WEATHER TRIVIA CALENDAR 2017
Celebrating Canada’s 150th Anniversary
Compiled by David Phillips
Weather Trivia Calendar 2017
Canadians love the weather. It’s our favorite topic
of conversation. And the Canadian Weather Trivia
Calendar is one of this country’s most popular and
best-selling compilation of facts, dates, and stories
about our climate. Did you know that rain increases
productivity? Or that cold kills more than heat? Or
that the longer a porcupine’s quills are in the fall,
the snowier the winter will be?
DAVID PHILLIPS spent more than 40 years in the
Weather business at Environment Canada, first as
a researcher, and later as media spokesperson. He
retired in 2015, but continues to add daily facts
and tidbits to his collection of over 35,000 weather
tales. A recipient of the Order of Canada, David
lives in Barrie, Ontario

THE FIREHOUSE CHEF
Patrick Mathieu
A firefighter encounters many situations that require decisive action,
but one that influenced Waterloo firehouse chef Patrick Mathieu more
than most was the simple question posed to him at mealtime: “are you
gonna cook, or clean up?”
The Firehouse Chef is an account of Mathieu’s culinary experience as a
Canadian firefighter, preparing meals for his fellow firemen that have
kept them well-nourished for over 15 years.
With original recipes, as well as contributions by chefs from firehouses
stretching from Newfoundland to BC, this is a book that gets what it’s
like to prepare meals for households on the go. A team of firemen is
just like a family, and The Firehouse Chef is sure to spark some new
ideas in your own home with sizzling recipes such as:
•
Old South Classic FireHouse Pulled Pork
•
Cauliflower Steaks with Salsa Verde
•
Yukon Elk Chili with Chocolate and Cinnamon
•
Thai Drunken Noodles
Whether you’re looking for a simple starter, a gourmet dessert, or
a hearty main, these recipes have been tried and tasted by test
audiences who are not afraid to speak their mind! Filled with colourful
anecdotes and sumptuous photography, get ready as Patrick Mathieu
and firehouse chefs from across the country set the culinary world
ablaze with the season’s hottest cookbook.
Firefighter Patrick Mathieu is a very
passionate foodie and self-taught chef who
followed in his French-Canadian family’s
traditions of firefighting and cooking from
the heart. He has cultivated his love for
cooking in the firehouse and, alongside his
wife Andrea Lauren, is the proud owner of
StationHouse Catering and Private Chef
Services. Patrick is also a culinary instructor, a
food and recipe columnist for Firefighting in
Canada Magazine, and appeared on Season
2 of the Food Network’s Chopped Canada.
He lives just outside Waterloo, Ontario with

STORM THE KETTLE
RESETTING THE NEWFOUNDLAND TABLE
Elaine Feore and Joanne Goudie
Looking out over Newfoundland’s breathtaking coastal scenery
invokes a sense of timelessness, and it’s this feeling that makes
Newfoundland and Labrador one of Canada’s most extraordinary
regions. In Storm the Kettle, authors Elaine Feore and Joanne Goudie
celebrate Newfoundland’s strong connection to the past with an eye
to the culinary world beyond its shores, maintaining a centuries-old
love of food and commonwealth, but, at the same time, infusing them
with a contemporary sampling of recipes from around the globe.
It’s often observed that Newfoundlanders take great pleasure in
sharing food with the people around them, and Storm the Kettle
encourages and updates this tradition, taking inspiration both from
present-day Newfoundland restaurant culture as well as from the
customary foods that have graced East Coast tables since Canada’s
earliest days. Appetizers and sides like Turnip “Fries” with Crispy
Prosciutto and Balsamic Dressing invite foreign tastes to time-honored
staples. And for the purist, Feore and Goudie offer a generous helping
of recipes that pay tribute to Newfoundland’s essential export—cod—
with selections such as Salt Cod Soup, Cod Tacos, and Poached Cod
with Mixed Vegetables.

We wanted to feature our province as an integral part of the book,
because we feel that our heritage and culture still shines through in
how we live and eat here now. It is evident in our laid-back lifestyle,
our spontaneity, adventurousness and generosity. It is evident in
how we open our homes and share our tables and our joy in every
celebration. It is, to a large degree, this Newfoundland “spirit” that we
want to share with readers. We want to remind readers that the value
of relationships has not changed, and that sharing of food nurtures
those relationships.
ELAINE FEORE was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She is a self taught cook who ran a catering business in Windsor,
Ontario before fulfilling her dream of opening her own restaurant, Elaine’s Fine Foods. After selling that restaurant, she
returned home to live in Newfoundland where she met Joanne Goudie. Together the two of them built The Blue Fish
Bistro, a restaurant in Grand Falls-Windsor serving cuisine inspired by menus from around the world.
JOANNE GOUDIE was born in the central Newfoundland town of Botwood but has lived in many parts of the island
including Corner Brook, Stephenville, St. John’s, Fogo Island and Grand Falls-Windsor. She has always loved baking and
catering, and after meeting Elaine Feore the two were able to turn their shared passion for food into the grand adventure.
Joanne and her husband Craig are the proud parents of two sons.

