Tomson Highway Illustrated by John Rombough Whether their school is under a banyan tree, in a dusty tent held up with poles, or in a sturdy brick structure in the heart of a bustling city, children everywhere need a healthy lunch to be able to learn and grow. Good food nourishes both bodies and brains. What we eat has become part of a huge global system.

Packed with colour photos and sidebars dealing with both food culture and global issues, What’s for Lunch? highlights the ways kids all over the world are taking charge of their school lunches—growing gardens, learning how to cook, and speaking out about their right to healthy food. What’s for Lunch? What’s For Lunch? travels the world, peering inside lunch trays, bags, mugs, and bowls, revealing the amazing variety found in school meals. With stops in Japan, Kenya, Afghanistan, the United States, Peru, Canada, and more, you’ll find some meals are nutritious and well-balanced, while others barely satisfy basic nutrition standards.

She also teaches creative writing to kids, and volunteers for The Stop Community Food Centre, a Toronto nonprofit. What’s for Lunch? is Andrea’s first book for children. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two sons. Photographer Yvonne Duivenvoorden grew up on a dairy farm in New Brunswick’s Chaleur Bay region. Her mother often threw extra potatoes into the pot at suppertime, so that leftovers could be sliced, pan-fried and packed into Yvonne’s lunch the following day. That, along with a bottle of farm fresh milk, was the best lunch she could wish for! Yvonne is now a photographer based in Toronto. What’s for Lunch?

Woven throughout the story is the boy’s close relationship with his Nokum (grandmother). Bouchard’s lyrical text, with its thoughtfully chosen words, evokes a quiet, introspective mood. Richly textured and infused with an almost radiant light quality, the illustrations reinforce strongly the simplicity of life on a reserve, the significance of the pow wow and, of course, the love between grandmother and grandson.

David Bouchard delivers a unique exploration of the realm of the senses in 25 animal portraits. In warm, lyrical verse, Bouchard introduces the reader to some fascinating aspects of natural history and explores each sense—sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste—through the voices of such captivating animals as the eagle, orca, wildebeest, cougar, elephant, moose, koala, and wolf. Enhancing Bouchard’s whimsical poetry are the wildlife paintings of noted British Columbia artist Ron Parker. In fact, it is the artist whom the various animals try to impress with their respective senses, whether it is the grizzly’s lofty claims for best smell, the penguin’s gentle declaration of superior vision, or the gorilla’s confident assertion of closeness to humans in all senses.

Right: In Palestine, girls are learning that they have the right to play. Chapter 1 Let's Play H ave you ever felt down, bored or lonely, but then a friend came along and said, “Hey, you want to play?” Maybe you had a game of catch, kicked a ball around, or played hide and seek. Whatever it was, it probably didn’t take long before you forgot your worries and felt full of energy, enthusiasm and joy. That’s no surprise because play has a magical way of making us feel happy and good about ourselves. Some people—you know, the ones they call experts—say play is the most important work a kid can do. That’s right! Not only is play fun and good exercise, it’s also a way for kids to learn about sharing, negotiating and compromising, improvising and inventing, acting with grace and sportsmanship, and making goals and mastering challenges. Not only that, play can improve a child’s selfesteem and help heal painful memories too. Oh yeah. One other great thing about play: It gives children the opportunity to become key players in a worldwide peace movement. Play puts everyone on an even playing field where the focus is on the game, on playing it well, and on making it fun for everyone. Religion, race, nationality, gender, and physical ability do not matter. Play removes barriers and builds on our common need to express joy in movement.

