  • How to Get to Bangkok A South East Asian Travelogue

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    How to Get to Bangkok details the more than six months I spent in South East Asia. I traveled with several people, met dozens of locals in different countries and under different circumstances, and observed both fantastical behaviour and solemn rituals, indiscriminate malice and profound kindness.I kept a record of that journey and now that it has receded into the near past and I can be honest ...

  • The Long Bloom of the Environment: Problems and Solutions

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    We usually imagine environmental concerns in terms of a human-caused litany of losses. We have heard about the loss of biodiversity, deforestation, degradation of land, climate change, toxins in the air, and the disappearance of clean water and soil. Amongst that welter of information, if we were admit the selfish truth, we typically think about how such disasters might affect us. We consider food ... Read more

  • Crushing All Hope: Trying to Be a Foster Parent for Manitoba Child and Family Services

  • The Greenhouse Girl

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    When Amy set out to write a novel, and thus establish herself as a writer to be reckoned with, she was faced with a problem. Although most novelists begin semi-autobiographically, her own life in the small town of Crooked River—with its endless cycles of mowing lawns and setting tables—was far too boring. No one could possibly be interested in what she had to say if she were the subject.That drove ... Read more

  • Living on Nothing and Enjoying Less: An Eco-Handbook for Cheap, Sustainable Happiness

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    The desire to live more frugally, responsibly, and environmentally is loose in the land now. Despite the popularity of a minimalism which had its adherents buying more to pretend they had less, many people have a genuine interest in living more carefully. Learning to reduce our impact runs deeper than saving money or using those savings to buy more consumer goods. Instead, people are starting to ... Read more

  • Building a Wooden Sailboat: The Design, Build, and Launch of the Whimsey

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    The tale of building my outrigged wooden sailboat is one of limitations imposed by materials, space, money and time, making decisions on the spot, solving problems created by mistakes, and the daily slog which was the building process. I follow this process from the initial idea, research through boat-building manuals, sketching out the design, purchase of the lumber, and completing the build of a ... Read more

  • Under the Frenzy of the Fourteenth Moon

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Parables are exercises in abbreviation. Like allegories and allusions, parables rely on more than the words on the page as they expand their relevance and reach. They call upon the tropes of oft-told stories, universal narratives, trim story back to its basics, and use familiar characters like those described by Vladimir Propp.A giant becomes an ogre, a young woman a desperate heroine, a child an ...

  • How and Why to Design an Off-Grid Electrical System

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    This guide is meant to be a logical, step-by-step manual that describes how to calculate your electrical needs, how to pick a system that works best for you, and how to implement that in an off-grid setting. Although I discuss grid-tied systems, the benefits and pitfalls of wind, micro hydro, and solar—and briefly touch upon the Peltier/Seebeck and piezoelectric effects and heat engines—as well as ...

  • Science, Belief, and the Cultural Burden of Superstition

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    In this idiosyncratic study I imagine the scientific enterprise to be an edifice of reasoning and experimentation that we share with every animal all the way back to the protozoa. Only recently, in geological terms, did we choose to indulge in fantasies and stories, and although they served to entertain us through the dark nights, and could be used as memetic tools, they sometimes confounded us ...