9000 YEARS OF WINE
by Rod Phillips
Wine has a history far larger than that of any mere beverage. Present at the earliest
recorded points of human history, it has been present at the height of sophistication
and the depths of debauchery, an integral part of religious ritual and a free-flowing
social lubricant.
This new edition explores the tourism and terroir-driven global industry of today
while reaching as far back as Ancient Greece and Rome. On the way it stops at
significant points of wine history including the birth of Champagne, Venice in
the 17th century, trade in the Middle Ages, and more. Celebratory and thorough,
9000 Years of Wine never lets the scale of history—wars, fraud, blight, colonization,
Prohibition—get in the way of a good story or notable bottle.
ROD PHILLIPS is professor of history at Carleton University, Ottawa, and the author
of a number of books on alcohol and wine. His books have been translated into
many languages. He writes a weekly wine column for the Ottawa Citizen, writes on
wines and spirits for NUVO Magazine, and has contributed to wine media such as
The World of Fine Wine (U.K.), Wine Spectator (U.S.), and Vines (Canada).

DANCING ON AIR
A tale of Vengeance, Mercy, and the End of the Death Penalty in Newfoundland
by Eric Colbourne
“On St. Patrck’s Day, 1942, Herb Spratt, the youngest son of a prominent St. John’s
city councellor, murdered his girlfirend, Josephine O’Brien. A weak defense at a
two-day trial in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland resuled in a guilty verdict,
coupled with a strong recommendation for mercy. The Chief Justice pronounced
a sentence of death on April 28th, 1942. Six years later, during a night of terror in
the town of Norris Arm, Alfred Beaton stabbed his girlfriend, and shot to death
another young woman. Beaton then rampaged through the town, but failed to
find any other victims. Beaton was sent to trial on January 31, 1949, wherein the
jury returned a guilty verdict without a recommendation for mercy. The judge
imposed the death penalty. Eric Colbourne investigates the background of these
two cases, cases which would ultimately result in the abolition of the death penalty
in Newfoundland.

WHISKY JAPAN
Dominic Roskrow
Japanese whisky is finally getting the international recognition it
deserves. Originally created to emulate the malts of Scotland, Japanese
whiskies now hold a distinct and unique place among other world-class
spirits. Yet, despite having a history going back nearly a century, and
winning many prestigious awards in recent years (including Whisky
Magazine’s World Whiskies Awards), Japanese whiskies have remained
enigmatic and intimidating.
UntiI now. In WHISKY JAPAN, the most comprehensive book on Japanese
whisky ever available in English, renowned expert Dominic Roskrow
reveals what makes Japanese whisky so special and sought-after by
whisky connoisseurs everywhere. He introduces the companies that
make Japanese whisky, and offers detailed portraits of these distilleries,
explaining their complex production processes, traditions, and the
new innovations that have allowed them to take on and surpass the
competition. The reader is carried along on a journey to the very
heart of Japanese whisky making, with extensive tasting notes for all
the leading expressions, profile interviews with key personalities, and
over 500 beautiful photographs and illustrations. Here are the whisky
makers, blenders, independent bottlers, retailers, collectors, bloggers,
and bartenders. There is a lively guide to the best bars in Japan and
around the world in which to taste Japanese whisky, a section on
whisky cocktails and food pairings, and useful travel tips on how to get
to the distilleries, where to stay, what to eat, and what else there is to
do in the area.

