A Home from the Woods

Adventures and Methods Restoring and Building Authentic Log Cabins

By: Michael Antoniak

If you’ve ever dreamt of building your own log cabin, or wondered if or how it could be done, you’ll find the answers and inspiration here. Half personal narrative, half how-to, A Home From The Woods details the methods used for four different log cabin projects: Uncovering and Restoring A Standing Cabin; A Hand-hewn Cabin; Building with Rounded Logs; and Taking Down and Recreating An Original Log Cabin. That straightforward advice is countered with a first person narrative as the author relates his young family’s experiences and misadventures completing these projects. With little finances and less know-how, but plenty of determination and a little creativity, they proved again and again that if you long for that idyllic cabin of earth and wood, it can be achieved. And, even if you’ll never set first foot in the forest you’ll be entertained reading what some people will put themselves through for “the simple life” in the country.

Serious Play

How the World's Best Companies Simulate to Innovate

By: Michael Schrage

Successful innovation demands more than a good strategic plan; it requires creative improvisation. Much of the "serious play" that leads to breakthrough innovations is increasingly linked to experiments with models, prototypes, and simulations. As digital technology makes prototyping more cost-effective, serious play will soon lie at the heart of all innovation strategies, influencing how businesses define themselves and their markets. Author Michael Schrage is one of today's most widely recognized experts on the relationship between technology and work. In Serious Play, Schrage argues that the real value in building models comes less from the help they offer with troubleshooting and problem solving than from the insights they reveal about the organization itself. Technological models can actually change us--improving the way we communicate, collaborate, learn, and innovate. With real-world examples and engaging anecdotes, Schrage shows how companies such as Disney, Microsoft, Boeing, IDEO, and DaimlerChrysler use serious play with modeling technologies to facilitate the collaborative interactions that lead to innovation. A user's guide included with the book helps readers apply many of the innovation practices profiled throughout. A landmark book by one of the most perceptive voices in the field of innovation.

Simon Spatz

From Holocaust to Halifax, A Story of Survival and Success

By: Michael Cobden

A fascinating biography of the high-profile Jewish Nova Scotian businessman—a man who not only survived but thrived against all odds. In Simon Spatz, former journalism professor Michael Cobdon tells the remarkable story of a fighter, a survivor, an achiever, a man of extraordinary determination and spirit. After bringing his family out of poverty in Poland, surviving the Holocaust in an area where 97 per cent of Jews were murdered, and immigrating to Canada at nearly forty with little money and no knowledge of English, Spatz would open a successful Halifax grocery business before entering into real estate in the 1950s. Known today as the magnate behind the international, multi-billion-dollar real estate development firm Southwest Properties, Spatz remains an inspiration to Nova Scotia’s business and Jewish communities. What his family calls a “larger-than-family-pride human narrative,” Simon Spatz is the story of a man shaped, but not destroyed, by one of the cruelest events in human history; a no-holds-barred depiction of a man who did more than build a life for himself and his family: he left behind a legacy.
