finding jimSusan Oakey-Baker

Finding Jim describes Susan Oakey-Baker’s struggle to confront the realities of life after the death of her husband, renowned mountain guide Jim Haberl, the first Canadian to summit the most difficult mountain in the world: K2. For fifteen years they had adventured together around the world: skiing the Hima-layas, rafting in Nepal and mountaineering in North America. In time, they got married, solidified a home for themselves in Whistler, British Columbia, and planned on starting a family. But the future Susan had imagined was not meant to be, and when Jim was killed in an avalanche in the University Range of Wrangell–St. Elias National Park in Alaska, she was faced with a loss greater than anything she ever could have expected.

After Jim’s death, Susan spent time retracing the adventures they took to-gether, in a desperate and obsessive attempt to gather and hold on to as many memories of him as she could. She travelled to the place in Alaska where he lost his life; searched the Queen Charlotte Islands where they had first met; trekked to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro where they had journeyed the year before his death; and scoured the hills around their Whistler home for traces of the man she had expected to spend the rest of her life with.

In the spirit of books like Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking and Maria Coffey’s Fragile Edge, Susan Oakey-Baker writes eloquently of her efforts to relive and reanalyze her husband’s death, to defy the pain that such a loss causes, and embrace the healing power of mountains, adventure, and wilderness as she reimagines her new life.

Susan Oakey-Baker has twenty years of outdoor experience, having spent time ski touring, mountaineering, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting and biking all over the world. She has worked as a nationally certified backpacking guide in Africa, Nepal, and North America and has guided more than 100 people, ranging in age from sixteen to eighty-five, to the top of Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, for the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia. Her photographs and writing have been published in Pique magazine, the Alpine Club of Canada Gazette and the Canadian Alpine Journal. She lives in Whistler, British Columbia, with her husband, Joe, and their six-year-old son, Sam.

LiTTLE SHiP Of fOOLSSixteen Rowers, One improbable Boat, Seven Tumultuous Weeks on the Atlantic

Charles Wilkins

The dramatic and hilarious story of sores and survival on a human-powered journey across the ocean.

It was to be an expedition like no other—a run across the Atlantic from Morocco to Barbados aboard an experimental rowboat. There would be no support vessel, no stored water, no sails, no motor. The boat’s crew of sixteen included several veterans of US college rowing, a number of triathletes, a woman who had rowed both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and a scrawny, bespectacled sexagenarian—our chronicler, Charles Wilkins.

When he joined the expedition, Wilkins had never swung an oar in earnest. In a tale both harrowing and hilarious, Wilkins takes the reader along for seven weeks of rationed food, festering sores, breathtaking sunrises, sleep deprivation, and mile-high waves alongside a devoted crew of misadventurers.

Charles Wilkins wrestled Don Starkell’s mountainous diary into the classic work of adventure travel Paddle to the Amazon, praised by the New York Times Book Review as “a model expeditionary journal.” The winner of three National Magazine Awards, two American Magazine Association awards, and the Gregory Clark Outdoor Writing Award, he has also been a finalist for the Writers’ Trust Non-Fiction Prize, the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, the Trillium Book Prize, and the Toronto Book Award. His acclaimed non-fiction includes In the Land of Long Fingernails, The Circus at the Edge of the Earth, and Walk to New York, and he is the co-author with Gordie Howe of the bestseller After the Applause. He divides his time between Thunder Bay and Muskoka, Ontario.

THROUgH dUST And dARKnESSA motorcycle journey of fear and faith in the middle East

Jeremy Kroeker

Jeremy Kroeker is a Mennonite with a motorcycle. He doesn’t have a funny beard and he’s never even driven a buggy, but his family hails from the same Mennonite com-munity that Miriam Toews fictionalized in A Complicated Kindness. From childhood through college, Kroeker attended Christian schools where he learned to think criti-cally back to predetermined conclusions.

Years later, when his faith begins to unravel, Kroeker stops short of tossing it all aside, choosing instead to leave every unanswered question hanging there on the edge of his mind. He might have gotten away with it, too, except for a drunken resolution that forces the issue of God back into his life. In the fall of 2007, Kroeker decides to ride his motorcycle across Europe and into the theocratic nation of Iran . . . a nation ruled by God.

In the end, Kroeker finds himself on a forbidden visit to the holiest Muslim shrine in all of Iran. Once inside, invisible hands reach into Kroeker’s chest and rip from his heart a sincere prayer, his first in many years. And God hears that prayer. For before Kroeker can escape Mashhad, God steals into his hotel room one night to threaten him with death. At least, that’s one way to look at it.

Throughout the narrative, Kroeker swings from dogmatic belief in God to over-whelming doubt before finally deciding that the key to approaching God is humility. He understands that uncertainty is not only an acceptable state of mind when consid-ering the Divine, but it is necessary. He will always fear God. But who knows? Perhaps if he keeps riding, one of these days God will speak clearly. And that frightens him too.

Jeremy Kroeker is a freelance writer, a speaker, mountaineer and the award-winning author of Motorcycle Therapy—A Canadian Adventure in Central America. With his motorcycle, he has travelled to over thirty countries while managing to do at least one outrageously stupid thing in every one. He has evaded police in Egypt, tasted tear gas in Israel, scrambled through minefields in Bosnia and Lebanon, and wrangled a venomous snake in Austria. One time he got a sliver in El Salvador. His writing has appeared in newspapers such as the Toronto Star, Winnipeg Free Press, and Calgary Herald, and in US magazines such as Alpinist and Outrider Journal. He was born in Manitoba, grew up in Saskatchewan and currently lives in Canmore, Alberta.

RUnning TOWARd STiLLnESSStephen Legault

In 2006 Stephen Legault experienced a period of tremendous upheaval, the result of bad decisions and a lifetime of anger and fear that left him in a deep depression, strug-gling to come to terms with the choices he had made. While running on a sun-dappled trail around Victoria’s iconic Mount Douglas he realized that, like so many other people, he felt alone and afraid and was suffering, and that he had to do something about it. Having been toying with meditation for years and studying the teaching of the Buddha since he was a teenager, Stephen decided to address his suffering by dedicating himself more fully to a spiritual practice. One half of that practice was sit-ting still in meditation. The other half was running up and over southern Vancouver Island’s rocky domes of arbutus and Garry oak.