5 SEASONS KITCHEN
Pierre Gagnaire
In 2015 Pierre Gagnaire, whose 11 restaurants worldwide boast two
and three Michelin stars, was voted ‘Best Chef in the World’ by his
peers and 2016 sees him mark 50 dazzlingly creative and successful
years in the kitchen.
To celebrate this outstanding career Grub Street is delighted to
be publishing his new title La Cuisine des 5 Saisons in English. This
beautiful book is about his recipes and his work as a chef and for the
first time makes his dishes accessible for home cooks.
Why is it called Five Seasons? Because for chef Gagnaire there are five
not four seasons; Spring, he says must be divided into two seasons
because you don’t have the same produce in March as in June. Thus
the recipes in this book follow the rhythm of the seasons and their
bounty. In each chapter there are six menus with starter, main dish
and dessert. The recipes come from Pierre’s culinary’s repertory and
these are the recipes which made him famous. Through the recipes
one can see the strong worldwide influence in his cuisine, cooking
with every kind of ingredient.
His eponymous restaurant in Paris specialises in modern French cuisine,
and has garnered three Michelin stars. He has become an iconoclastic
chef at the forefront of the fusion cuisine movement by introducing
jarring juxtapositions of flavours, tastes, textures, and ingredients.
On his website he gives his mission statement as ‘facing tomorrow
but respectful of yesterday’. Gagnaire is also Head Chef of Sketch in
London. In 2005 both restaurants were ranked in the S.Pellegrino
World’s 50 Best Restaurants, with Pierre Gagnaire ranking third for
three consecutive years (2006, 2007, and 2008). In December 2009,
Gagnaire made his United States debut with Twist in Las Vegas, which
has since received great critical praise. He now also has restaurants in
Hong Kong, Seoul, Dubai, Tokyo, Berlin, and Moscow.

QUIVERING DESSERTS
Marie Holm
Have you ever tasted a real homemade custard pudding? And no,
we don’t mean the one that comes from a packet, but a beautiful,
trembling cream dessert made the old fashioned way with eggs,
sugar, milk and cream.
In Quivering Desserts & Other Puddings you will find recipes for both
classic puddings such as vanilla, almond, chocolate and wonderful
contemporary versions such as salted caramel pudding with caramel
popcorn and white chocolate pudding with jasmine tea. And much,
much more.
Sounds difficult? It is not. A real pudding just requires a little time at
the stove and some hours in the refrigerator.
And the reward — a quivering cream artwork that makes children
quiver and adults sigh.

The Least You Can Do Is Be Magnificent: Selected and New Writings,
1983-2016 is a retrospective celebration of the work of Steve
Venright, Canada’s foremost surrealist. For over thirty years, in the
tradition of Lautréamont, Breton, and Michaux, Steve Venright has
devoted himself to the liberation of the imagination. His writing is
preoccupied with the journey into and across ‘domains of existence
vivid and compelling beyond even this miraculous reality we call
the world.’ Venright’s dream visions of southwestern Ontario’s
deliriomantic landscapes are populated by his signature puns,
portmanteaus, neologisms, and spoonerisms. Bibliographic notes
included.
Steve Venright lives in Toronto.
AQUA SACRA
Keith Henderson
Everything seems broken in Suzanna Ricci’s life. Only 42, her marriage
to Len has disintegrated. Her relationship to their teenage boys, Robin
and Logan, is in need of repair. Now her mother, ‘that martial soul,’ wants
her to restore the family home in Acqua Sacra, damaged by earthquake.
And she doesn’t care how many trips from Montreal to their vivid
Italianpatriaof Abruzzo her daughter has to make.
At least when Len, a dodgy accountant, encourages her to take a job
with a Montreal law firm headed by a man named Robert Bliss, Suzanna
feels hopeful of being freer of her ex. Until she realizes the crazy cost of
disentangling herself, and not just from him or his ‘associates.’
Henderson, the author ofThe Roof Walkers, again delivers an entertaining
and perceptive story in Acqua Sacraabout the nature of personal
responsibility, this time in an age of multinational delinquency. If Suzanna
survives the wreckage, it’ll be by honouring the true meaning of ‘family’
in any global village.

ONE WORLD ANTHOLOGY TWO: A SECOND
GLOBAL ANTHOLOGY OF SHORT STORIES
Edited by Chris Brazier and Ovo Adagha
One World Two is even more ambitious than Volume One in its
continent. Most of the stories are unique to this volume, with
some appearing for the first time in English (such as Egypt’s
Mansoura Ez-Eldin and Brazil’s Vanessa Barbara). The themes
and writing styles are as richly diverse as the writers’ origins.
The collection is centered around a loose theme of building
bridges. It is interested in the human condition as a dynamic
central line linking individuals, cultures and experiences: east
and west, north and south, and, perhaps most importantly,
past, present, and future.

