary Islands back to Europe -- setting in motion the slave trade in sugar workers and sparking wars -- to its use in the processed and fast-food industry whose calories feed health concerns such as type 2 diabetes, sugar's history has a bitter taste for [Elizabeth Abbott], the author of A History of Celibacy. The slave trade abolitionists, as an aside, included many of England's chocolate manufacturing families whose economic success rested in part on sugar availability and on cocoa, which itself was harvested in less than desirable working conditions, as Toronto journalist Carol Off detailed so well in her 2007 book, Bitter Chocolate: Investigating the Dark Side of the World's Most Seductive Sweet. All is not bitter in the world of suga...

Some of the characters he's encountered are: a customer who'd bring a ruler to the shop because he wanted only short books; G. Legman, the erotica expert who hated fiction; Sheri Martinelli, friend and muse of such poets as Pound, Cummings and Bukowski (she drove up to the shop in "the oldest Winnebago I have ever seen" and nearly an hour later "emerged dressed entirely in black.... She looked as if she had stepped out of a Victorian melodrama"). Often collections made available by an eccentric's estate included more than books. Collector Paul Linebarger left, along with his "absolutely wonderful" library, a huge pile of Mongolian comic books and several drawers full of brassieres. After stating that "the second-hand book business, both as a trade and a subculture, has existed for centu...

Slavery was a dominant phenomenon of antiquity. Gradually it has declined in the modern world. The blessings of modern moral attitudes and virtues were instrumental for these structural changes. Recently, child trafficking, especially female child trafficking has become a painful reality in Bangladesh. This child trafficking has been occurring internally and also across the border to India, Pakistan, Malaysia and many Middle Eastern countries. The rate of growth of this trafficking has been increasing alarmingly in this country. Every year several hundred (under the age of eighteen) children are being trafficked abroad. These trafficked children are adapting to a new life style which is different from the life style had they lived in their normal (life style which they supposed to follo...

The Darien Gap, Travels In The Rainforest Of Panama, is by Martin Mitchison, from Harbour Publishing. It's described as "one man's journey of survival and self-discovery at the ends of the earth.'' Follow [Jeff Fuchs] on a remarkable, awe-inspiring journey deep into the Far East as he attempts to be the first westerner to traverse all 1,500 perilous miles of the Tea Horse Road, one of the ancient world's legendary trade routes,'' states the publisher, Penguin Group (Canada). "The hotel early booking bonuses are great offers," says Pat Rachey, general manager for central and western Canada for Signature Vacations. "The hotels provide us with special rates to promote for customers who book and pay in full by select dates. The savings range from $60 to $1,920 per couple depending on the h...

[Kirkus], you see, was notoriously harsh. Whereas Publishers Weekly often seems like a booster for the trade, and Booklist, another book industry magazine, usually manages to find something nice to say about even the most mediocre prose, Kirkus took no prisoners. On Dave Eggers' bestselling and much-revered memoir, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Kirkus proclaimed: "It isn't. I well remember the day my agent looked at me soberly and said, "Your novel got a not-great Kirkus review." Having already received a not-even-good Kirkus review for my previous book, I could only reply with a (tediously adolescent, though not all disingenuous) "Yeah, so?" But it also kind of stung. That's right, you no longer have to be an author, musician or filmmaker to be subject to the haphazard vi...

Oh, the Leafs make money, all right. But that's the only thing they're good at, and it has far more to do with the insatiable and bewildering lust for the franchise than any wisdom from above. Please, this team survived Harold Ballard. That means no amount of idiocy or irrational decision making on the part of any temporary caretaker could permit the Leafs from making millions in profit. That's like giving someone credit for sunshine. Indeed, just to survey the horror story that has been the Toronto Maple Leafs first draft picks over the last two decades -- at least the precious few they didn't trade away for overpaid, past-their-due-date players such as Owen Nolan and Brian Leetch -- is like browsing through The Great Book of Freaks. It's not that Leafs top draft picks don't have long,...

This paper provides further evidence on the value premium using Canadian data from 1985-2005 and a search process involving both price to earnings (P/E) and price to book value (P/BV) ratios. The study documents a consistently strong value premium over the sample period, which persisted in both bull and bear markets, as well as in recessions and recoveries. Moreover, the paper shows that a P/E based search process did a better job of identifying value stocks and arriving at more consistent and sizeable value premium than did a search process based on P/BVs.
