Deep Undercover

My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America

By: Jack Barsky

One decision can end everything . . . or lead to unlikely redemption. Millions watched the CBS 60 Minutes special on Jack Barsky in 2015. Now, in this fascinating memoir, the Soviet KGB agent tells his story of gut-wrenching choices, appalling betrayals, his turbulent inner world, and the secret life he lived for years without getting caught. On October 8, 1978, a Canadian national by the name of William Dyson stepped off a plane at O’Hare International Airport and proceeded toward Customs and Immigration. Two days later, William Dyson ceased to exist. The identity was a KGB forgery, used to get one of their own—a young, ambitious East German agent—into the United States. The plan succeeded, and the spy’s new identity was born: Jack Barsky. He would work undercover for the next decade, carrying out secret operations during the Cold War years . . . until a surprising shift in his allegiance challenged everything he thought he believed. Deep Undercover will reveal the secret life of this man without a country and tell the story no one ever expected him to tell.

Imposing Their Will

An Organizational History of Jewish Toronto, 1933-1948

By: Jack Lipinsky

Showing how issues such as immigration restrictions, poverty, anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust contributed to cooperation between institutions and individuals, Jack Lipinsky provides compelling insights into the formation of one of the world's great Jewish communities. He studies the re-emergence of the Canadian Jewish Congress, the establishment of the Toronto Free Hebrew School, the rise of professionalism in the various philanthropic organisations, and traces the community's shift away from the influence of Montreal. An illuminating look at the growth and strength of a community, Imposing Their Will provides valuable new ways to understand Canadian Jewry, the diaspora, ethnic governance, and the development of Canadian multiculturalism.

The Death Café Movement

Exploring the Horizons of Mortality

By: Jack Fong

This sociological work examines the phenomenon of the Death Café, a regular gathering of strangers from all walks of life who engage in “death talk” over coffee, tea, and desserts. Using insightful theoretical frameworks, Fong explores the common themes that constitute a “death identity” and reveals how Café attendees are inspired to live in light of death because of death. Fong examines how the participants’ embrace of self-sovereignty and confrontation of mortality revive their awareness of and appreciation for shared humanity. While divisive identity politics continue to foster neo-tribalisms and the construction of myriad “others,” Fong makes visible how those who participate in Death Cafés end up building community while being inspired toward living more fulfilling lives. Through death talk unfettered from systemic control, they end up feeling more agency over their own lived lives as well as being more conscious of the possibility of a good death. According to Fong, participants in this phenomenon offer us a sublime way to confront the facticity of our own demise—by gathering as one.

This Time, This Place

My Life in War, the White House, and Hollywood

By: Jack Valenti

With the nation at war in the 1940s, 22-year-old Jack Valenti flew combat in Italy. He was in that fateful Dallas motorcade in 1963, flew back to Washington with the new president, and for three years worked in the inner circle of the White House as special assistant to President Johnson. Then, for the next 38 years, with American society and popular culture undergoing a revolutionary transformation, Valenti was the public face of Hollywood in his capacity as head of the Motion Picture Association of America. From growing up poor in a neighborhood of Greek and Italian immigrants in Houston to rising to the highest summits both of national government and Hollywood, Valenti has led several lives. Here is a candid reflection of the life of a brilliantly successful man who helped to shape politics and entertainment in the second half of the twentieth century.

Living Mirrors

A Coral Reef Adventure

By: Jack Stephens

Not far beneath the surface of the sea wait the world's last unexplored wild places. On the sun-drenched crests of tropical coral reefs and in the dim uncharted waters just below them live the most biologically productive and diverse communities on our planet. No ecosystem is more varied and beautiful. And none is in more danger of perishing in our lifetimes. Rushing to the aid of these robust-yet-fragile natural treasures are adventurous men and women eager to face the challenge of discovering, recording, and preserving these imperiled ecosystems and the intresting creatures that call them home. Living Mirrors: A Coral Reef Adventure introduces us to Howard and Michele Hall, the husband-wife underwater cinematography team who have joined forces with biologists, conservationists and filmmakers to bring the rest of us the most intimate look at coral reefs and the lands, seas and peoples around them, we may ever get. Living Mirrors is the companion volume to MacGillivray Freeman Film's documentary feature Coral Reef Adventure, filmed exclusively for IMAX theatres and large format cinemas. A richly illustrated exploration of corals and the worlds they create, Living Mirrors reveals the secrets of the reef and reflects them above the waterline where we might appreciate the wider implications of a realm vital to the balance of the rest of our world and worthy of our efforts to preserve it now and for generations to come.

The Transformative Self

Personal Growth, Narrative Identity, and the Good Life

By: Jack J. Bauer

The Transformative Self explores three of life's perennial questions: How do we make sense of our lives? What is a good life? How do we create one? In this comprehensive volume, developmental psychologist Jack J. Bauer responds to those three questions by integrating three main areas of study-narrative identity, the good life, and personal growth-to present an innovative model of humane flourishing and human development. The Transformative Self synthesizes an extensive range of scholarship, from scientific research in psychology to work in philosophy, literature, history, cultural studies, and more. The result is a cohesive framework for understanding how personal and cultural stories shape our development and how, through those stories, we might cultivate the growth of happiness, love, and wisdom for the self and others.
