Ice War Diplomat
                                       Behind the Scenes at the 1972 Summit Series

                                                          GARY J. SMITH

Marking the 50th anniversary of the historic Summit Series, here is the
incredible story of an unlikely political stage—the hockey rink—where a
Cold War, and the threat of nuclear annihilation, is no less important than
a power play in the final minute. Discover a diplomacy mission like no other:
caught between capitalism and communism, Canada and the Soviet Union,
young Canadian diplomat Gary J. Smith must navigate the rink, melting the
ice between two nations skating a dangerous path.

Tasked with finding common ground and building friendships
between the world’s two largest countries and arctic neighbours,
a young Canadian diplomat finds himself on his first overseas
assignment in Moscow, the Soviet capital. It’s the early 1970s and a
Cold War between communism and capitalism, the west and the east,
is simmering—while the ice rink is just starting to heat up. Trained
in Russian and deployed by Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau’s détente policy, Smith opts for sports diplomacy, throwing
off his embassy black tie dress codes and donning the blue and white
sweater of the Moscow Maple Leafs.
      Armed with cases of Molson, Smith sets forth into Russian beer
league hockey. A vodka-infused encounter with the influential Izvestia
journalist “The Snowman” leads him into the murky world of Soviet
hockey officialdom, the KGB and the decision that USSR “amateurs” were
finally ready to play Canadian professionals in an eight-game Friendship
Series of the best versus the best.

                                           Stories from Chinese Restaurants Around the World

                                                             CHEUK KWAN

    From Haifa, Israel, to Cape Town, South Africa, Chinese entrepreneurs
    and restaurateurs have brought delicious Chinese food across the globe.
    Unravelling a complex history of cultural migration and world politics,
    Cheuk Kwan narrates a fascinating story of culture and place, ultimately
    revealing how an excellent meal always tells an even better story.

    Dotting even the most remote landscapes, family-run Chinese
    restaurants are global icons of immigration, community and delicious
    food. The cultural outposts of far-flung settlers, bringers of dim sum,
    Peking duck and creative culinary hybrids like the Madagascar classic
    soupe chinoise, Chinese restaurants are a microcosm of greater social
    forces—an insight into time, history and place. From Africa to South
    America, the Jade Gardens and Golden Dragons reveal an intricate
    tangle of social schisms and political movements, offering insight into
    global changes and diasporic histories, as the world has moved into
    the 21st century.                                                            Photo by Cedric Sam
         Author and documentarian Cheuk Kwan, a self-described “card-
    carrying member of the Chinese diaspora,” weaves a global narrative by
    linking the myriad personal stories of chefs, entrepreneurs, labourers
    and dreamers who populate Chinese kitchens worldwide. Behind these
    kitchen doors lies an intriguing paradox which characterizes many of
    these communities: how Chinese immigrants have resisted—or often
    been prevented from—complete assimilation into the social fabric of
    their new homes, maintaining strong senses of cultural identity, while
    the engine of their economic survival—the Chinese restaurant and its                   CULINARY

PRISCILLA TEMPEST MYSTERY SERIES

                                                Death at the Savoy
                                               A Priscilla Tempest Mystery, Book 1

                                                 PRUDENCE EMERY AND RON BASE

    An atmospheric, entertaining new mystery series introducing a plucky
    Canadian heroine and set in the world’s most famous hotel.

    It’s 1968. London is in full swing and the Savoy Hotel is at the height
    of its legendary glitz and glamour, welcoming the rich, famous and
    aristocratic into its rarified world of perfection. Elizabeth Taylor and
    Richard Burton are squabbling in the American Bar while Noël Coward
    drinks champagne. Royals wait upstairs in luxurious suites for discreet
    encounters. In short, all is as it should be at the Savoy.
          If only it weren’t for the dead body in River Suite 610.
          Could it be murder at the Savoy? Impossible! Who could have
    done such a thing?
          Suspicion falls upon Priscilla Tempest, the quick-witted Canadian
    head of the Savoy press office who has a penchant for champagne, the
    wrong sort of men—and trouble.
          When it is discovered that Priscilla had been with the deceased—a
    notorious international arms dealer—the night before he was found
    dead, she is questioned by Scotland Yard Inspector Robert “Charger”
    Lightfoot and is suddenly under the unforgiving eye of her boss, the
    Savoy’s straitlaced general manager, Clive Banville. Her job on the          Photo by Gail Harvey
    line, her life in danger, Priscilla must elude the police and the general
    manager’s duplicitous wife, ward off the amorous advances of a famous
    drunken actor, and discover whether that really was a member of the
    royal family seen leaving the victim’s suite shortly before his body
    was discovered.                                                                           FICTION

