George Edward Buck was a revival preacher who came to Alberta to found Zion in the Rockies. How did he end up the face of fraud in an international inquiry?

The Boom is an oil history that returns the wildcatters and charlatans to the record and traces the oil culture of Alberta to this day.

Join Dr. Paul Chastko as he recounts the frenzy of Alberta’s 1914 Turner Valley oil rush. Hundreds of companies, thousands of brokers, and George Edward Buck’s fraudulent “salted” well sparked a manhunt and new regulations around Alberta’s oil.

The Mohawk Institute was Canada's first residential school. It operated from 1828 to 1970 in Brantford, Ontario. This book looks behind the bricks to uncover and recover the lives of the students and teachers irrevocably shaped by the model for the residential school system.

Read @lethejerome.bsky.social's review of @robmclennan.bsky.social's the book of sentences (pub. @ucalgarypress.bsky.social) in Issue 33!

The writing here is so incredibly intentional, each sentence uttered as a sentence – even the one-word sentence feels full

Everyone's heard of the multiverse. But where does the idea come from? And could it be real?

Jeremy Butterfield introduces the multiverse in philosophy and physics for newcomers, providing a clear explanation of leading theories that does not require prerequisites to understand.

Kyle Flemmer subjects Wikipedia to chance operations and poetic constraints, random number generators, arbitrary limits, and hyperlink jumps and creates a core sample of an ever shifting network, a poetic bricolage of the paratactic leap. A bold step forward in digital poetics. Coming June 2026.
