Excellent first book for anyone interested in the Klondike gold rush. Provides accurate overview of the events that made this such an important event in history.

For the reader already generally familiar with the Klondike gold rush, a good second book is the one written Tappan Adney; that book provides excellent details about everything imagineable.

I'm a bit biased, since my mother is Canadian and we have Cree blood, but overall this book is one of the best linguistics books I've read in a long time. The book gives the history of the "impossible language" (as quoted from the book) that formed from French and aboriginal Canadian languages. The book isn't written only for expert linguists, so anyone can understand the book. Some parts may be difficult for beginners, but those problems are easily solved.

For anyone interested in learning about a language that most of the world doesn't understand, this book is a gem. It won't teach you the language, but it will definitely help you respect and love what might be an ancestral language for you.

Larry Walker has a great batting average over his career. I was surprised to learn that he was a hockey player too. The book has a lot of fun facts. I really enjoyed reading about this Canadian Rocky.

This anthology of Western Canadian writing is the definitive pathway to understanding why Canadian short story writers are the most gifted writers in the world. Last Map takes the reader beyond this known hype into the most avant-garde fiction in contemporary literature. If you missed the Hale-Bop comet, there's still hope for you to discover something you didn't know existed.

In this stunning book, Freeman Patterson creates stunning images and imaginative uses of the photographic medium.

For anyone interested in the history of the RCMP, this book is fantastic. The RCMP made a name for itself in the Yukon during the gold rush, and has grown to become part of Yukon society. All aspects of the force are examined in this book, and the pictures are great.

What can really be said about poetry? Not too much, I don't think. Whether a poem is good or bad doesn't depend on its form or its subject -- it depends on its author and its resonance with the reader. As for the first, Candas Jane Dorsey writes poetry the way she writes science fiction (A Paradigm of Earth) and fantasy (Black Wine): well. Very well. As for the second, resonance is subjective, but this collection is well worth the risk.

The author clearly shows how determined and well-led soldiers could achieve the goals set for them. Although Dancocks does not enter the into the wider strategic issues, he demonstrates that the Allies could win tactical victories, which is what Liddell Hart and others have denied since the war. The battle was costly to the Canadians, but it was a victory and the Germans suffered much more than their attackers.

Have you have ever wondered what it would be like to know absolutely whether someone is lying or not? Mr. Stark does a masterful job at answering this question...and more. The gift to humanity - a fool proof lie detector the size of a wrist watch. The catch - small packages do not always contain good things as illustrated by the disturbing results of Mr. Stark's gift to the World come to fruition. His insight into the human psyche, realities, consequences and ultimate mayhem caused by this seemingly harmless little device is frightening. This is truly a testimony to excellent research in fiction writing. Stark reminds us that we have the technology...but are we ready for it? Can we handle...THE TRUTH!

Hugh MacLennan's Watch that Ends the Night is an engrossing read, as it is able to throttle the reader onto stage of 1930s world poltics gently back to the private lives of George Stewart and Katherine. An incredible story that details the struggle of the human condition against the strength of one's emottional desires. This is a beautifully written book about waiting; a generation's wait to leave the horrors of the 1930s, and one couple's wait for an inevitable though beautiful death. I greatly reccommend this book.