Illustrated throughout with colour photographs highlighting the tranquil beauty of India, the American Southwest, Canada’s West Coast, and the wild landscapes of the Rocky Mountains, Running Toward Stillness is an invitation to run through the woods, along the seashore, and on mountain trails in order to experience moments of sublime delight, to share the imperfect insights gained on the trail, and while sitting in meditation, and to learn that while we all suffer, we can learn to understand the root of our suffering. Most importantly, we can share the knowledge that there is an end to suffering, that this wonderful gift can be ours, and that we are one part of nature moving through the rest of creation.

Stephen Legault is a full-time conservation activist, writer, photographer and organizational development consultant. He is the author of Carry Tiger to Mountain: The Tao of Activism and Leadership, which he wrote based on his experience using the Tao Te Ching as a guide to his lifelong work to protect wilderness and wildlife. Stephen is also the author of six environmental or historically themed mystery novels, including his most recent, The Slickrock Paradox, set in Utah’s Canyonlands region, and The Third Riel Conspiracy, set during the Northwest Rebellion of 1885. He is currently working on new books of photography, essays on spirituality, and more mystery novels. He lives in Canmore, Alberta, with his wife, Jenn, and two children, Rio and Silas.

And THEn THERE WERE nUnSAdventures in a Cloistered Life

Jane Christmas

“[Jane Christmas’s] style is equal parts Nora Ephron and Bill Bryson.” —Quill & Quire

Bestselling author Jane Christmas decides to enter a convent to find out whether she is, as she puts it, “nun material.” But just as she convinces herself to take the plunge into religious life, her long-term partner, Colin, suddenly springs a proposal on her. Determined not to let her monastic dreams be sidelined as they had many times before, Christmas puts her engagement on the back burner and embarks on an extraordinary year-plus adventure to four convents—one in Canada and three in the UK. In these communities of cloistered nuns and monks, she shares—and at times chafes and rails against—the silent, simple existence she has sought all of her life.

Jane Christmas is the author of Incontinent on the Continent, What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim, and The Pelee Project. She lives in London, England.

HOW TO EXPECT WHAT YOU’RE nOT EXPECTing Stories of Pregnancy, Parenthood and Loss

Edited by Jessica Hiemstra and Lisa Martin-DeMoor

Foreword by Kim Jernigan

One size fits all does not apply to pregnancy and childbirth. Each experience is different, unique, and comes with its share of pleasure and pain. But how does one prepare for the unexpected loss of a pregnancy or hoped-for baby? In How to Expect What You’re Not Expecting writers share their true stories of miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, and other related losses. This literary anthology picks up where some pregnancy books end, and offers diverse, honest, and moving essays that can prepare and guide women and their families when the unforeseen happens.

Contributors include Chris Arthur, Kim Aubrey, Janet Baker, Yvonne Blomer, Jennifer Bowering Delisle, Kevin Bray, Erika Connor, Sadiqa de Meijer, Jessica Hiemstra, Fiona Tinwei Lam, Lisa Martin-DeMoor, Lorri Neilsen Glenn, Susan Olding, Laura Rock, Gail Marlene Schwartz, Maureen Scott Harris, Carrie Snyder, Cathy Stonehouse, and Chris Tarry.

No stranger to collabo-ration, Jessica is currently writing a novel with her mother and working on a collaborative poetry project with other Canadian poets called Translating Horses.

Lisa Martin-DeMoor is an award-winning writer, poet, and editor. Her work has appeared in a broad range of literary journals and has been broadcast on US and Canadian radio.

BETWEEn THE PiPESA Revealing Look at Hockey’s Legendary goalies

Randi Druzin

Unforgettable portraits of twelve of the best goalies of all time.

Some goalies are great and others are intriguing—the NHL hasn’t been the same since Gilles Gratton claimed he had fought in the Spanish Inquisition and skated on to the ice wearing only a jockstrap—but Dominik Hasek and a handful of other NHL goal-ies are legends because they are both.

In Between the Pipes, experienced sports journalist Randi Druzin profiles these athletes, recounting their exploits and dissecting their personalities, emphasizing the traits that make each one unique.

With wit and verve, she paints vivid portraits of men as memorable as Gump Worsley—who is a legend because he proved that, despite the principles of biome-chanics, a man shaped like a cabbage can be nimble, and because he was the funniest man ever to start in goal—and as eccentric as Jacques Plante, the first goalie with the temerity to wear a mask, whose off-ice hobbies included knitting and baking.

Goalies are the backbone of the team, and it’s no surprise that some of them suffer under the strain of a stressful and injury-laden job—like Glenn Hall, who threw up before every game. But Druzin entertains with her lively and knowledgeable prose, bolstered by interviews with family, teammates, and the great men themselves, and gives new insight into what makes these intrepid athletes tick.

Randi Druzin is an author and journalist. She has worked in print, broadcast and web jour-nalism, on staff (National Post, CBC, Global News) and as a freelancer (New York Times, Time magazine, Globe and Mail). Based first in Europe then in North America, Randi has covered events as diverse as former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s visit to Prague and the Van Halen reunion tour. Randi is the author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Women in Sports, a book that traces the history of women’s sports from antiquity to the present. She lives in Toronto.

BALLERinASex, Scandal, and Suffering Behind the Symbol of Perfection

Deirdre Kelly

A Globe and Mail top 100 book of 2012

“. . . spellbinding yet harrowing . . .”—Publishers Weekly

A controversial look at the brutal backstage existence of some of the world’s most celebrated ballerinas.

Throughout her history, the ballerina has been perceived as the embodiment of beauty and perfection. She is the feminine ideal—unblemished and ethereal, inspiration incarnate. But the reality is another story.

Beginning with the earliest ballerinas, who often led double lives as concubines, Deirdre Kelly goes on to review the troubled lives of nineteenth-century ballerinas, who lived in poverty and worked under torturous and even life-threatening condi-tions. In the twentieth century, George Balanchine created a contradictory ballet cul-ture that simultaneously idealized and oppressed ballerinas, and many of his dancers suffered from anorexia and bulimia or underwent cosmetic surgery to achieve the ideal ethereal form. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, ballerinas are still under-paid, vulnerable to arbitrary discrimination and dismissal, and expected to bear pain stoically—but much of this is beginning to change.

As Kelly examines the lives of some of the world’s best ballerinas—Anna Pavlova, Marie Camargo, Gelsey Kirkland, Evelyn Hart, and Misty Copeland, among oth-ers—she argues for a rethinking of the world’s most graceful dance form—a rethink-ing that would position the ballerina at its heart, where she belongs.

