Eating Ourselves Crazy
Many of us rely on foods to soothe, comfort and provide relief. The foods we choose actually exacerbate our stress, putting us at risk of falling into the emotional-eating cycle.
Eating Ourselves Crazy will arm you with information on how our brain, hormones and moods are key players in our eating habits. Overcome emotional-eating through foods and lifestyle practices that will enhance your moods, mental stamina and quality of life while you lose weight.

Hard Choices: Financial Exclusion, Fringe Banks and Poverty in Urban Canada
When low-income city dwellers lack access to mainstream banking services, many end up turning to ‘fringe banks,’ such as cheque-cashers and pawnshops, for some or all of their financial transactions.
Hard Choices thoroughly integrates economic and social data on consumer choice, bank behaviour, and government policy.
Buckland demonstrates why the current two-tier system of banking is becoming increasingly dysfunctional, especially in the context of new credit products that aggravate income inequality and stifle local economic growth.
