An Oct. 5, 2013 Globe and Mail article is entitled: “Can Canada’s schools pass the next great intelligence test?”

A Nov. 22, 2013 article in The Atlantic is entitled: “Japan’s Cutthroat School System: A Cautionary Tale for the U.S.” The subhead reads: “A new book shows how fixating on testing and achievement can backfire.”

A Nov. 23, 2013 CBC article is entitled: “Food waste, overeating threaten global security.” The subhead reads: “There’s growing concern that western eating habits are affecting more than health.”