The landscape around Hinton, Alberta, includes some of the finest
forests to be found on the east slopes of the Canadian Rockies,
as well as abundant wildlife, scenic vistas, turbulent streams, a
mighty river and, beneath the surface, a wealth of coal, crude oil,
and natural gas. Many thousands of people have passed through
or settled the region, shaping the landscape with hard work, hopes
and dreams. Managing the use of this landscape has been a special
responsibility, shared since 1954, between the Province of Alberta
and Weldwood of Canada Ltd. This book documents the story of that
forest management agreement. It provides a true case study of the
adaptive forest management procedures which embrace multiple
goals, allowing for a true vision of what a successful forest is, and
what it must become.

HOW TO AUDITION
ON CAMERA
Sharon Bialy
To win a role in a movie or on network or cable TV, you must make
a strong first impression in your brief, crucial audition—and the
first person you have to impress is the casting director. In How to
Audition On Camera, Casting Director Sharon Bialy answers the
twenty-five questions actors ask most frequently about how to nail
an audition. What is the casting director looking for? If you mess up,
can you start over?
What is the most common mistake experienced actors make?
Should you audition off book or can you look at the page? Should
you dress in character? How much can you improvise? Actors—both
novice and professional—are often misled by myths and outdated
prescriptions. This guide replaces such misinformation with concise
and accurate advice from someone who is in the room helping to
make the decision on who gets the job. Bialy gets readers started
immediately on the road to screen acting success.
Sharon Bialy is an award-winning casting director for television, film,
and theater. Her television credits include The Walking Dead, Better
Call Saul, Halt and Catch Fire, Breaking Bad, Gotham, Phil Spector,
The Unit, Jericho, Mind of the Married Man, and Picket Fences. Her
film credits include Secret in Their Eyes (with Julia Roberts, Chiwetel
Ejiofor and Nicole Kidman), Drugstore Cowboy, Point Break, Rudy,
Mr. Holland’s Opus, Reign O’er Me, and Red Belt for David Mamet.
Bialy’s love for theater has been a recurring theme throughout her
career. She recently cast China Doll with Al Pacino, and she worked
with Des McAnuff at the La Jolla Playhouse for 15 years and various
productions at Lincoln Center, The Old Globe, South Coast Rep, and
The Guthrie. Her Broadway credits include The Anarchist, Jersey
Boys, Race, and The Farnsworth Invention. She has received 15
Artios Award nominations and an Emmy nomination (for Breaking
Bad’s final season) and is a board member of the Casting Society of
America.

SEA STRUCK
W.H. Bunting
“This marvellous book should be hailed as an instant classic.” -- David
McCullough
For young men more than a century ago, “going to sea” was as much
a rite of passage as making a grand tour of Europe. Sea Struck brings
alive the final decades of square-rigged sail through the accounts of
voyages made on three ships by three young men from Massachusetts.
There is plenty of adventure here— storms, men overboard, discipline
that bordered on brutality, and exotic ports. There is also a fascinating
immersion in the lore of the sea and sail and the global web of
connections in the New England maritime community.
W. H. “BILL” BUNTING shipped as galley boy aboard the brigantine Yankee
at age 13 and later completed a 25,000-mile world voyage as first mate of
a 132-foot barkentine.

MAINE OF GLASS
W. H. Bunting, Kevin Johnson, and
Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr.
Nineteenth-century Maine—famed for its lumbering, shipbuilding, and
seafaring—has attracted copious attention from historians, but early
twentieth-century Maine has not. Maine on Glass redresses this imbalance
with 190 postcard photos and three of Maine’s foremost historians.
Postcards were the Instagrams of the early twentieth century. The images
in this book were selected from 22,000 glass plate negatives created by
the Eastern company between 1909 and World War II.
W. H. “Bill” Bunting is the author of Boston: Portrait of a Port 1852-1914; A
Day’s Work in two volumes; An Eye for the Coast; The Camera’s Coast; Live
Yankees; and Sea Struck and has been called “the best of Maine writers and
scholars.” Kevin Johnson is the photo archivist for the Penobscot Marine
Museum. Earle G. Shett leworth , Jr. was appointed to the first board of
the Maine Historic Preservation Commission in 1971 and has served as
director of
the commission since 1976 and as Maine State Historian since 2004.

LIFE IN YOUR GARDEN
Reeser Manley and Marjorie Peronto
Gardeners can play a significant role in helping to sustain native
plant diversity and providing refuge for threatened species of
insects and sanctuary for birds, amphibians, reptiles, and small
mammals. Horticulture experts Reeser Manley and Marjorie Peronto
share their own experiences in gardening for biodiversity, placing
a strong emphasis on insect diversity as a bellwether of success.
Insects comprise 60 percent of Earth’s biodiversity, and they deserve
to be recognized as the creatures that run our gardens. It is not the
gardener’s job to eliminate insects that munch on leaves, suck the
sap from stems, bore holes in fruits, or graze on roots. This is the work
of predatory insects and arachnids such as ladybug beetles, hoverfly
larvae, praying mantises, certain wasps, and spiders. It is the gardener’s
task to cultivate populations of these predators.
The Life in Your Garden also describes the functional plants of a garden
(with recommendations for understory trees and shrubs throughout
North America) and their relationship with garden life, introducing the
concept of a “garden insectary.”

