This remote, 50-km-long, emergent sandbar, located at the very edge of the continental shelf off Nova Scotia, has been the locale of hundreds of tragic shipwrecks, brave rescues of stranded mariners, and home to many thousands of seals and hundreds of wild horses. It was because of its famous natural and historical features that Sable Island was made a new national park of Canada in 2013. From this freshly conferred status, there emerged a need to develop a management plan for the island, to ensure that its key natural features would be conserved. Profusely illustrated with photographs, line drawings, and tables, the book also provides prudent recommendations for the ongoing research and stewardship of Sable Island. PROFESSOR WILLIAM FREEDMAN was the former head of Dalhousie University’s Biology Department, chaired the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Board of Directors, in addition to being an active member of the Tree Canada Foundation.Awarded the Canadian Geographic Society’s Gold Medal Environment Award, he was the author of several books, including Environmental Science , and Ecology: a Canadian Context, in addition to being the editor of Encyclopedia of Endangered. 16 Pub Date: January, 2016 Price: $65.00 ISBN: 978-1-55455-372-3 Format: Paperback Trim: 229 x 254 mm Spring 2016 Fitzhenry & Whiteside THIS BEING By Ingrid Ruthig In this, her debut collection, Ingrid Ruthig records the flux of the individual through the past, present and future of our collective world. Ruthig’s concerns are with our very skin, and our separation from one another – separations that are at once familial, intimate, interconnected. She explores our need to create, and in doing so to build a deeper sense of self: questioning, observing, then striving to respond. Her voice throughout is confident, concentrated, wry.This is a book of poems about the nature of the frail, flawed human being, who is nonetheless perfect. It’s as if we pull up to the end of the world, throw the car doors wide and tumble out to consume the view – our breath arrested by a full-stop sky, the drop to treetops, the humpback La Cloche breaching horizon to the north, and water far as you can see… from “Ten Mile Point” *Cover Not Final* Price: $15.00 ISBN: 978-1-55455-402-7 Trim: 14.5 x 21.4 cm Format: Paperback Pages: 96 INGRID RUTHIG earned a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Toronto in the 1980s and practised the profession for more than a decade.

Indian and mixed-descent peoples played leading roles in the story–as did the land and climate. Despite the growing British and Canadian presence, the Saskatchewan country remained Aboriginal territory. The region’s peoples had their own interests and needs and the fur trade was often peripheral to their lives. Indians and Métis peoples wrangled over territory and resources, especially bison, and were not prepared to let outsiders control their lives, let alone decide their future. Native-newcomer interactions were consequently fraught with misunderstandings, sometimes painful difficulties, if not outright disputes. By the early nineteenth century, a distinctive western society had emerged in the North-West–one that was challenged and undermined by the takeover of the region by young dominion of Canada. Settlement and development was to be rooted in the best features of Anglo-Canadian civilization, including the white race. By the time Saskatchewan entered confederation as a province in 1905, the world that Kelsey had encountered during his historic walk on the northern prairies had become a world we have lost.

He has won major prizes, including in 2006, the Armenian-American IGEFA Prize for the best young writer, in 2012, the Best Online Playwright Prize, and in 2009, the Vahan Tekeyan Prize for his short story collection, Sun of Glass.

Spring 2016 Grub Street Publishing CUISINE NIÇOISE By Jacques Médecin Niçoise cuisine is the food of the Mediterranean. It is not only a delight to the palate, but is known to have many health benefits. Its recipes are in tune with the natural cycle of the year using in-season fruits, herbs and vegetables, as well as plenty of fish.

As well as explaining how to make genuine salade niçoise (that most betrayed of Niçois dishes) Jacques Médecin lures the reader into the wonderful enticing world of tians, panisses, socca, and ganses. While not everyone will be able to dine alfresco under an olive tree, the way they do in Nice, this classic cookbook will at least allow you to recreate the city’s best-loved dishes.

McLay. The Chronicles of Rahtrum: The Dream is the first book in a tension-building trilogy by R.K. McLay. A work of literary fiction, this young adult, fantasy, adventure story is unlike any before it. The Dream transports readers into the far north of the Yukon Territory (where the epic journey begins) and envelopes them in the vastness of nature. Once there, readers inhabit a harsh and natural world that is faithfully rendered, but also delicately infused with magic. A world that is populated by reimagined mythological creatures that feel every bit as real as the animal protagonists they travel and struggle beside. The Chronicles of Rahtrum tell the story of a peculiar young Caribou that is chosen by Rahtrum, the Binder, to set forth on a heroic journey to awaken the Cargoth (human beings) to their true place in nature and the World. The beautiful and dangerous north unfurls as Bou follows an age-old migration route in search of the Breschuvine. Only after finding the Breschuvine does he learn the shocking reason he has been chosen by Rahtrum; and that for himself, his friends, and his enemies, the greatest of all journeys has only just begun.

Joe and Cody, two young Cree brothers, along with their parents and their little dog Ootsie, are spending the summer by one of the hundreds of lakes in northern Manitoba. Summer means a chance to explore the world and make friends with an array of creatures, But what Joe and Cody like doing best of all is flying dragonfly kites. They catch dragonflies and gently tie a length of thread around the middle of each dragonfly before letting it go. Off soar the dragonflies into the summer sky and off race the brothers and Ootsie too, chasing after their dragonfly kites through trees and meadows and down to the beach before watching them disappear into the night sky. But in their dreams, Joe and Cody soar through the skies with their kites until it’s time to wake up.

This is the true story of the dog that became known as Missouri’s Wonder Dog.

Doc soon took his talented horse on the road, spreading a message of patience and kindness, over cruelty, to all animals. DONNA JANELL BOWMAN first heard about Doc and Jim Key in 2005.