Deirdre Kelly is a journalist, author, and internationally recognized dance critic for Dance Magazine, the Dance Gazette, and the Globe and Mail, where for sixteen years she was the paper’s dance critic on staff. A contributor to the International Dictionary of Ballet and the online arts group Critics at Large, she is the author of the bestselling memoir Paris Times Eight. Her articles on dance have also appeared in Elle, Vogue, Chatelaine, and Saturday Night. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two children.

At first she enjoys exploring the area around their new home, including the boyhood haunts of the celebrated American writer Wal-lace Stegner, the backroads of the Cypress Hills, the dinosaur skeletons at the T.Rex Discovery Centre, the fossils to be found in the dust-dry hills. She also revels in her encounters with the wild inhabitants of this mysterious land—two coyotes in a ditch at night, their eyes glinting in the dark; a deer at the window; a cougar pussy-footing through a gully a few minutes’ walk from town.

But as Savage explores further, she uncovers a darker reality—a story of cruelty and survival set in the still-recent past—and finds that she must reassess the story she grew up with as the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of prairie homesteaders.

Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and imbued with Savage’s passion for this place, A Geography of Blood offers both a shocking new version of plains history and an unforgettable portrait of the windswept, shining country of the Cypress Hills, a holy place that helps us remember.

Candace Savage is the author of more than two dozen books, including Prairie: A Natural History, which was named Book of the Year at the Saskatchewan Book Awards. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, she lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

SWARmLauren Carter

In a near future of diminished energy reserves and collapsing economies, thirty-seven-year-old Sandy Burch-Bailey lives a difficult existence. She survives by fishing, farming, and beekeeping in an isolated island community with her partner, Marvin, and their elderly and ill friend, Thomson. When vegetables go missing from their garden, a small footprint in the soil leads Sandy to believe the thief is a young homeless girl they have seen before. Aching to be a mother, Sandy begins to narrate her story to the child, as memories of life in a city plagued by power outages, unemployment, and violent protests come back. In the process, she comes to terms with the impending death of her mentor and the loss of both her first true love and the dreams of her youth. When the girl’s life is threatened, Sandy and Marvin must come together to protect the child and their fragile community.

Told in two storylines divided by geography and time, Swarm is a suspenseful and powerful debut novel about survival and coming to terms with regrettable choices.

“You wake up one morning and the world has changed but not in a good way. Lauren Carter’s enthralling elegiac tale of what happens when the oil disappears is tender and terrifying and absolutely believable.” —Susan Swan, author of The Wives of Bath and What Casanova Told Me

THE dOvE in BATHURST STATiOn Patricia Westerhof

Marta Elzinga has been searching for a sign. When she spots an elusive mink on the shoreline of the Toronto Island Airport, she thinks it is a message. The pigeon that boards the subway at Bathurst Station is the second sign. But how to read these dispatches?

Plagued with indecision and prone to magical thinking, Marta needs direction. A floundering guidance counsellor, she struggles to meet the needs of the students for whom she is responsible, as well as those of her charming but unstable husband. During a tour of historical buildings in Toronto, Marta visits an abandoned subway station and runs into a former student. He invites her to join him in some urban exploration. And so, in the late evenings, Marta comes to traverse the dangerous geography beneath the city’s streets. Through these journeys, Marta confronts the coils in her own thinking about providence, chance, and personal responsibility.

Complex and stirring, this novel is about finding hope and reconciliation.

Pilgrimage opens in the deep winter of 1891 on a Métis settlement north of Fort Edmonton. Lac St. Anne is a place people journey to in search of tradition, redemption, and miracles in an age of change. It is a place known as Manito Sakahigan in Cree, “Spirit Lake,” and has been renamed for Christ’s grandmother and the patron saint of childbirth. It is on this land that the intertwining stories of four people trying to make a life in the colonial Northwest evolve: Mahkesîs Cardinal, a young Métis girl pregnant by the Hudson’s Bay Company manager; Moira Murphy, an Irish Catholic who works as a house girl for the Barretts; Georgina Barrett, the Anglo-Irish wife of the HBC manager who wishes to have a child; and Gabriel Cardinal, Mahkesîs’s brother who works as an Athabasca River scow man and falls in love with Moira. Over a tumultuous year, secrets are revealed, desires are resisted and met, babies are born and lost, miracles are prayed for, and one woman’s body left in a well on an abandoned homestead.

Set in a northern landscape, Pilgrimage is a moving debut novel about journeys and women and men trying to survive the violent intimacy of a small place where cultures intersect.

LOng gOnE mAnPhyllis Smallman

In this new series from the author of the popular Sherri Travis Mysteries, Singer Brown’s life takes a nosedive after the suspicious death of her lover, Michael, a roadie for a rock band called Vortex. Twenty years later, she is looking for revenge. In a thick fog, a ferry docks on Glenphiddie Island and Singer’s decrepit van unloads. The homeless singer is there to find the man who destroyed her life all those years ago. But she arrives too late. Someone has already killed Vortex’s lead singer, Johnny Vibes. And now the murderer is coming after Singer. Each of the former band members is hiding sins, both old and new—secrets worth killing for. But Singer has one potential ally: Johnny Vibes’s wife, who has just as much to lose as Singer. While trying to clear her name and solve the mystery of Michael’s death, Singer enters a dangerous and deadly world of jealousy, greed, and murder.

Set in the Pacific Northwest, this series follows Singer Brown, a musician who sings on the streets for coins and watches life ebb and flow around her. With a knack for being in the right place at the wrong time, Singer is one of society’s invisible people. And being unseen is an incredible advantage to have when you’re digging for secrets.

THE WAR On SCiEnCEmuzzled Scientists and Wilful Blindness in Stephen Harper’s Canada

Chris Turner

A passionate and meticulously researched argument against the Harper government’s war on science.

In this arresting and fiery indictment, award-winning journalist Chris Turner argues that Stephen Harper’s attack on basic science, science communication, environmental regulations, and the environmental NGO community is the most vicious assault ever waged by a Canadian government on the fundamental principles of the Enlightenment. From the closure of Arctic research stations as oil drilling begins in the High Arctic to slashed research budgets in agriculture, dramatic changes to the nation’s fisheries policy, and the muzzling of government scientists, Harper’s government has effectively dismantled Canada’s long-standing scientific tradition.

Drawing on interviews with scientists whose work has been halted by budget cuts and their colleagues in an NGO community increasingly treated as an enemy of the state, The War on Science paints a vivid and damning portrait of a government that has abandoned environmental stewardship and severed a national commitment to the objective truth of basic science as old as Canada itself.