That a gardener can be an important steward for our planet is a

REESER MANLEY holds a Ph.D. in Horticultural Science and has gardened for many years in
Massachusetts and Maine, and before that in South Carolina and Washington state. Marjorie
Peronto is a University of Maine professor with 20 years’experience teaching courses in ornamental
gardening, ecological landscaping, and home food production. She trains Master Gardener
Volunteers to conduct community outreach projects that promote sustainable gardening and

Hiroshi Nakamura, along with his family, spent the war years in Salinas
Assembly Center, Salinas, California; Camp II of the Poston Relocation Center,
Parker, Arizona; and Tule Lake Segregation Center, Newell, California. It
was during this period that he put down on paper what he was observing,
experiencing, and hearing and expressed them in this novel.
POLYNYA
Mélanie Vincelette
Translated from the French by Sheila Fishman and Donald Winkler
In the Arctic Circle village of Iqaluit, known as the ‘Las Vegas of the North,’
Rosaire Nicolet is found dead in a seedy hotel room rented by a stripper. Rosaire’s
younger brother Ambroise arrives in town to identify the body. Ambroise
worshiped his brother and wants answers. While investigators suspect a crime
of passion, Ambroise has a very different theory. Polynya delves into the
mysterious and poetic polar world of Baffin Island, where a cast of characters
live on the margins and everyone is not necessarily to be believed.
MÉLANIE VINCELETTE is a already a respected figure of the Quebec literary
world. Polynya was short listed for the Governor General’s Award for
French-language fiction in 2011 and was voted the best book of 2011 by La

in 2006 and won the Anne Hébert Prize. In 2006, she won the Radio Canada
Book Award. Vincelette lives in Montreal.

THE AGE OF DIVERSITY HOW GLOBAL WEALTH
IS TRANSFORMING CULTURAL SPACE
By Jean-Louis Roy
Translated from the French by Leonard Rosmarin
In twenty-five years, 80% of the world population will live in Asia and Africa.
What changes, culturally in particular, should be expected in this century?
This is the vast and fascinating question Jean-Louis Roy’s Age of Diversity
tries to answer with the help of correspondents from Africa, Asia, the
Americas and Europe. Roy argues that shifting wealth from the West to Asia,
Latin America and Africa causes the reconfiguration of the economic map.

THE WIDOW’S LAND
John B. Lee
This is a book about superstition, life in rural Canada, and it will appeal to
those who hunger for memoir, the way things were, and the curiosities
of life that somehow can’t be believed. Almost two hundred years ago
author John B. Lee’s great-great grandfather departed from Ireland for
the new world with the prospect of establishing a homestead in what
is now southwestern Ontario. As was the tradition the sendoff began
with an American Wake, for those leaving and those left behind knew
they would never see one another again. In a chapter of that title, Lee
writes “They stood on those morbid piers watching the white ache of
mast and cloth as they vanished west, a crow’s nest lowered on the wet
blue curve of that deep-water distance in an arcing line like the falling
down of kites behind hills.” Sometimes sad, sometimes lighthearted,
but always poignant this memoir begins in the wilderness with wolves
and bears and stone horses, moves quickly through the centuries to
the apotheosis of the thriving tradition of the family farm and from
there into the period of decline and decay where the elision of time has
stolen the name from the side of the barn as letter by letter it fades and
falls to ruin. An exploration of the relationship between the rational
and the material world on the one hand, and the world of dream and
imagination on the other, Lee’s book closes with these words: I am
making the world I am made from.

ZIGZAGS
Roger Nash
Zigzags, a collection of Nash’s latest poetry, explores how virtually
none of our thoughts, actions or feelings go very far without becoming
paradoxes and contradictions. Some paradoxes are humourous, but
some are deadly. The poems debunk an intellectualism that pretends
we can strategize straight lines of progress to our goals. Rather, “Life’s
walking a straight zigzag, while standing upright in a somersault” (Irish
saying). Zigzags replaces this intellectualism with a vision of life and
ourselves expressed in the harmonizing metaphors of poetry.