Samples of Right To Play games are also included. an international agreement, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 31, that states every child has the right to engage in play and recreational activities and that their governments must respect, promote and protect this right. Many world leaders understand that protecting children’s right to play is a great way to raise healthy, caring and responsible citizens. Unfortunately, even with this special UN agreement in place, there are many children around the world who never get the chance to play. Sometimes it’s because their countries have been at war, or face extreme poverty or disease. Some children who are forced to become soldiers lose the ability to be childlike and joyful and can’t forget the horrors they have seen or forgive themselves for participating in war. Others never learn to play because they have to work long hours in hot factories or out in the fields. Some have to take on the role of parenting their younger brothers and sisters. In some regions, certain children aren’t allowed to play simply because A chance to play opens up new possibilities for these children in Umphium Refugee Camp, Thailand.

There appeared to be a car underwater. Workers assumed the car was stolen and dumped the night before; or maybe it was a graduation prank. There was no reason to suspect foul play until a diver made a grisly discovery within the vehicle. A few hours later, a black Nissan was pulled from the waters. It contained the bodies of three sisters—Zainab, Sahar, and Geeti Shafia—along with that of their presumed aunt, Rona Amir Mohammad. Later that day, family members reported the women missing. Kingston police became suspicious. The stories told by parents Tooba Mohammad Yahya and Mohammad Shafia, and their eldest son, Hamed, didn’t match up with the rapidly gathering evidence. An extensive investigation unfolded, revealing a troubling story of physical and emotional abuse in the Shafia home—including threats of murder. There were records of previous intervention by authorities on behalf of the women. Some members of the community close to the Shafias voiced their fears, while others remained tight-lipped.

One of my most persistent memories of this rarely seen part of Canada has been northern Labrador’s vastness, isolation and wildness. Far from busy roads or crowded villages the Kiglapaits, Kaumajets and Torngat mountains rise from a deep cold sea, isolated, ice-covered and bare. Misty fjords, towering cliffs and dark lost valleys hold secrets long hidden and remain so. Here long ago Vikings passed and Inuit hunted. Today it lies waiting to be discovered. This is not a land as Sebastian Cabot once said “God gave to Cain” but a land that will seduce you by its sheer grandeur and beauty.

The greater the emotional impact or involvement the greater is the need to preserve them. Precious memories fade quickly and become fleeting. My experience with Labrador has been long and intense. Compiling the images of sixteen trips refreshes old memories and allows stories to re-surface that are just wanting to be told. A book gels this mosaic of emotions, discoveries and feelings. There is also a joy and satisfaction in sharing my images and the experience of my voyages with others who can travel vicariously or plan trips of their own. A book would open a dialogue with kindred spirits, artists and travellers alike and the beauty of Labrador would not be lost but twice shared.

It is really a zero-sum formula where the amount of carbon-based pollution is not being reduced – only moved by brokers among countries. Credits are then given which are used to bankroll huge industrial operations, many of which are ravaging both the world’s poor and their environments, many of which are aboriginal. Amy Miller is a media maker and social justice organizer based in Montréal. She directed the featurette documentary Myths for Profit: Canada’s Role In Industries of War and Peace which was screened across Canada and at festivals including the Milano Film Festival, RIDM. It won the People’s Choice award at the Bay Street Film Festival. Her first short Outside of Europe won second place for the CBC--RCI’s Migr@tion Award.

Vast amounts of freight and multitudes of people, moved seamlessly back and forth on the North American continent and across the oceans to the far corners of the earth in the capable hands of a single, well-oiled administration.

Initially the country’s own mounted police force took up the challenge of protecting the men and women who accomplished the national dream of forging a link from sea to sea and beyond; but, inevitably, the responsibility for the security of people and goods would fall to the Canadian Pacific itself and the private police force which grew up with the company. From its somewhat disreputable origins of ad-hoc groups of semi-autonomous armed watchmen and strike-breaking thugs organized at the local level to the fully-professional force created in 1913 by the CPR president, the stage was set for more than a century of Canadian Pacific Police Services to come. The quiet efficiency with which its officers have conducted themselves in their ongoing battles with fraud, theft, smuggling, bombings, murder and mayhem, and the degree to which they have managed to avoid controversy and public scrutiny, speak well for the men and women on the “Railway Beat.” Fitzhenry & Whiteside Spring 2013 Revised Edition Revised Edition Canadian Rail Travel Guide Okanagan Trips and Trails Daryl T.

