In this adaptation from Creates's award--winning video, a series of photographs and prose poems of a river's seasonal changes are observed and recorded by means of 80 named varieties of ice, snow, and winter weather in the Newfoundland dialect. These terms are precise, practical, evocative, sonic, and lyrical.
Yesterday's general store was today's Costco, Home Depot and Superstore rolled into one - and then some. General stores sold a little of everything through the years - groceries, hardware, dry goods, caskets, corsets, spinning wheels, furniture, appliances, feeds, seeds, kerosene, gasoline, lotions and potions for man or beast, and of course candy, ice cream and pop. "General stores usually had the look of an overstuffed warehouse, and if you wanted something, they had it buried somewhere ... you only had to ask." Not only was the general store a one-stop shop, it was a place to meet and greet, gossip, solve world problems and tell tales, tall and true, a pillar of rural community life until done in by mail order catalogues, big box stores and shopping malls. Mike Parker mourns the passing of general stores more than most because his family owned and operated the Bear River Trading Company for forty years, a "sprawling emporium" that traced its beginnings to the age of sail. Until Mike?s dad retired in the late 1970s, the Bear River Trading Company was still a place of business where commercial salesmen called, wheels of cheese were displayed in a glass case, bulk kerosene was sold from the barrel and nails from a bin, purchases were wrapped in butcher?s paper and tied with twine, customers phoned in weekly grocery orders for home delivery and the "men folk" gathered to swap hunting and fishing stories. The days of the general store may be long gone but thanks to Mike are not forgotten. Illustrated with more than 500 images, A Little of Everything has something for everyone. For those who remember the sights, sounds and smells of an old-fashioned general store, this book will be a walk down memory lane. For those less fortunate who missed out on the waning days of the general store or are just looking for a good read with a touch of history, A Little of Everything opens another window to the past in Mike's long-time quest to shine light on Nova Scotia's old days, old ways.
By late January, Maritimers thought they had gotten away with it. After all, lawns had been mowed well into December, and Environment Canada said we could expect much the same for the rest of the winter. What could go wrong? Then it began, rain turned to ice in an unprecedented freeze, turning driveways and highways into skating rinks. The ice was followed by storm after storm, and just when Maritimers thought Mother Nature was going to let them come up for air, she unleashed 100 centimeters of the white stuff in two separate storms over three days, bringing the region to a standstill. The Winter of 2015 rewrote the record books. This photographic portrait documents the events in all their misery, and beauty, and is a must for every Maritimer.

This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail--although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.
Reviews of the first edition: The best roster of these phenomena--Wilson Library Bulletin; a good choice for any library--RQ. Now greatly expanded, the second edition includes over 7,000 (up from 3,500) homophones (words that sound alike) and over 1,400 (up from 600) homographs (look-alikes). Words are defined and cross referenced.
"The feeling in space flight is like hanging by your heels...with all the blood rushing to your head. ...You feel as though you are at the top of a roller coaster when your stomach feels like it is going to lift off." - Dr. Roberta Bondar. This book will be especially fascinating for all readers interested in: biography or space exploration. From the age of eight, Roberta Bondar knew she wanted to be an astronaut. In January 1992 she made Canadian history when she became the first Canadian woman, and first neurologist, to go into space on board Discovery. The story of her journey to become a leading astronaut is a fascinating tale of dedication, commitment, and sheer guts.
Women in the military? To many, never was too soon. But by 1940, British women were out "doing their bit" for the war effort, and Canadians battled for that same right. Young Canadian women wanted to serve their country, "to free a man to fight," as the recruiting posters urged. By the war’s end almost 50,000 of them were in the forces. Carolyn Gossage has compiled a fascinating collage of anecdotal and documentary material. The colourful story of Canada’s "forgotten women" - those who volunteered for service during World War II in the RCAF Women’s division, the Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) and the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service (Wrens) - entertains and enlightens.
With more than 10,000 copies sold, Passionate Vision endures as a pictorial collection that leads us on a journey from Gwaii Haanas in the west to Terra Nova in the east, Point Pelee in the south to Quttinirpaaq in the north. Dr. Roberta Bondar-one of Canada's most celebrated explorers-presents an exquisite photographic portrait of forty-one national parks, revealing the essence of Canada's rugged, intricate and fragile natural endowment. More than 100 full-colour photographs plus six stunning images from space are interwoven with lyrical quotations about the land by explorers, poets, ecologists and naturalists and short captions about the diversity of the country's natural areas. Ann Thomas, Curator of Photography at the National Gallery of Canada, situates these images in the long tradition of landscape photography with a brief essay. To this narrative, Dr. Bondar adds her own story: her vision of blending interests in science and photography and her unique perspective of Canada, a largely unexplored and delicate wilderness within a wider universe.
This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.
