AUNT WINNIE
CAMERON, ELSPETH
GG-nominated biographer Elspeth Cameron takes on a member of her own family in this fascinating
study of an Edwardian woman. Winnie Cameron, Elspeth's aunt, was born in Seattle, raised briefly in
Dawson City, and then moved to Toronto to live in Rosedale with her family in the 1910s. Over the course
of her life, she saw the city change from one dominated by the English and Scotish immigrants, horsedrawn
buggies, to a multicultural city where the car reigned supreme. But Winnie wasn't able to keep up
with the times: she remained a perpetual debutante, and eventually became a bankrupt, unable to cope
with the demands of her changing times.

AVERAGE IS OVER
COWEN, TYLER
The widening gap between rich and poor means dealing with one big, uncomfortable truth: If you’re not at
the top, you’re at the bottom. The global labor market is changing radically thanks to growth at the high
end—and the low. About three quarters of the jobs created in the United States since the great recession
pay only a bit more than minimum wage. Still, the United States has more millionaires and billionaires
than any country ever, and we continue to mint them. In this eye-opening book, renowned economist and
bestselling author Tyler Cowen explains that phenomenon: High earners are taking ever more advantage
of machine intelligence in data analysis and achieving ever-better results. Meanwhile, low earners who
haven’t committed to learning, to making the most of new technologies, have poor prospects. Nearly
every business sector relies less and less on manual labor, and this fact is forever changing the world of
work and wages. A steady, secure life somewhere in the middle—average—is over.
