Learning in a Time of Abundance

The Community Is the Curriculum

By: Dave Cormier

When enormous amounts of information are available at our fingertips, how do we learn the things we need to know? In a world overflowing with information, how can we adapt our learning methods to thrive? Dave Cormier, a pioneering figure in digital education, presents a thought-provoking manifesto in Learning in a Time of Abundance. A leading voice in digital learning, Cormier offers a fresh perspective on how we can face the uncertainty of a world where our challenges don't have clear answers amid an overwhelming digital landscape. Measuring knowledge through memorization and grades made more sense in a world where information was hard to come by. Cormier explores the cultural and teaching changes necessary to adapt in the digital age while emphasizing the importance of understanding how to navigate the vast sea of information we encounter every day, from answering questions like "Should my child play sports that often lead to concussions?" to "How should I chime in on that Facebook conversation on gender identity?" Delving into the history of traditional learning, Cormier addresses the pressing question of how we must transform our learning approaches to thrive in an era of endless information and complex decision making. This book is a must-read for those seeking guidance on how to adapt when we are overwhelmed by information overload. Whether it's understanding social media influences on children or making impactful decisions as citizens, Cormier empowers readers in the digital age to find their humility, trust effectively, and learn to apply their values in complex situations.

The Awesome Game

One Man's Incredible, Globe-Crushing Hockey Odyssey

By: Dave Hill

One man's search to answer the ultimate question in sports: Why is hockey so incredibly awesome? Dave Hill--author, actor, rock musician and stand-up comedian--is a truly outstanding American. For one thing, he's part Canadian (an advantage he explored in his previous book Parking the Moose). For another, and maybe this has something to do with his Canadian heritage, he's a totally obsessive fan of hockey. That makes him a minority within a minority: apparently only five percent of the US population admit to liking hockey more than any other sport. In his latest opus, Dave--who's from Cleveland, which hasn't had an NHL team since 1978--tackles this hockey conundrum with full force, drilling down into what makes hockey so damn important in so many parts of the world, despite the average American not recognizing the sport's preeminent greatness. His search for the very soul of hockey has taken him across the globe, from Poland to LA to Kenya, and brought him into contact with many of the sport's great and good. Humorous but heartfelt, Bill Bryson-like but hipper, this is arguably the greatest book ever written about hockey and definitely the one to be asking for at Christmas.

Bucktails and Fishtails

From Northern Waters and Woods

By: Dave Potter

Growing up at the end of the Great Depression, Dave Potter learned to appreciate the woods that surrounded his little town of Roxbury, Vermont. He was fly fishing by the time he was seven and lugging a camera with him at eleven. Intent on capturing all his great adventures, Dave was already well on his way to enjoying many fulfilling experiences in nature. In a collection of personal essays and poems inspired by nature, Dave provides a glimpse into what it was like to hunt out of an old deer camp, fly fish in a mountain stream, trout fish in a beaver pond, and catch a monster trophy fish after winning a battle in the water. Peppered with true-to-life colorful characters, his stories transport others through Vermont, Alaska, Maine, New York, and Quebec. Photographs vividly capture memories of good times as Dave highlights his greatest adventures in the northern woods and waters over the course of a lifetime. Bucktails and Fish Tails shares personal essays, poems, and photographs that track one man’s seven-decade journey through life, fishing adventures, and the joys of nature.

On a Cold Road

Tales of Adventure in Canadian Rock

By: Dave Bidini

David Bidini, rhythm guitarist with the Rheostatics, knows all too well what the life of a rock band in Canada involves: storied arenas one tour and bars wallpapered with photos of forgotten bands the next. Zit-speckled fans begging for a guitar pick and angry drunks chucking twenty-sixers and pint glasses. Opulent tour buses riding through apocalyptic snowstorms and cramped vans that reek of dope and beer. Brilliant performances and heart-sinking break-ups. Bidini has played all across the country many times, in venues as far flung and unalike as Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto and the Royal Albert Hotel in Winnipeg. In 1996, when the Rheostatics opened for the Tragically Hip on their Trouble at the Henhouse tour, Bidini kept a diary. In On a Cold Road he weaves his colourful tales about that tour with revealing and hilarious anecdotes from the pioneers of Canadian rock - including BTO, Goddo, the Stampeders, Max Webster, Crowbar, the Guess Who, Triumph, Trooper, Bruce Cockburn, Gale Garnett, and Tommy Chong - whom Bidini later interviewed in an effort to compare their experiences with his. The result is an original, vivid, and unforgettable picture of what it has meant, for the last forty years, to be a rock musician in Canada.

Life Wide Open

Dave Dion : No Holds Barred

By: Dave Dion

Dave Dion's brand new autobiography proves conclusively why he is considered the most popular Late Model driver in the Northeast. Working with long time announcer and journalist, Dave Moody, Dion talks passionately about his racing career and his family's personal struggle with alcoholism, the Vietnam War, and the pressures of decades on the road. Loaded with photography, it is the classic story of a rugged individualist who pieces together a moral code far more precious that the silver in his hundreds of trophies.