The lie was that she hated being an “Indian” and everything that it represented. Ultimately, when she faced down the lie for what it was and embraced who she was. Pub Date: July 2013 Price: $19.95 EAN: 978-1-89725-282-6 Trim: 5.5 x 8.5 Format: Trade paper Pages: 124 From the age of eight, Jennifer understood she was born to perform. She wanted to sing, dance, and make people laugh. She threw herself into school plays, music, dancing, and the school choir. She began auditioning for work as an extra in TV and films, and then one day she met Bruce McDonald who was directing a film called Dance Me Outside. He offered Jennifer the lead role of Sadie Maracle, an experience that proved to be life defining for her. Dance Me Outside set her on a journey that formed the actor, producer, and storyteller Jennifer Podemski is today. Along the way she realized that in order to achieve her dreams she would have to change the industry, and so she decided to do just that. “I began to feel strongly that a part of my purpose in life was to inject Aboriginal perspectives into the otherwise plain and colourless Canadian television industry but, in addition, to make a difference at the grass roots level in the community.” Jennifer began producing in 1999 when she co-founded the production company Big Soul Productions with Laura Milliken. Together they created and produced many awardwinning television and film projects, The Seventh Generation. Today, Jennifer owns and operates Redcloud Studios Inc., an independent production company dedicated to strengthening aboriginal visibility in the film and television industry, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. In her honest, cut-to-the-chase memoir, Behind the Buckskin and Feathers, Jennifer tells it like it was, how she went from being a self-hating Indian with low self-esteem, to a respected, active member of the Aboriginal community. It’s an inspiring journey for Natives and non-Natives, performers and aspiring performers, and anyone who has a dream to be the best that they can be. 50 Spring 2013 Fitzhenry & Whiteside Groundwater in Canada Compiled by Alfonso Rivera Chief Hydrogeologist, Geological Survey of Canada Most fresh water – other than glaciers – is found underground. All of the water in the lakes and rivers of the world accounts for a fraction of the world’s available freshwater resources. Less than 1% comes from surface water while 99 percent comes from the groundwater found in aquifers. Nevertheless, a fundamental question remains in our water-rich country: how much fresh water do we actually have? Groundwater is a strategic resource, currently supplying clean, abundant and relatively cheap freshwater to more than 10 million Canadians. This book represents the first comprehensive, synthesized single volume assessment of groundwater resources in Canada. Walkerton, water crisis, climate change, land use, drought, water energy, water bulk transfers, urbanization, transboundary aquifers – all of these are keywords and issues affecting Canadians today.

Rideau Canal: A Historical Guide was written and illustrated to provide visitors with a historical overview of the waterway’s origins, the story of its supervising engineer and creator Lt.-Col. John By, as well as insights into its operations and construction.

Robert Sawyer reigns over speculative and science fiction, Peter Robinson is the master of murder and mystery fiction, Charles de Lint heads up the fantasy genre, and Edo van Belkom has published Northern Horror, an anthology of Canadian horror writers. In Northern Heat, Canadian authors stake a claim to the erotic romance genre and step out from behind their nom de plume to receive the recognition they deserve. Pages: 240 Erotic romance stories have romance as the main focus of the plot line, but the action is enriched with strong, often explicit, sexual content. Erotic romance should not be confused with pornography or erotica. Erotica portrays human anatomy and sexuality with high-art aspirations, while pornography aims to arouse sexuality. Perhaps the best known work of erotic romance is 50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James. Unlike this work of formula characters and action, the stories in Northern Heat are genuine works of art, not just light entertainment. Is this what Pierre Berton had in mind when he defined a Canadian as someone who can make love in a canoe? Read on.

