"In December, 2019, the world changed forever when cases of COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China before spreading rapidly across the globe. Colbie and Emma, two young friends traveling to Southeast Asia to teach English, take on an experience like none other once the virus begins to spread. Their journey through Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines faces many challenges and wonders as they immerse themselves in their new surroundings while navigating through the pandemic. Suddenly, they must try to catch a last flight from Manila after the virus has been declared a global issue and travelers are urged to return home. Will they make it safely back to Canada before international borders close?"
"One day while cleaning out a drawer packing for one of my many moves in the ensuing years, I came across the jar. I opened it for the first time. I poured several into my palm. That's when I realized they weren't American coins. The places and dates stunned me. My head spun. Some coins seemed warm as if my Dad had just been holding them. Why did he have them? What did he mean by saying they were my true legacy? I guess I'll have to wait until 2046 to find out. Until then, I can only imagine...."
"Over 8 million Canadians are providing unpaid, informal care work to elderly or disabled family members and friends, saving the government billions of dollars annually. This work is critical to the functioning of society, yet it has historically been performed silently and without reward. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately exacerbated the day-to-day challenges faced by caregivers, leaving them to fall through the cracks while the rest of the world struggles to adjust to a new normal. In an effort to turn the spotlight on this undervalued demographic, this book will highlight some the key challenges faced by informal caregivers of the following dependents; young children and youth, aging adults, and the chronically ill and disabled. By reading Caregiving and COVID-19: A Critique of Pandemic Privilege, you will gain insight into the intersectional experiences of caregivers both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ways in which the quality of life of these individuals can be improved in our post-pandemic world, and how you can play a part in making sure these caregivers receive care themselves.

"The Stigma and Societal Conflicts of People with Physical Disabilities examines society's perception of individuals with physical impairments, limitations in activities, and/or limited social participation and highlights the assumptions and marginalizing attitudes revolving around them. It shows how mental disorders can develop due to society's behaviour towards those with disabilities and how to properly respect and honour their fundamental human rights. Society must adopt a "temporarily able-bodied" attitude to deter stigma against individuals with disabilities and increase empathy to ultimately benefit all people."