Some stories insist on being told. In his first published book,
award-winning Port Media journalist Don Lajoie gives readers
agripping and unapologetically honest recounting of his experiences
as an award-winning journalist in Haiti. Lajoie has hundreds of stories
accumulated over his many years of work, and delights in leading the
reader confidently though the dichotomy of the country, its garbage-lined
streets, the devastating earthquake of 2010, the rich and diverse traditions
of Voodoo, Haiti’s groundbreaking architecture, its thriving music scene,
and its multifacited history. From the dramatic to the mundane, Lajoie
(former Windsor Star reporter) tackles aspects of Haitian life rarely seen.
His eye is prescient, combining awe and humour with a very real respect
for the Haitian people and the land they cherish. At the heart of the book
is a reflection of faith, death, and the degradation plus redemption of
humanity.
This is a book about social justice, human rights, poverty, and human
dignity. A book about our southern neighbours.
Illustrated with photographs.

Tomson Highway’s musical cabaret, The Incredible Adventures of

The ageless theme of a misfit, who finds her voice through song
and who learns to make friends by communicating directly
with her audience, is a timely treat for anyone who has felt like
an outsider, dealt with bullying, moved to a new place, or was
different from the rest of the pack.
The entire script is here, complete with song lyrics, stage
directions, Cree vocabulary, and challenging tongue twisters to
delight all ages. A perfect book for drama students, teachers, and
theatre enthusiasts, this beautiful full-colour volume serves as an
interactive read-aloud for the young, or a great way to introduce

A Love Misunderstood is the story of the author’s challenging path to
parenthood. The purpose of this book is to support the women and their

following the loss of a pregnancy. Putting pen to page and releasing
the thoughts and feelings that are often hidden away deep within
can be extremely therapeutic, especially for those working through
the stages of grief. This honest and moving book will ultimately be a
piece cowritten by both the author and the reader. It can serve as a
physical representation of the heartache experienced by a couple who
are struggling to start a family and can subsequently be shared with
parents and friends so that they may gain a better understanding and
empathy for what their loved ones are facing.

TREES IN CANADA is a guide to the many tree
species, both native and introduced, that are
found throughout Canada and the northern
United States. It evolved from the popular Native
Trees of Canada, which for 8 editions and over
75 years provided information on trees in nontechnical language and in an easy-to-use format.
The last edition, published in 1979, gave only
passing mention to non-native or introduced
trees. Trees in Canada includes descriptions of
introduced species that are commonly planted
or naturalized.
The text for the new edition has been reviewed
by forest science specialists across Canada and
in the United States.
A Reader’s Guide shows how the book is
organized and explains technical terms.
The author has ingeniously organized the
more than 300 tree species into 12 groups based
mainly on leaf shape and arrangement along
the twig. The features that define the 12 groups
require little botanical knowledge to recognize
and are easily observed.
An identification key inside the front and back
covers comprises an icon (a stylized drawing)
for each group, a statement of the group’s essential features, and a numbered thumb tab, which
allows rapid entry to the group. Dichotomous
keys for the groups and large genera and winter
keys for broadleaf trees and deciduous conifers
are also provided.
The comprehensive and well-researched
text of Trees in Canada is complemented by
nearly 600 color photographs and 1600 drawings
of features useful for identification of the tree
species. Also included are 136 range maps and
color maps of Canada’s forest regions and plant
hardiness zones.

A CELEBRATION OF GEORGIAN BAY
CANADA’S SIXTH GREAT LAKE
Edited by Nick Eyeles
Georgian Bay was formerly called Lake Algonquin and ‘la mer
douce’ meaning the ‘sweet or freshwater sea’ as Champlain called
it, before being renamed after King George IV in 1822. Champlain
canoed through its maze of more than 30,000 islands in 1615
marveling at this glacially-scoured archipelago that is like no other
in Canada.
Georgian Bay contains the largest freshwater island in the world
(Manitoulin), its rocks are as old as 2.5 billion years and the varied
topography of its coast and hinterlands have inspired generations
of artists, geologists and naturalists and those escaping from the
urban cityscapes to seek solace among the white pines that grow
out of the rock. Its waterscapes are as legendary as the summer
storms that spring out of nowhere investing its treacherous coast
with wrecks, stories and tragedies. It is home to a diverse range of
plants, fish and other animals including rare reptiles and birds, and
sensitive wetlands.

