Dirty Money: Financial Crime in Canada reveals how globalization and technology have spun an extensive web of clandestine processes that disguises how financial criminals operate, the channels they use, and how they suborn banks and institutions. Co-edited by Jamie Ferrill, the book brings together contributors from the public and private sectors to identify and explore weaknesses that have turned the Canadian federation into a destination of choice for global financial crime, where its perpetrators can operate with impunity.

When James Knowlton, Associate Professor of English at a small Maritimes university, is denied a well-deserved promotion by his surly dean, he spins a plot for revenge that makes today’s election hackers and dirty-tricks operators look like rank amateurs. Retired professor T. K. Pratt, who chaired both an English department and a search committee for president, knows the outrageous world of university politics from the inside. After reading In the Hollow Lotos Land, you will never look at your alma mater in the same way again. (Tellwell)

Casa Loma was not only an outsized home for the self-appointed “Lord Toronto” but a statement of Canada’s association with empire, an assertion of the country’s British legacy. Across 10 chapters co-edited with Michael Windover, Casa Loma: Millionaires, Medievalism and Modernity in Toronto’s Gilded Age charts the history of Casa Loma and brings to light a wealth of archival images, weaving together a textured account of the design, use and life of this unique building over the course of the 20th century. The first scholarly book dedicated to this Canadian landmark, Casa Loma situates the famous “house on the hill” within Toronto’s architectural, urban, and cultural history.
