I first discovered Mr Edmundston's books fifteen years ago in Canadian bookstores. Since then, I have consulted them prior to making any car purchases.

The Lemon-aid Guides are a lot different than most similar books on the market. They review each model very critically listing the positives and the negatives. What I have found to be remarkable is the accuracy of the reviews. You can tell that the reviewer has actually driven the vehicle.

Also, unlike most guides, Lemon-aid identifies most of the "hidden warranties" of the auto manufacturing - the problems that will only be resolved by aggressive complaining to the manufacturer.

A must read.

I could of saved over 20.000 bucks over the last ten years in car repairs if i knew what i know now.

I was amazed at the depth of research, photos and overall information presented in this album. It leaves NO stone unturned in her personal and professional life and is an honest and fond tribute to such a unique woman. Can't recommend this book highly enough. I am a HUGE "Anne fan" and have read all of LMM's books and had VERY high expectations upon receiving this album. It surpassed them all. This is a true classic and one that you will open again and again thru the years.

If you are looking for a thoroughly researched and painstakenly complete volume on this author, look no further. This highly entertaining book is a must to all fans of the author, and gives many knew insights even to long time fans. I highly recommend it.

If you need reassurance that there are still people among uswho are committed to spiritual, moral, and ecological renewal, thenVoices of Hope is the perfect book for you. Hope and Young'sdescriptions of how activists around the world are living out theirFaith and their yearning for a better world gave me a strong sense ofenergy and hope; this book will surely provide sustenance to otherreaders who are trying to live their lives centered in Simplicity,Awareness and Love -- in a world that feels increasingly at odds withsuch endeavours.

Voices Of Hope In The Struggle To Save The Planet reveals the lives of individual men and women engaged presenting a renewed vision of our relationship to the earth, describing actions by faith-based environmental groups to nurture and protect the environment. Included are the lives and ideas of spiritual leaders and activists drawn from Judaism, Western and Eastern Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto, and the faiths of indigenous peoples. Each chapter includes a brief analysis of a particular faith's ecological teachings and description of the environmental problems of the country where a particular activist is living. Voices Of Hope In The Struggle To Save The Planet is compelling, informative, challenging, motivating, and very highly recommended reading for environmental studies, activists, policy makers, as well as the non-specialist general reader with an interest in religion and environmental issues.

I can summarize the value of this pocket book very easily: I tell my residents that if there is one book they read this year, this is it.

I also recommend this boook for surgical, family medicine, and anaesthesia residents because you encounter these common medical emergencies in your training.

I first started using this book under its old title when I was a medical student just starting on the wards. At that time, I was involved in handling emergencies, but it was the junior residents making most of the decisions. With this book in my coat pocket, however, I knew very quickly what was going on, and after seeing a few cases of DKA or MI's, I could answer the resident's questions about what to do next, step-by-step.

The book then got me through my internal medicine residency. Other books just did not tell me the things I needed to know. They went on too much with trivia and left the important stuff out.

Finally, when we did our orals for internal medicine at the end of our program, we used this book as the source for the right answer when the examiner gives you a case, of, say, DKA, and asks you how you would manage it. They do not want you to tell them the pathophysiology of DKA. They wanted to know what you would do step-by-step, and if you knew what issues would arise during treatment, and how you would handle them. This pocket manual gives you all that.

Fresh, appealing and warming to the heart. The combination of these two poets was a treat, to see their different styles in a little book --it worked very well.

Each of the little poems were delightful. Fine poetry that pleased and enlightened me. It has a quality that is cool, serene yet sweetly longing. Highly recommended for all those romantic souls out there.

This book certainly lives up to its name. It is, indeed, an "all-Canadian" guide to everything related to conception, pregnancy, and birth. The book is packed with all kinds of need-to-know information that American pregnancy books simply don't deliver, like the specifics on Canada's new extended parental leave benefits, detailed information on prenatal testing regimes in Canada (e.g., maternal serum screening), and directories of Canadian organizations, web sites, etc. The book was recommended to me by both my family doctor and my childbirth class instructor and I received two copies of this book from different friends the moment I announced my pregnancy. Clearly, I'm not the only one who likes this book!