about preservation of the unique features of the Georgian Bay

THE SALARIAN DESERT GAME
J. A. McLachlan,
What if someone you love gambled on her life...
Games are serious business on Salaria, and the stakes are high. When
Kia’s older sister, in a desperate bid to erase their family debt, loses the
game and forfeits her freedom, Kia is determined to rescue her.
When Kia arrives on Salaria, she learns it’s a world where a few key
players control the board, and the pawns are ready to revolt. Kia joins
the conflict in order to save her sister. As if she doesn’t already have
enough to handle, Agatha, the maddeningly calm Select who lives life
both by-the-book and off-the-cuff -- and always at the wrong time,
according to Kia -- shows up to help, along with handsome Norio, a
strong-willed desert girl with her own agenda, and a group of Salarian
teens earning their rite of passage in the treacherous desert game.
What can an interpreter and former thief possibly do in the midst of all
this to keep the people she loves alive?

QUISTA (BOOK ONE: DANAY)
Aviva Bel’Harold
“Danay, my par’mida, you are important. One day you
will see this too.”
Danay is an outsider on the water planet of Uma’Three. She’s too tall,
too thin, she doesn’t have second lungs, and the water dries out her
skin to the point she has to wear a reversed wet’skn just to survive.
When her Nan’Dah gives her a coming of age bracelet on her fifteenth
birthday, she knows she won’t get a courtship pearl from anyone. She’s
happy enough when the one boy she likes mysteriously returns after
being gone for a whole Turn, but she isn’t surprised to discover he’s
more interested in her best friend. That is… until he sees her bracelet.
The braid has Danay’s pet name woven into it. Par’mida: ‘Precious One’
her Nan’Dah says. Phillip seems to think it means something different
and now he won’t leave Danay’s side.
Something doesn’t seem right. Phillip is nervous around officials and he
can’t answer any of her questions. And then the Emperor’s fl eet arrives
to perform loyalty tests. Caught in the middle and branded a traitor,
Danay is swept into a secretive rebellion. When her best friend is taken
by the Emperor’s men, Danay will have to learn that only she has the
power to save the ones she loves.

MELENA’S JUBILEE
Zetta Elliott
Illustrated by Aaron Boyd
After being sent to bed early the previous night, Melena wakes up
to a new day with a song in her heart. At breakfast she learns she has
been given a “fresh start,” and she decides to celebrate by doing things
differently for the rest of the day. Melena chooses not to fight with her
brother, and shares the money she has rather than demanding to be
repaid by a less fortunate friend. This story introduces children to the
concept of jubilee, which stresses the important principles of debt relief,
generosity, and forgiveness. Aaron Boyd’s mixed-media illustrations are
as bright and vivid as a sun-washed day.
Born in Canada, Zetta Elliott (Brooklyn, NY) moved to the US in 1994
to pursue her PhD in American Studies at NYU. Her poetry has been
published in several anthologies, and her plays have been staged in New
York, Chicago, and Cleveland. Her essays have appeared in The Huffington
Post, School Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly. She is the author of
more than twenty books for young readers, including the award-winning
picture book Bird. Her urban fantasy novel Ship of Souls was named a

under her own imprint, Rosetta Press, have been named Best Children’s
Books of the Year by the Bank Street Center for Children’s Literature. Elliott
is an advocate for greater diversity and equity in publishing.

THE SODA BOTTLE SCHOOL
Laura Kutner and Suzanne Slade
Illustrated by Aileen Darragh
In a Guatemalan village, students squished into their tiny
schoolhouse, two grades to a classroom. The villagers had tried
expanding the school, but the money ran out before the project was
finished. No money meant no materials, and that meant no more
room for the students. Then one person got a wonderful, crazy idea:
Why not use soda bottles, which were readily available, to form the
cores of the walls? Sometimes thinking outside the box—or inside
the bottle—leads to the perfect solution
Suzanne Slade is the award-winning author of more than one
hundred nonfiction books for children. Laura Kutner is the real-life

