A good addition to any kitchen. Good recipes with clear instructions for the novice cook. Well worth the purchase price. This is one cookbook that deserves to have stains on the most loved recipes!

I enjoyed all the short stories in this book, but my all-time favorite was the one written by Sandra Birdsell. She grabbed me with the first paragraph and she took me along for an adventure I'll not soon forget; Birdsell is an amazing writer. Overall, this book is a pleasure to read and I recommend it highly.

I have used this book for several years as a text in Composition classes. I even used it in writing classes in Africa. It's a "multicultural" text. The wonderful choices (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama) show that no matter who you are, you can use the powerful tool of the English language to write about your own experiences. Seems obvious, but perhaps not. Great writing suggestions, too, just about a perfect book. It's too expensive, of course. But in the end, worth it. I wish they'd come out with a third edition!

If you are a fan of the Canadian Pacific, you must own this book! Nicholas Morant set the standard for rail photography. Here is an incredible collection of photos covering half a century on the world's most scenic railroad. Tremendous history. Worth every penny!

This is a comprehensive trail guide for the serious hiker/backpacker. Along with its companion "94 Hikes in the Northern Canadian Rockies" hundreds of miles of hiking trails are described in detail. A black & white photo accompanies each hike along with vital statistics eg. distance, time, elevation gain, etc. Not fancy but essential; without it I feel lost.

Fascinating collection of interviews/chats/discussions with authors. Not all are really famous, I would say, but all were very interesting to read about, including such names as WP Kinsella I had not thought of as being part of these fields of SF/F prior to reading this book. Well done!

I have been a long time fan of horror story anthologies and have been extremely disappointed for many years. I have finally found one to treasure and am looking forward to enjoying the other Northern Fright anthologies. I particularly enjoyed Wild Things and Snow Angel

This book is a prize. As As an American (or as I've heard Canadians say it, "United Stateser") who has only recently started to explore science fiction written by Australians, Canadians, etc., it is refreshing to encounter the subtle difference in viewpoint that suffuses these stories.

Not to mention that they are great stories, well-written, varied and imaginative.

This sun really brightens the horizon. I'm really excited to have a whole new body of world literature to explore.

Northern Voices, now in paperback, offers an multi-dimensional perspective of Inuit culture. The literature comes from various places in the Canadian Arctic and from different times, before contact to the present. The genres are as diverse as the historical representation. There are selections of stories that have been passed on for generations in the oral tradition. Other selections are of poetry, diary entries, short narratives and excerpts from longer works. Taken as an entirety, however, the work can be studied from colonial and post-colonial, gender, and ethnographic perspectives. Essential reading for Canadian and Northern Studies as well as Canadian Literature.