Chris Turner is a journalist and the author of The Leap: How to Survive and Thrive in the Sustainable Economy, a finalist for the 2011 National Business Book Award, and The Geography of Hope: A Tour of the World We Need, a finalist for the Governor General’s Award for Non-fiction. He lives in Calgary.


THE BURning QUESTiOnWe can’t burn half the world’s oil, coal, and gas. So how do we quit?

Mike Berners-Lee and Duncan Clark

Foreword by Bill McKibben

Take one complex scientific discipline. Add the future of energy, economics, and geopolitics. Season with human nature . . .

The Burning Question reveals climate change to be the most fascinating scientific, political, and social puzzle in history. It shows that carbon emissions are still accelerat-ing upward, following an exponential curve that goes back centuries. One reason is that saving energy is like squeezing a balloon: reductions in one place lead to increases elsewhere. Another reason is that clean energy sources don’t in themselves slow the rate of fossil fuel extraction.

Tackling global warming will mean persuading the world to abandon oil, coal, and gas reserves worth many trillions of dollars—at least until we have the means to put carbon back in the ground. The burning question is whether that can be done. What mix of politics, psychology, economics, and technology might be required? Are the energy companies massively overvalued, and how will carbon-cuts affect the glob-al economy? Will we wake up to the threat in time? And who can do what to make it all happen?

Mike Berners-Lee is a leading carbon consultant and author of How Bad Are Bananas?, one of the best-selling green books of recent years.

Duncan Clark is a Guardian environment journalist and author of various successful books, including The Rough Guide to Green Living.

“Kate Rawles sets out to discover about global warming the hard way . . .” —Michael Palin, author of Around the World in 80 Days and Pole to Pole

“A wonderfully rich and insightful narrative . . . an extraordinarily revealing series of vignettes. Kate’s workaday belief that the principal purpose of philosophy is ‘to ques-tion the assumptions of our age’ keeps even her most abstract reflections grounded in an admirable way.” —Jonathon Porritt, author of Capitalism as if the World Matters

In 2006 “outdoor philosopher” Kate Rawles cycled 4,553 miles from Texas to Alaska, following the spine of the Rocky Mountains as closely as possible. Cycling across unforgiving but starkly beautiful landscapes in both the United States and Canada—deserts, high mountain passes, glaciers, and eventually down to the sea—she encoun-tered bears, wolves, moose, cliff swallows, aspens, and a single astonishing lynx. Along the way, she talked to North Americans about climate change—from truck drivers to politicians—to find out what they knew about it, whether they cared, and if they did, what they thought they could do.

Kate tells the story of a trip in which she has to deal with the rigours of cycling for ten hours a day in temperatures often in excess of 100° F, fighting punctures, endless repairs, and inescapable, grinding fatigue. But in recounting the physical struggle of such a journey, she also does constant battle with her own ideas and assumptions, helping us to cross the great divide between where we are on climate change and where we need to be. Can we tackle climate change while still keeping our modern Western lifestyles intact? Should we put biofuel in our camper vans and RVs? Or do we need much deeper shifts in lifestyles, values and worldviews?

Kate Rawles studied philosophy at Aberdeen University and environmental philosophy at Glasgow and Colorado State. She was an indoor philosophy lecturer for nearly a decade before escaping to work freelance in 2000. Kate now works half time as a lecturer in out-door studies at the University of Cumbria teaching environmental issues, and half time as a freelance outdoor philosopher, writer, lecturer, and campaigner. She is passionate about the need to find urgent, effective and suitably radical responses to our multiple environmental challenges (including giving our values and worldviews a thorough overhaul)—and firmly believes our quality of life can go up rather than down in the process. Kate is a keen hill walker and sea kayaker (with a particular love of remote islands with lots of wildlife) as well as a long-distance cyclist. She is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and sits on the Food Ethics Council. She lives in Cumbria, United Kingdom.

THE EARTH mAnifESTOSaving nature with Engaged Ecology

David Tracey

We live in critical times. Choices we make daily now will affect the future of life itself. Years from now children will study our era on the brink and ask their elders, “When the planet was burning, what did you do?”

Problems as big as the world are daunting, but solutions are at hand, within each of us. The Earth Manifesto: Saving Nature with Engaged Ecology offers an approach to regaining control of our environmental destiny by rediscovering our affinity for nature and then acting to preserve it.

Rooted in common sense, the author’s “Six Laws of Engaged Ecology” move us from theory, in concepts such as interdependence and the wilderness found in our minds, to practice, with explanations of ground-truthing and creating a community through shared environmental principles.

David Tracey is an environmental designer and author of four previous books, including Guerilla Gardening: A Manualfesto and the novel The Miracle Tree. As a journalist he has covered politics, culture, and the environment from countries on five continents for media including the International Herald Tribune, The Economist, The Globe and Mail, CBC Radio and many others. He runs the environmental design company EcoUrbanist, which special-izes in ecological approaches to urban development, and is executive director of the non-profit group Tree City, which is working to “help people and trees grow together.” David is a frequent public speaker in Canada and abroad on environmental and urban ecology issues. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.

On fRACKingC. Alexia Lane

Across North America and around the world, a significant shift from conventional to unconventional energy extraction is occurring like never before. As traditional energy sources dwindle and the insatiable demand for fossil fuels continues to increase, civilization seems to be taking greater and greater risks in order to fuel our seemingly endless consumption and overuse of this planet’s natural resources.

Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” has emerged as a lightning rod of controversy as engaged citizens grow more and more concerned with the threats facing groundwater, local geology, and the depletion of surface water. Although there have been relatively few proven instances of such threats when compared to the number of complaints filed, there is a prevailing sense of anger and frustration at the lack of transparency in the regulatory structure, and enforcement of environmental measures to safeguard both surface and groundwater sources. Of noted concern is the intensity with which wells are scheduled to be fracked despite public concerns, calls for moratoriums, and a lack of baseline scientific data to ensure proper evaluation and follow-up monitoring of fracked wells.

C. Alexia Lane’s first RMB Manifesto makes it clear that there is an urgent need for current policies to be reformed in order to alleviate various community, ecological and environmental concerns, and to ensure the long-term protection of our precious water sources.

C. Alexia Lane holds a master of environmental applied science and management from Ryerson University. She has worked on various water management initiatives in China, Vietnam, Portugal, and Canada, and has travelled extensively observing the changes to waterways across the globe. She currently lives in Edmonton, Alberta. On Fracking is her first book.

