Voices From the Wild An Animal Sensagoria by David Bouchard Illustrated by Ron Parker

What would it be like if more than two dozen different wild animals from around the world got together to boast about their senses? 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.

David Bouchard’s vivid poetry and Ron Parker’s wonderful artwork breathe life into this endearing menagerie, reminding us of how precious our wildlife is.

O N T H E LABRADOR On the Labrador Arnold Zageris

ARNOLD ZAGERIS

Why Labrador?

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.

Everyone takes pictures to bring back memories of times and places that moved them. 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.

Pages: 250 Initially the country’s own mounted police force took up the black & white photographs 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.”

Tales Behind the Loincloth Jennifer Podemski

For many years, Jennifer Podemski told herself a lie and if lie haunted her. 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.

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 Pub Date: July 2013 formed the actor, producer, and storyteller Jennifer Podemski Price: $19.95 is today.

Jennifer began producing in 1999 when she co-founded the production company Big Soul Productions with Laura Milliken. Together they created and produced many award- winning 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.

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.

This book represents the work of 45 noted Canadian ground water scientists. It provides a science-based overview and a collective understanding of Canada’s groundwater resources in order to support their sustainable use and protection.

Northern Heat Best Canadian Erotic Romance Stories Edited by Opal Carew

Canadian authors have recently come out of the “genre fiction” closet to make their mark in the high-brow literary world. 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 Pub Date: Febuary 2013 published Northern Horror, an anthology of Canadian horror writers. Price: $24.95 EAN: 978-1-550823943 In Northern Heat, Canadian authors stake a claim to the Trim: 6 x 9 erotic romance genre and step out from behind their Format: Trade paper 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.

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.

The book opens with an introduction to Musashi as a Pub Date: June 2013 real-life figure, not just the legend. Musashi was born in Price: $39.95 1584, a time of transition in Japan that saw centuries of EAN: 978-1-56836-475-9 violence give way to an era of peace. In his early years, Trim: 7.5 x 10.25 Musashi studied kenjutsu (the technique of the sword) Format: Hard cover and trailed as a warrior. By the age of thirty, he had Pages: 224 proved himself a gifted swordsman. Warriors, however, 1337 black & white photographs 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.