DOCTOR ANNICK BOUDREAU MYSTERY SERIES

                                                  Noonday Dark
                                       A Doctor Annick Boudreau Mystery, Book 2

                                                       CHARLES DEMERS

An exciting second installment in the Doctor Annick Boudreau Mystery
Series, the endearing and unflappable Dr. Boudreau returns in this complex
and nuanced portrait of psychology and a city.

When Dr. Boudreau is contacted by the Vancouver Police and informed
that her patient Danielle has been reported missing and there’s a suicide
note, Dr. Boudreau is shaken. Danielle, who was being treated for a
major depressive episode, had been doing well—talking about her new
relationship and the contract she just completed as a speechwriter for a
bike-riding politician’s successful mayoral campaign.
      Dr. Boudreau is, once again, on a mission to discover what really
happened and joins forces with Danielle’s estranged father Ivor, a
former radical journalist turned right-wing blogger. Along the way, the
realpolitik is illuminated in a clash over the Knight Street trucking route,
protected by the Satan’s Hammer Motorcycle Club, who have a strong
presence on the waterfront and refuse to relinquish the port traffic
to the suburbs.
      Discover the clash and charisma of a city embroiled in politics
in this twisting and turning story. Charles Demers renders a divisive
cityscape entangled in questions of ownership and change—who owns
the city and who has the right to change it—with humour, edge and
compassion, revealing the intricacies of a metropolis on the verge of
myriad transformations.

A Garden for the Rusty-Patched Bumblebee
                                       Creating Habitat for Native Pollinators in Southern Ontario

                         LORRAINE JOHNSON AND SHEILA COLLA, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY ANN SANDERSON

    Support biodiversity with this practical guide to creating habitat gardens for
    native pollinators in Southern Ontario.

    Saving the bees is an environmental cause that resonates deeply
    with Canadians. While much of the popular focus is on honeybees,
    an introduced species, many people are largely unaware of the
    importance of native bees. These pollinators are of crucial importance
    and are threatened by climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation,
    and disease and competition from non-native species and modern
    intensive agriculture.
         A Garden for the Rusty-Patched Bumblebee provides all the
    information needed for gardeners to take action to support and protect
    pollinators—by creating habitat in yards and communal spaces, and on
    balconies and rooftops.
         There are approximately 400 species of native bees in Ontario,
    including bumblebees, sweat bees, mining bees, cuckoo bees, leafcutter
    bees and cellophane bees. This book introduces and deepens the
    concept of pollinator gardening—creating gardens that help bees
    thrive—by exploring specialist relationships. For example, the native-to-
    Ontario sweat bee Lasioglossum oenotherae specializes in pollen from the
    native evening primrose plant.
         With plant recommendations specific to Southern Ontario, as
    well as useful garden designs and numerous tips for success, this
    compact, full-colour guide will enable gardeners to discover the crucial
    connections between native plants and native pollinators—and learn                          GARDENING

                                           Guujaaw and the Reawakening of the Haida Nation

                                                               IAN GILL

    An important volume documenting the struggles of the Haida People and
    their fight for self-determination, now available in paperback.