THE HOmEWARd WOLfKevin Van Tighem

Wolves have a complicated comeback story. Their tracks are once again making trails throughout western Alberta, southern British Columbia, and the northwestern Unit-ed States, and the lonesome howls of the legendary predator are no longer mere echoes from our frontier past: they are prophetic voices emerging from the hills of our con-temporary reality.

Kevin Van Tighem’s first RMB Manifesto explores the history of wolf eradication in western North America, and the species’ recent return to the places where humans live and play. Rich with personal anecdotes and the stories of individual wolves whose fates reflect the complexity of our relationship with these animals, The Homeward Wolf neither romanticizes nor demonizes this wide-ranging carnivore with whom we once again share our western spaces. Instead, it argues that wolves are coming back to stay, that conflicts will continue to rise, and that we will need to find new ways to manage our relationship with this formidable predator in our ever-changing world.

Whether they fear wolves or love them, readers will find this book as challenging as it is enlightening. The author offers a powerful argument that how we choose to live with the homeward wolf will bring out the best in us . . . or the worst. In the end, the return of the wolf may ultimately help us find our own ways into a deeper, more sustainable relationship with the great western landscapes that enrich and define us.

Kevin Van Tighem has studied wildlife and habitat in western Canada for almost fourty years. A naturalist and hunter, he has written more than 200 articles, stories, and essays on con-servation and wildlife, which have garnered him many awards, including Western Magazine Awards, Outdoor Writers of Canada book and magazine awards, and the Journey Award for Fiction. He has served on the executive committees of the Federation of Alberta Natural-ists, Alberta Wilderness Association, and Foothills Model Forest. His decades of work in landscape ecology, conservation biology, and nature interpretation in the national parks of western Canada culminated in 2011 with his retirement as superintendent of Banff National Park. Kevin is the author of Bears: Without Fear (RMB, 2013). He lives in Canmore, Alberta.

SAving LAKE WinniPEgRobert William Sandford

In February of 2013, as reported by major media from all around the world, Lake Winnipeg was recognized by the Global Nature Fund as the world’s “Threatened Lake of the Year for 2013.” It is not just Manitoba and Canada, however, that deserve a black eye as a result of Lake Winnipeg landing up on this dreadful shortlist. While representative of serious economic threats to the economy of the Central Great Plains region in both Canada and the United States, the condi-tion of Lake Winnipeg is a symbol of a much larger problem. The cyano-bacteria that now form huge blooms in Lake Winnipeg each summer are among the old-est known photosynthetic micro-organisms. Recent research demonstrates that the toxin this bacteria produces has been now been detected in water bodies all across Canada, at levels exceeding maximum guidelines in every province. The deteriorating condition of Lake Winnipeg, and the pervasive presence of these toxins is a challenge to the future vitality of our crucial agricultural sector, and thus an issue of growing national health and economic concern.

In his third book in this RMB series, internationally respected water policy analyst Robert Sandford has given the people of the Central Great Plains a true manifesto that can be used to convince government, industry, and society that drastic change is needed if we are to avoid the troubles currently plaguing Lake Winnipeg from spreading to other bodies of water throughout North America.

Robert William Sandford is a world-renowned and respected authority on freshwater issues as they relate to climate change and disruption. In 2011 he was invited to be an adviser on water issues by the InterAction Council, a global public-policy think tank composed of more than twenty former national leaders, including Jean Chrétien, Bill Clinton, and Vicente Fox. He is the author of some twenty books on the history and ecol-ogy of the Canadian mountain West, including Water, Weather and the Mountain West (RMB, 2007), Restoring the Flow: Confronting the World’s Water Woes (RMB, 2009), Ethical Water: Learning To Value What Matters Most (RMB, 2011) and Cold Matters: The State and Fate of Canada’s Fresh Water (RMB, 2013). He lives in Canmore, Alberta.

TEd gRAnTSixty Years of Legendary Photojournalism

Thelma Fayle

Foreword by Maureen McTeer and Joe Clark

Ted Grant, the undisputed father of Canadian photojournalism, has made a career out of being in the right place at the right time. Over his sixty years in the business, he has immortalized some of the greatest events in history, and caught some of the world’s most famous and elusive subjects in rare moments of unaffected humanity. From Pierre Trudeau jubilantly sliding down a banister to Ben Johnson in his brief moment of glory at the 1988 Olympics to Sue Rodriguez in her right-to-die campaign, Grant has amassed a collection of over 300,000 photographs—the largest by a single photojournalist in Canadian history.

Based on more than fifty interviews with the man himself (as well as with his family, friends, and colleagues across Canada) and extensive research of the Ted Grant Special Collections in Ottawa, this book is both an iconic and an intimate portrait of the second half of the twentieth century, Canada’s coming of age, and the man who saw it all through the lens of his camera.

Thelma Fayle is a freelance writer with a BFA in non-fiction writing from the University of Victoria. She has been published widely in the Globe and Mail, Reader’s Digest, CBC.ca, The Tyee, the Times Colonist, Boulevard, Focus, Senior Living, the IPAC Journal and the Highlander. She is a member of the Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC) and the Writer’s Union of Canada (TWUC). She lives in Victoria.

BEAUTY BY dESigninspired gardening in the Pacific northwest

Bill Terry and Rosemary Bates

You may never look at a garden in the same way again. Though not a how-to book, Beauty by Design is a treasure trove of ideas and enchantment for seasoned gardeners and beginners alike. Eleven inspired artists of the garden share their stories, their secrets, and their passion for gardening.

Travel with Bill Terry and Rosemary Bates to these special places on the Pacific Northwest coast. Visit Dan Hinkley’s enchanted garden, perched above the shore of Puget Sound in Washington State. Close by, beauty explodes in an earthly paradise created by sculptors George and David Lewis, and in Linda Cochran’s stunning garden of exotics. Cross the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver Island and potter Robin Hopper’s “Anglo-Japanadian” woodland wonderland. Enjoy the subtle blending of texture and colour in painter Eva Diener’s Sunshine Coast botanical garden. Admire the genius of Robert and Birgit Bateman’s inspiring space on Salt Spring Island, Des and Sandy Kennedy’s fairy-tale forest house and garden on Denman Island, and Kathy Leishman’s garden of refinement for all seasons on Bowen Island. In downtown Vancouver, Glen Patterson indulges his passion for alpines and conifers in his astonishing third-storey roof garden. Elsewhere in the city, Pam Frost’s eye for colour and arrangement transports the viewer out of the urban into the sublime, while on the Saanich Peninsula, writers Lorna Crozier and Patrick Lane speak with love and eloquence about their garden—and in verse, too.