A TESTIMONIAL TO
LESLEY CHOYCE
End of the World as We Know It (ISBN: 9780889953796)
“.....There is tenderness, humour, and a delightful fine intelligence at work in Choyce’s writing....with
a respect for the thoughtful teen reader”--Canadian Children’s Book Centre
Book of Michael (ISBN: 9780889954175)
“The story behind Michael’s rebellious youth and wrongful incarceration is compelling and
unpredictable, and it illustrates how often people judge others without understanding the reality
of their lives...” Canadian Children’s Book Centre
Living Outside the Lines (ISBN: 9780889954359)
“This novel was a quick read - fast paced, well written, and with enough suspense to keep the
reader wondering what will happen...(It) will appeal to readers who appreciate love stories that are
out of the ordinary, enjoy sci-if, or novels about time travel” --Resource Links
Dumb Luck (ISBN: 9780889954656)
“Undoubtedly, many of us would love to win a lottery, but would more money truly enrich our lives
while allowing us to still feel authentic? Would a major lottery win really be lucky? ...Choyce asks
this fundamental question which will both entertain. And tantalize young adult readers. Highly
Recommended”--Canadian Materials
Random (ISBN: 9780889954434)
...”what many teens may enjoy even more than the plot specifics...is Joseph’s unpretentious search
for meaning that emerges from his “random thoughts,” which range from Malthus to Buddhism to
Aristotle to his namesake, Joseph Campbell, who, in describing the mythic hero’s perilous journey,
articulates what may feel like coming-of-age concerns for many teens.” --Booklist
Into the Wasteland (9780889955226)
“Dixon Carter has decided to go off his medications as he wants to see the world without any
drugs....This book is a great book for helping (young readers) understand how mental illness affects
(a) person and those near to him” --Shelf Life
66
Jeremy Stone (9780889955042) *2014 Governor General’s Literary Awards finalist*
“The unique twist in this Canadian verse novel intriguingly blurs the lines between the imagination,
the spirit world, and the here and now...The high interest comes...from a blend of familiar social
situations --bullying and self harm--with an innovative and refreshing remedy-- the introduction of
possible spirit guides from a real-world religious tradition. Classrooms and collections looking for
sensitively handled First Nations/Native American material will want to consider this.” --Bulletin of
the Center for Children’s Books

CLOSING DOWN HEAVEN
by Lesley Choyce
In this whimsical free-verse novel for young adults, sixteen-year-old
Hunter propels himself out of this world – literally – and into the next after
pushing his ultralight bike beyond risk. He arrives in what he understands
to be heaven, to be met by his celestial guide, name of Archie, who tries
to interpret for Hunter the rules of this rather confusing realm. It’s not
long before Hunter meets a girl he used to know in Grade 6, name of
Trinity, and from this point on his mission is to love her and protect her.
Protect her from herself – and also from the nasty character she became
involved with before she died of a drug overdose. As part of this mission,
Hunter is able to take advantage of a new policy in heaven that allows
some recently deceased to return and pick up their lives again. In this
way, Hunter tries to prevent the death of Trinity – but it doesn’t work.
Complications multiply until both Hunter and Trinity find a redemptive
path which gives them both back their real lives and new opportunities.
Lesley Choyce has woven a sometimes comic, sometimes moving
narrative, focusing on the kinds of mixed-up teens he seems to know
so well. In the end love conquers almost everything, but the twists and
turns are engaging and illuminating, as Hunter and Trinity find their way
to happiness.

NATHAN
by Susan Ouriou
Ten-year-old Nathan has a number of demons to confront and overcome.
One of them is the school bully who delights in tormenting Nathan
wherever he comes upon him – and that can happen in unexpected
and unpredictable ways. Another challenge is that Nathan’s Grampa
is suffering from the early onset of Alzheimer’s, and because Nathan is
devoted to his grandfather, they both have to navigate this difficult new
challenge in the family’s life. Grampa moves in with Nathan, his mother
and father, and together they try to figure out how things are going to
work from here on in. Finally, Grampa introduces Nathan to a part of his
heritage he knew nothing about until now: a First Nations link with a
great-grandmother, now long gone, whose story of hope inspires Nathan
to overcome his own worries.

RACE TO PISA
Written and Illustrated by Trevor Newland
Everyone knows about the world-famous Tower of Pisa. But do you know
why it leans? Race to Pisa! is about the smallest king in history, Nasty
King Nedward. It’s about his jealousy over Jolly Roger, the rather large
royal tailor. It’s about a nasty plan to get rid of this tailor and a balloon
race involving clueless Scallywags, blistering blunderbuss balls, flimsy
parachutes, and Belarius, the very notorious balloon master. It’s about
nasty revenge plans gone awry and the real reason why the world-famous
Tower of Pisa leans (a little to the left).
Join the Scallywags on their third adventure as they revise history and
remind us that you don’t need to be very beautiful or extremely intelligent
to make your mark in the world. You just need courage and the ability to
make a parachute out of your trousers.
Trevor Newland’s first two books in the Scallywag series, The Scallywag
Solution and Mighty Melvin the Magnificent were published by Mosaic
Press in 2014 and 2016. His writing has appeared in WestWord Journal
and The Vancouver Review. As a former songwriter based out of
Vancouver and Los Angeles, Newland has composed/produced music for

teaches literature and creative writing at
