SUMMARY:Author Talk with Rob Csernyik: "A Losing Hand"
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Sydney Library for a talk with author and award winning freelance journalist Rob Csernyik about his new book: “A Losing Hand.” \nA Losing Hand exposes a hidden crisis at the heart of Canada’s booming gambling industry: suicide. \n\nAs governments expand casinos\, sports betting\, and online gaming\, they meticulously track the revenue they receive\, but turn a blind eye to its most devastating human cost. Through gripping personal stories and a comprehensive investigation\, journalist Rob Csernyik shows how public officials evade accountability for lives shattered by gambling addiction—for instance\, rarely recording gambling as a risk factor in suicide. They refuse to confront the disturbing question of how many Canadians are dying from activities actively promoted by their governments.

SUMMARY:Author Event With Edward Arenson\, M.D. (Feathers in the Wind)
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Edward Arenson  for an escape from the “sound and fury” of daily life into the natural world with excerpts from his new book: “Feather’s in the Wind.” Light refreshments provided. No registration is required. \nWhen Dr. Edward Arenson took up birding during pediatric training\, he had no idea where it would lead. When he began writing down his experiences\, he hoped the process would offer a greater understanding of his passion for birding\, and\, in due course\, himself. His “wild goose chases” to seek new birds were an adventurous respite from the challenging routines of a neuro-oncologist. \nThe testimony of his many and diverse experiences as a birder “of limited skill but high motivation” serves as an autobiography of sorts\, representing a counterpoint to a life as a physician\, husband\, and parent.