Accompanied by breathtaking photographs, these gardeners and their stories will inspire all who love to paint with plants.

Bill Terry is a retired CBC executive. He is the author of Blue Heaven: Encounters with the Blue Poppy and Beyond Beauty: Hunting the Wild Blue Poppy. His calendar, Poppies from the Roof of the World, also features this rare and beautiful plant. Since 1994, he has lived on BC’s Sunshine Coast with his wife, pursuing a lifelong ambition to create the perfect garden. Please visit meconopsis.ca.

Rosemary Bates worked as a print journalist in Regina and Winnipeg. She later worked at the CBC in Winnipeg and Toronto and became a producer for the current affairs and arts programs, including The Arts Report and The Arts Tonight. As co-author of Beauty by Design, she joins her husband, Bill Terry, in writing the stories of passionate gardeners.

THE LAnd Of HEART’S dELigHTEarly maps and Charts of vancouver island

Michael Layland

Just how, and why, did Vancouver Island get onto the map? How was knowledge of our immediate geography acquired and recorded? With 130 maps, dating between 1593 and 1915, this cartographic history tells the story of how Vancouver Island and the surrounding area came to be mapped. The book shows local cartographic milestones, marking progress in our knowledge through the Island’s rich—although comparatively short—recorded history. However, the maps by themselves cannot tell the whole story. The accompanying text reveals the motives, constraints, agendas, and intrigues that underpin their making.

The narrative, roughly chronological, begins before the arrival of Europeans and concludes at the outset of the First World War. With an introduction on the history and significance of map-making, as well as an afterword summarizing subsequent cartographic developments and an index, endnotes, list of cartographic sources, and glossary, The Land of Heart’s Delight is an informative and fascinating compilation of the early maps of Vancouver Island.

Michael Layland was born and educated in England and trained as an officer and map-maker in the Royal Engineers. He serves as the current president of the Friends of the BC Archives, is a former president of the Victoria Historical Society, and is on the committee of the Historical Map Society of BC. He is also a member of the Society for the History of Discoveries and the International Map Collectors’ Society. His articles on explorers and exploration history have appeared in international encyclopedias, including eight entries in the two-volume Oxford Companion to World Exploration. He also reviews books for British Columbia History magazine. Michael has lived in British Columbia for some thirty years, the last twenty in Victoria.

QUARAnTinEdLife and death at William Head Station,

1872-1959

Peter Johnson

Vancouver Island in the late nineteenth century was a major port of entry for people from all walks of life. But for many, the sense of hope that had sustained them through rough sea voyages came to an abrupt halt as soon as they reached land. Quarantined is the heart-wrenching true story of the thousands of forgotten people who arrived on our shores only to be felled by disease in an era when medical care was unsophisticated at best and attitudes toward the poor and the sick were often narrow minded. It is about the struggle to establish a federally funded quarantine station, which, when it was finally built, became as significant and as longstanding as Grosse-Îsle in Quebec, Lawlor’s Island in Halifax, and Ellis Island in New York.

At its core, Quarantined is a cautionary tale about the exploitation of the sick and the results of government neglect and lack of commitment to pressing national health-care issues affecting the poor and disenfranchised. It is a story that has as much relevance today as it did more than a hundred years ago.

Peter Johnson has taught history, English and creative writing in Canadian high schools and colleges for over thirty-five years. He has written two previous books, Glyphs and Gallows: The Rock Art of Clo-oose and the Wreck of the John Bright and Voyages of Hope: The Saga of the Brideships. He has also written and directed a documentary film on Lake Winnipeg, which was shown on CBC television, and published interpretive articles on Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov and George Orwell’s 1984. He lives in Vancouver.

HAROLd mORTimER-LAmBThe Art Lover

Robert Amos

Harold Mortimer-Lamb’s name is in the index of almost every book written on the history of Canadian art, yet his story has never been told. Photographer, writer, painter, promoter—he was a man of many parts and the ideal patron and friend to some of Canada’s most famous artists, including A.Y. Jackson, Emily Carr, and Jack Shadbolt. At the centre of his story are his relationships with painter Frederick Varley and young student Vera Weatherbie, and the love triangle between them. Eventually Mortimer-Lamb, at the age of seventy, married Vera when she was just thirty.

Beautifully illustrated with his photos, paintings, and the art he collected, Harold Mortimer-Lamb: The Art Lover brings into focus an unknown chapter in Canadian art history.

Robert Amos has painted thousands of pictures of the urban landscape and specializes in commissioned paintings of homes and gardens. He writes a weekly column, “On Art,” published in the Times Colonist, and is the author (and illustrator) of seven books about Victoria, including Hometown: Out and About in Victoria’s Neighbourhoods, Artists in their Studios: Where Art is Born, and Inside Chinatown: Ancient Culture in a New World. Robert has recently been the artist in residence at the Fairmont Empress Hotel and is an Honorary Citizen of Victoria. He was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1995. Robert lives in downtown Victoria, British Columbia. Please visit Robert’s website robertamos.com.

THE CARiBOO TRAiLA Chronicle of the gold-fields of British Columbia

Agnes C. Laut

Foreword by Diana French

Agnes C. Laut’s The Cariboo Trail is a fascinating history of the Canadian gold rush that began in 1858. When, in early 1849, a group of ragged miners arrived in the sleepy town of Victoria from California, no one would have believed that a little over ten years later a gold rush would hit the Fraser River.

Between 1859 and 1871, thousands of miners and prospectors travelled north and east from the headwaters of the Fraser River with the hopes of striking it rich. And many did—over the course of twelve years, twenty-five million dollars in gold came from the Cariboo country.

Originally published in 1920 as part of the Chronicles of Canada series, Laut’s excit-ing and personalized account of the Cariboo gold rush is filled with tidbits gleaned through conversations with “old-timers” still living on the trail and facts acquired on trips in the Rockies guided by prospectors. From the story of the construction of the famous Cariboo road—“one of the wonders of the world”—and the Overlanders’ journey across the width of the continent to details about the techniques and machin-ery used in the mines and life in the camps, the period, the gold rush, and the Cariboo region are brought to life for the reader.

