The final winner in our Win a #BookaDay for the Month of May is @lambedelis.  You have won a book of your choice from the New Society Publishers' library.

On Monday June 4th, New Society Publishers will be joining environmental, conservation and human rights groups in the #BlackOutSpeakOut action against the proposed Bill C-38.  On May 7th, we wrote an in-depth blog about this issue. In a nutshell, the proposed bill undercuts our environmental protection legislation, jeopardizes Canadian's participation in the democratic process and targets charities with funding cuts and tax audits. Learn more at #BlackOutSpeakOut.ca.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers and readers but we feel this issue is too important to ignore.  From 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday you will see the following message on our site:
