Blue sky through the window of a moving car : comics for beautiful, awful and ordinary days / by Bolton, Jordan,author,artist.;
Most of life is made up of mundane moments on ordinary days. But every moment, every good day, bad day, and average day, had to happen exactly the way that it did for you to exist. Everything that made you, connects us all in small, invisible, and beautiful ways. This first comic collection from artist Jordan Bolton explores the fleeting details that unite us. Jordan brings together the visual language of comics with the heartfelt language of poetry, to express moments of love and heartbreak, embarrassment and shame, hope and disappointment, grief and happiness. Split into sections that reflect where we spend the majority of our time--In Public, In Transit, and At Home--Bolton shines spotlights on the lives and stories unfolding around us every day that we might otherwise ignore. With the addition of new and unseen comics, Blue Sky Through The Window of A Moving Car is a gentle reminder that everything is ordinary, everything is extraordinary, and everything is connected.

Exploring Toronto : a guide to 28 unique public spaces / by Greenberg, Ken,author.(CARDINAL)879284; Greenberg, Eti,author.(CARDINAL)880389; O'Rourke, Amanda,writer of foreword.;
"A full-colour guide to dozens of unique outdoor spaces that highlight Toronto as a sustainable, liveable city. Toronto is rich in public spaces — deeply incised ravines, lively neighbourhoods, lush gardens and parks, iconic bridges, even repurposed industrial silos and undercrofts of elevated highways. Urban aficionados Ken and Eti Greenberg have combed the city on foot and by tandem bike discovering some of Toronto’s best outdoor public spaces. In Exploring Toronto, they have gathered twenty-eight of their favourite spots, each offering something unique — a flash of ingenious design, a surprise vantage point, or simply relief from the hum of traffic. Ken and Eti bring their distinctive perspective, informed by years of work in urban design, to each of their choices, providing readers (and explorers) with the full story of the history, design, and appeal of each one-of-a-kind place."--