Though it had ended by federation with the Canadian Dominion, the “inrush of miners” during the Cariboo gold rush gave birth to the colony of British Columbia. The Cariboo Trail is a more than just a narrative of those events—it is a thoroughly enjoyable and integral part of the history of the region and of Canada.

Agnes C. Laut was born in Huron County, Ontario, in 1871. She became a reporter and edi-torial writer for the Manitoba Free Press in the 1890s, then a wide-ranging travel writer. Her books include Pioneers of the Pacific Coast, Lords of the North, Heralds of Empire, The Story of the Trapper, Pathfinders of the West, Vikings of the Pacific, Canada at the Crossroads, and The Romance of the Rails. She died in 1936.

dRUgSTORE COWgiRLAdventures in the Cariboo–Chilcotin

Patricia Joy MacKay

In 1964, Patricia MacKay immigrated to Canada from England in search of the wild, open lands and cowboy culture that had captivated her as a child. In the 1960s, the Wild West was still alive and kicking in the Cariboo–Chilcotin, though it had been tamed—a little. Old-time hospitality and helping anyone in need was the acknowledged way of life.

Pat learned the Cariboo–Chilcotin way of life first hand by spending her sum-mers working on guest ranches and finding other jobs to keep her occupied during the winters. From learning how to cook on the job to kitchen disasters and successes, roundups, branding, square dances, and falling in love, she slowly gained acceptance into the tight-knit communities of BC’s Interior.

Ranching meant long hours, hard work, and a lifestyle all its own. Entertainment was homemade. There were rodeos, dances, and music around campfires in the sum-mer, and ice hockey, tobogganing, and parties in the winter. Sadly, that way of life is gradually disappearing, but this book relives the way things were between 1964 and 1976; it tells of a unique brand of people from a variety of backgrounds who made this part of the west their home.

Patricia Joy MacKay was born in England and immigrated to Canada in April 1964. Despite having no experience in the culinary arts when she arrived, she worked as a cook on guest ranches in the Cariboo for four summers and discovered that working cowboys and open spaces really did still exist. Pat lived and worked in the Cariboo–Chilcotin until 1989, when she moved to the Sunshine Coast and began operating a small farm with her partner. In April of 2012, she moved back to Williams Lake.

THE LAiRd Of fORT WiLLiAmWilliam mcgillivray and the north West Company

Irene Ternier Gordon

High finance, wilderness adventures, violence, and questionable legal tactics all played important roles in the history of the North West Company. William McGillivray, head of the company from 1804 until 1821, was arguably the most powerful business-man in Canada in the early nineteenth century.

William McGillivray emigrated from the Scottish Highlands to work for his uncle Simon McTavish when he was twenty years old and became head of the NWC in 1804 upon McTavish’s death. The period from 1805 to 1814 was a time of quick expansion and great prosperity for the company; however, its decline was even more rapid. It could be argued that the NWC did not merge with the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1821 but rather was swallowed up by it. By the time William died in 1825, the McGil-livray family had been forced into bankruptcy.

Set against the history and legacy of the NWC, this engaging biography tells McGillivray’s complete story, from his early years in Scotland, immigration to Canada, and fur-trading successes to his eventual downfall.

Irene Ternier Gordon lives along the Assiniboine River in Headingley, Manitoba. She has had a passion for history and writing since childhood. After a career as a teacher-librarian, she became a freelance writer in 1998. She enjoys canoeing, skiing, sailing, hiking, swimming, travelling, and, above all, spending time with her two young grandsons, Jesse and Riley.

EnEmY OffSHORE! japan’s Secret War on north America’s West Coast

Brendan Coyle and Melanie Arnis

On June 20, 1942, the lighthouse at Estevan Point on Vancouver Island was shelled by the Japanese submarine I-26. It was the first enemy attack on Canadian soil since the War of 1812. But this was only one incident in the incredible and little-known Japanese campaign to terrorize North America’s west coast and mount an invasion through the Aleutian Islands.

Enemy Offshore! is a dramatic, comprehensive narrative of the events that unfolded as Japan brought the Second World War to North American shores. Submarines—Japan’s formidable I-boats—stalked the West Coast, attacking ships and shore stations. A Japanese aircraft-carrier force attacked Alaska twice, grabbing a footing in North America and launching a bloody conflict in the Aleutians. The Japanese bombed an Oregon forest in an eccentric plan to start mass fires and desperately launched thousands of bomb-laden balloons against Canada and the United States.

Here are also the stories of ordinary citizens—fishermen, Natives, and wilderness warriors—who allied with the military in the extraordinary but largely unknown war on the West Coast.

Brendan Coyle was born and raised in New Westminster, BC. He is the author of the bestselling book War on our Doorstep. His freelance articles on BC historical topics have appeared in the Times Colonist, Vancouver Sun and Province newspapers as well as in various diving publications. In 2003 he addressed the American Battlefield Protection Program of the National Park Service in New York on the importance of preserving the Kiska Island battlefield in Alaska.

Melanie Arnis lives with her husband, Brendan Coyle, in Steveston, BC. Melanie has been an educational assistant supporting children with special needs for the last thirty years. She has written and edited articles and newsletters in many volunteer capacities, as well as collaborating with Brendan on Enemy Offshore! and editing his other writings.

jAmES mACLEOdThe mountie Who Tamed the Canadian West

Elle Andra-Warner

A descendant of warriors, chiefs and military men of the Clan MacLeod, James A.F. Macleod led an adventurous life that took him from his birthplace on Scotland’s Isle of Skye to the Canadian west. After immigrating to Ontario, Macleod became a law-yer and militia officer before joining the effort to quell the 1870 Red River Rebellion. In 1874, he was appointed assistant commissioner of the newly formed North West Mounted Police and led his troops west to smash the whisky trade and bring law and order to the vast North-West Territories.

Macleod smoked the peace pipe with prominent chiefs like Crowfoot and Red Crow, earning their trust as a man who kept his promises. As a policeman and judge, Macleod showed a strong sense of justice, sympathizing with the plight of First Nations peoples and challenging the government when it failed to fulfill treaty obligations.

This exciting new biography is a vivid account of the larger-than-life Canadian hero who played a major role in the peaceful development of western Canada.

Elle Andra-Warner is a bestselling author, journalist, and photographer. Her award-winning articles appear regularly in major publications, and her newspaper columns have been in print since 1994. She has given journalism workshops throughout Canada, is an online guest lecturer in journalism for the University of California, Los Angeles, and is the co-editor of the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society’s annual journal. Estonian by heritage, Elle was born in a post–Second World War United Nations displaced persons camp for Estonians in Eckernforde, West Germany.

In 1973, he began experimenting with a remote-controlled underwater television camera to study salmon strike behaviour. His underwater close-ups, in freeze frame and slow motion, revealed for the first time many fascinating new facts about how salmon and other species approach and strike various lures. Charlie White died in 2010.

THE LEgEnd Of THE BUffALO STOnEWritten by Dawn Welykochy

Illustrated by Charles Bullshields

The Legend of the Buffalo Stone is based on the history of the Blackfoot people—specifically their dependence on the buffalo and how they hunted the great ani-mals on foot before horses were brought to North America—and is retold with the permission and under the advisement of a First Nations scholar and member of the Blackfoot nation.

The story centres on Hanata, a young Blackfoot girl who understands the importance of the buffalo for her peoples’ survival. She not only helps to hunt the great animals, but also prepares the meat and skins and makes toys for the younger children using bison bones. She knows that without the buffalo her people would lose their main source of food and shelter. Then, a long winter descends on the land and the buffalo disappear. Hungry and desperate, Hanata goes on a quest in search of an iniskim, a stone shaped like a sleeping buffalo and possessed of powers that will make the buffalo return. After a long and dangerous journey with only basic supplies and courage in her heart, Hanata finds the stone and comes back to her village. She uses the iniskim to the call the buffalo and, sure enough, the animals return. Hanata and her people are saved.

This story is ideally suited for elementary school–aged children and can easily be incorporated into the grade four and five Alberta school curriculum, which covers First Nations history and legends.

Dawn Welykochy was born and raised in Calgary and has a lifelong passion for story-telling and the outdoors. Her first children’s book, C is for Chinook, was published in 2004. Dawn and her family now live on a ranch in Southern Alberta, where the land and wildlife at her doorstep constantly inspire her.

Charles Bullshields is an artist from the Blood Tribe, a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy. Charles is self-taught and uses his artwork to reflect and keep in touch with Native heritage and traditions. He was born in Cardston, Alberta, and now lives in Standoff, Alberta.

THE SALmOn TWinS Caroll Simpson

In her third book inspired by First Nations’ stories, children’s author and illustrator Caroll Simpson explains the significance of community values. She introduces readers to a world of creatures like Sea Lion, Killer Whale, Dogfish, and Kingfisher. Her dramatic tale of young twins and their transformation shows how working together keeps a community healthy.

When new twins are born in a mythical Pacific Coast village, everyone celebrates because the birth of twins is a rare occasion; twins are the children of the salmon. But when the twins grow selfish and greedy, Thunderbird transforms them into a Two-Headed Sea Serpent. Can the Serpent’s heads learn to work together? The question becomes more important when the salmon don’t run up the river and the villagers start to go hungry. The Serpent’s heads have to co-operate with each other to solve the mystery and restore the salmon run.

Written for children aged three to ten, this charming story is illustrated with Simpson’s distinctive colour paintings that celebrate First Nations culture. A glossary of mythical creatures and sea life provides informative teaching points and invites further exploration of West Coast cultures.

Caroll Simpson taught Native art and drama to elementary schoolchildren for many years before buying a remote fishing lodge, Ookpik Wilderness Lodge, in the northern interior of British Columbia. Located on Babine Lake, it is accessible only by boat in the summer months and by snowshoes during the winter. She spends the off-season writing and painting. Caroll’s work is a celebration of the legends and art of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest.

ROLL OnRick Hansen Wheels Around the World

Written by Ainslie Manson

Illustrated by Ron Lightburn

The remarkable story of Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion World Tour—and all the big dreams it inspired.

As Rick Hansen wheels around the globe on his incredible Man in Motion World Tour, the children he meets are encouraged to dream their own dreams and work to make them come true. In China, after meeting Rick, Lin, who longs to be a ballerina, pictures herself leaping gracefully over a wall as high as the Great Wall of China. Back in Canada, Jack makes great progress in his wheelchair—even learning to do a wheelie—as he eagerly awaits his hero’s return.

On the eve of its twenty-fifth anniversary, Rick Hansen’s compelling journey is retold for young readers and brought to life in this beautifully illustrated book. It is a story of triumph, adventure, and enormous personal challenge. Readers travel with Rick, glimpsing not just the joys but all the ups and downs and the aches and pains that he endured on the 43,000-kilometre journey.

Readers also discover little-known facts of the great journey. They learn that Rick wheeled the equivalent of three marathons a day and went through ninety-four pairs of gloves. And they learn about the gift of a song that Rick and his team sang or hummed kilometre after kilometre. The lively text and enchanting illustrations combine to bring to life Rick’s amazing feat and the impact it has had on children everywhere.

Ainslie Manson is the author of twelve books for children, including Ballerinas Don’t Wear Glasses, Just Like New, and Boy in Motion, which was about Hansen’s youth and his coming to grips with his disability. Ainslie lives on Bowen Island, near Vancouver, British Columbia.

Ron Lightburn’s career as a children’s book illustrator was launched with his Governor General’s Award–winning artwork for Waiting for the Whales in 1991. Since then his artwork has graced the covers of more than sixty books. Ron and his partner, Sandra, live in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley.

m.E. A Portrayal of Emily Carr

Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher

Introduction by Susan Crean

M.E.: A Portrayal of Emily Carr is a rare and moving study of an artist’s struggle against despair and loneliness, and an intimate portrayal of the close friendship between Edythe and Emily. The two artists were good friends and met not long after Edythe had returned from Paris, where she had studied art. Written as a friendly appreciation of the character of Emily Carr, rather than her life, Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher’s ren-dering was described in reviews of the time as “a fond memoir, well-written, a modest and excellent little book, throws new light on her methods of painting and describes the humourous adventures of camping with Emily Carr.” It also contains edited versions of twenty letters written by Carr to her friend, and the cover features a rare painting of Carr recently discovered. M.E. was first published in 1969 and has been out of print for years.

Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher (1906–1994) was a painter and writer from Victoria. She studied art in Paris, travelled widely and became a good friend of Emily’s (and her only sketching partner). Edythe authored Emily Carr: The Untold Story and was the Provincial Consultant on Emily Carr. The Life and Art of Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher, by Christina Johnson-Dean, was published by MTP in 2013.

Susan Crean, author of The Laughing One—a Journey to Emily Carr (2001), was nominated for a Governor General’s award in Literature.
