A Life of Days is a window into the life of Athena. Each chapter details a single day in her life and reveals that even with all her dreams, hopes, and ambitions, Athena is just like us: a normal, everyday person. But this doesn’t make Athena any less important. Over the course of our lives, like Athena’s, we experience the normal struggles and joys—not necessarily big moments—that shape the story of us. Most of us consider the major events as defining, but A Life of Days is about the thoughts and doubts and hopes within Athena, which reflect who she is and who we all are. About the Author Sara Dixon was born in Michigan and has lived in seven states and five countries. She is now retired and loves traveling, art, music, sports, and volunteering.

Be Wise! Be Healthy!

Morality and Citizenship in Canadian Public Health Campaigns

By: Catherine Carstairs,Bethany Philpott,Sara Wilmshurst

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Exercise more. For over a century, governments and voluntary groups have run educational campaigns encouraging Canadians to adopt healthy habits in order to prolong lives, cost the state less, and produce more efficient workers. Be Wise! Be Healthy! explores the history of public health in Canada from the 1920s to the 1970s. Through the Health League of Canada, people were urged to drink pasteurized milk, immunize their children, and avoid extramarital sex. Health was presented as a responsibility of citizenship – and doctors and dentists as expert guides. Public health campaigns have reduced preventable deaths. But such campaigns can also stigmatize marginalized populations by implying that poor health is due to inadequate self-care, despite clear links between health and external factors such as poverty and trauma. This clear-eyed study demonstrates that while we may well celebrate the successes of public health campaigns, they are not without controversy.