The book was reviewed enthusiastically in the New York Times Book Review in its New and Notable column, and Quarry was credited with fostering this form of “quick fiction.” Since then the postcard story has become a Canadian literary fixture, featured in several annual writing contests, including a contest sponsored by Geist Magazine and the Writers’ Union of Canada (WUC). Postcard Fiction …. features the WUC contest winners and runners-up for the past 15 years, with a wrinkle. The stories are being designed as real postcards with the text printed on the back and a work of art from the Canada Council Art Bank on the front. 57 Spring 2013 Kodansha Sword Techniques of Musashi and the Other Samurai Masters Fumon Tanaka In this landmark book, author Fumon Tanaka uses the life and accomplishments of sword master Miyamoto Musashi to explore the history of swords and sword fighting and show the key role they played in the development of the traditional Japanese martial arts systems. Pub Date: June 2013 Price: $39.95 EAN: 978-1-56836-475-9 Trim: 7.5 x 10.25 Format: Hard cover Pages: 224 1337 black & white photographs The book opens with an introduction to Musashi as a real-life figure, not just the legend. Musashi was born in 1584, a time of transition in Japan that saw centuries of violence give way to an era of peace. In his early years, Musashi studied kenjutsu (the technique of the sword) and trailed as a warrior. By the age of thirty, he had proved himself a gifted swordsman. Warriors, however, were no longer needed for battle. Musashi turned to the inner secrets and theories of kenjutsu in order to find a deeper meaning to life. He became a painter and wrote Zen poetry. In 1643, when he was sixty years old, Musashi wrote his classic work, The Book of Five Rings. Musashi was a master of the two-sword (masterless warrior) way of life and opened a kenjutsu dojo, where he taught two-sword fighting. The long history of Japan is also the history of the martial arts, which evolved from swordsmanship. And since the mental, spiritual and physical aspects are inseparable, an exploration of traditional martial arts is also a look at the very essence of Japanese culture. Fumon Tanaka is the leading authority on the traditional martial arts in Japan and has written many books on the subject, including Samurai Fighting Arts. 58 Kodansha Spring 2013 The Kodansha Kanji Dictionary The Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Dictionary Revised and Expanded Jack Halpern Edited by Jack Halpern The most sophisticated Kanji dictionary ever developed • 5000+ character entries • A revision of NTC’s New Japanese-English Character Dictionary published in 1994 • Includes advanced features such as kanji synonyms, usage notes, etymologies, Chinese variant forms and readings, and rare or archaic words and meanings • More than 42,000 words or word elements • 6 lookup methods and 3 indexes • Appendices give students instant access to a massive amount of useful information A revised, expanded edition of the bestselling Japanese-English character dictionary • 3002 character entries – 702 more than in the previous edition • Features all the new Joyo Kanji (general use characters prescribed by the Japanese government) and all of the current Jinmei Kanji (characters allowed to be used in names) • Gives core meanings, enabling learners to instantly grasp the meaning of each character • Displays readings of kanji in hiragana (native syllabary) rather than in Romanized Japanese – an improvement that reflects modern teaching practices Pub Date: August 2013 Pub Date: May 2013 Price: $91.00 Price: $51.95 EAN: 978-1-56836-408-7 EAN: 978-1-56836-407-0 Trim: 5 x 8.25 Trim: 5 x 7.3 Format: Hard cover Format: Paperback Pages: 2,000 Pages: 1,296 2-colour, 5 appendices and 3 indices 59 Spring 2013 Kodansha The Encyclopedia of Japanese Martial Arts David A Hall Pub Date: Febuary 2013 Price: $68.95 EAN: 978-1-56836-410-0 Trim: 6 x 9 Format: Hard cover Pages: 720 229 photos, 166 illustrations, 144 charts and lists The Encyclopedia of Japanese Martial Arts is an exhaustive, impeccably researched reference offering information about everything there is to know on the subject, from “adauchi” (a vendetta) to “zanshin” (state of focused vigilance before, during, and after executing a technique or combative form).