As an expecting couple in canada this is the book to own. Its well written and gives you all the canadian facts. Our system and the american system are different and most books are geared to the american system leaving all the the hospital and ins information useless. This book has all the facts and more.
I highly recommend it to expecting canadian couples.

This is a painful book to read. These are stories of suffering and death which have been kept hidden. Usually the women were young, alone and desperately poor but also married women overwhelmed with poverty and babies felt they had to risk their lives seeking illegal abortions. Birth control was illegal in Canada until the 1960`s. Abortionists and others treated these women with contempt, sexually attacking them, exploiting their desperation financially, and submitting them to crude, dangerous and unsanitary procedures. Before we had antibiotics, many young girls died from infections, or bled to death alone and ashamed. The women telling these stories survived (it is unknown how many did not) and never talked about it. I recommend this book because we should become aware of the massive female suffering that took place in Canada and is still taking place all around the world.

It is difficult to read first-hand accounts of illegal abortions taking place in Canada in the decades between the 30's and 60's. From these stories it becomes clear that any woman, married or single, of any religious background, could find herself desperately needing to abort an unpreventable pregnancy. When having a baby was an absolute impossibility, these women had to risk their lives in horrible ways, pay whatever was demanded, suffer blame, contempt and sexual attacks from doctors and other abortionists. It was frightening to read about unsanitary, brutal and crude procedures when antibiotics were not yet available to prevent death from infections. In addition,they were in great danger of bleeding to death or poisoning themselves. At the same time, birth control was illegal and morally disapproved of. In Canada, providing birth control information was a criminal offence until 1969. There is a picture taken in a morgue of a small, dead, very young female (showing only her foot with a tag tied to a toe), which symbolizes for me the cruelty, torture and murder these illegal abortion stories reveal. God forbid that modern Canadian women should ever have to go back to being forced to seek abortions illegally.

You should situate the whole thing as far north as the Canadian Northern teritories.

The food preparations in the book are meant seriously........ There are still people living in this world that dont have a super market at every other corner........

I like to read cookery books, and I even found information on how to cook a polar bear in this book. It also tells how to prepare all kind of rodents, squirrels, black and grizzly bears, elk, whale , seal and lynx(bobcat), reindeer(sorry Santa).

What about Beaver in sour cream????????Or Stuffed Moose Heart?????? Or could I please You more with a muskrat meat loaf?????????Recipes for Acorn soup and pine tip tea (rich in vitamine C) are also found in the book.

Besides these - in our eyes strange -recipes it also tells how to bake a cake (with or without bear fat) or glaze carrots, and caloric values of stuff. Did you know that 1tbs of whale blubber contains 112 calories?

The book also neatly provides us with the official hunting regulations for the North West Territories. As a non resident You must pay $510 in stamp and Trophy fees for a polar bear, and you can only hunt them if they're not accompanied by young. Grizzly bears are cheaper

If you can lay your hands on a copy of this book, dont hesitate to buy it.

This is perhaps the best cookbook a Northerner could own. Yes, it does feature such delicacies as Jellied Moose Nose and Hawaiian Caribou Tongue, but it also contains a wealth of information on how to prepare northern fish, wild berries, tundra greens, and other local (and free) victuals.

An added bonus are the brilliant illustrations by James Simpkins.

If you ever find yourself living north of sixty, do yourself a favour: beg, borrow or steal a copy of the Northern Cookbook.

This is a most useful book and it is easy for the average cook to use. The recipes are understandable and easy to use. A fasicinating read and most interesting.

This was one of the finest cookbooks I have come across in years. Mr. Smiths mastery of maritime flavors quickly surfaces and he obviously has a highly refined and developed taste.

Thanks to these volumes I was able obtain a great of information on my French-Canadian ancestors corroborating material I had found before and filling some missing blanks.

"Our French-Canadian Ancestors" by Thomas J. Laforest is an excellent resource on the early French Canadian history. It includes genealogical information of the early settlers and a little about the lifestyle of about 20 different families. It's got a great historical reference about the King's Daughters. I was fortunate enough to find many connecting links to a family tree of my ancestors. Excellent resource to begin a collection of French Canadian information.