    Haida Gwaii is Canada’s Galapagos, a West Coast archipelago famous
    for its wild beauty. It is also the ancient homeland of the Haida Nation.
    In the 1970s the Haida joined forces with environmentalists in a high-
    profile struggle to save the islands after decades of rapacious logging.
    The battle found powerful expression through Gidansda Giindajin
    Haawasti Guujaaw, the visionary artist, drummer and orator who would
    later become president of the Council of the Haida Nation.
          The victories over logging interests are just one highlight in the
    Haida’s epic, decades-long struggle to take back control of their own
    destiny. In 2004, they filed suit against British Columbia and Canada,
    laying claim to their entire traditional territory. Combining first-person
    accounts with vivid prose, Ian Gill captures the excitement of their
    struggle, from high-octane logging blockades to defiant legal challenges.
    Guujaaw’s audacity, eloquence, tactical skills and deep knowledge of his
    homeland put him at the heart of the struggle, and this book reveals the
    extraordinary role he played in this incredible story.
          In chronicling the Haida’s political and cultural renaissance, Gill
    has crafted a gripping, multilayered narrative that has reverberated far
    beyond the shores of Haida Gwaii.

Commerce meets conquest in this swashbuckling story of the six merchant-
adventurers who built the modern world.

It was an era when monopoly trading companies were the unofficial
agents of European expansion, controlling vast numbers of people
and huge tracts of land, and taking on governmental and military
functions. They managed their territories as business interests, treating
their subjects as employees, customers or competitors. The leaders of
these trading enterprises exercised virtually unaccountable, dictatorial
political power over millions of people.
      The merchant kings of the Age of Heroic Commerce were a
rogues’ gallery of larger-than-life men who, for a couple hundred years,
expanded their far-flung commercial enterprises over a sizable portion
of the world. They include Jan Pieterszoon Coen, the violent and
autocratic pioneer of the Dutch East India Company; Pieter Stuyvesant,
the one-legged governor of the Dutch West India Company, whose
narrow-minded approach lost Manhattan to the British; Robert Clive,
who rose from company clerk to become head of the English East India
Company and one of the wealthiest men in Britain; Aleksandr Baranov
of the Russian American Company; Cecil John Rhodes of the British
South Africa Company and founder of De Beers and Rhodesia; and Sir
George Simpson, the “Little Emperor” of the Hudson’s Bay Company,
who was chauffeured about his vast fur domain in a giant canoe,
exhorting his voyageurs to paddle harder so he could set speed records.

Richard Wagamese Selected
                                                 What Comes from Spirit
RECENT

                           RICHARD WAGAMESE, EDITED BY DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR,
                             WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR

              Richard Wagamese, one of Canada’s most celebrated Indigenous authors and
              storytellers, was a writer of breathtaking honesty and inspiration. Always striving to be
              a better, stronger person, Wagamese shared his journey through writing, encouraging
              others to do the same.
                     Following the success of Embers, which has sold almost 70,000 copies since
              its release in 2016, this new collection of Wagamese’s non-fiction works, with an
              introduction by editor Drew Hayden Taylor, brings together more of the prolific
              author’s short writings, many for the first time in print, and celebrates his ability to
              inspire. Drawing from Wagamese’s essays and columns, along with preserved social
              media and blog posts, this beautifully designed volume is a tribute to Wagamese’s
              literary legacy.

                               Canadian Doctors at the Front of the COVID-19 Fight
                                                    IAN HANOMANSING
              Canadians who have followed the news about the COVID-19 pandemic will recognize
              the names of doctors Lisa Barrett, Isaac Bogoch, Zain Chagla, Sumon Chakrabarti, Susy
              Hota, Fatima Kakkar, Srinivas Murthy, Lynora Saxinger and Alexander Wong—nine
              remarkable Canadians who found themselves in the spotlight during a remarkably
              challenging year.
                     While dealing with their own personal concerns about the worsening pandemic
              and their busy medical practices, the doctors profiled in Pandemic Spotlight volunteered
              their time and offered their expertise in hundreds of media interviews, providing calm,
              clear and independent analysis.
                     The doctors discuss the moment the pandemic became very real to them and
              speak candidly about what it was like when infections raged out of control in Italy
              and then New York City, leaving doctors at Canadian hospitals to wonder what might
              be next. They explain the sense of duty they felt to step into the media glare, even as
              public anxiety and skepticism sometimes turned into hostility and social media made
              them easy to contact and, sometimes, easy targets. And for anyone who’s been asked to
              offer their expertise to the media, they have advice on how to answer the call.
                     There are a few silver linings in the COVID storm. One of them is how these
              doctors put science front and centre and became public symbols of trust and hope.
              As they prepare to return to their private careers, they respond to Hanomansing’s
              invitation to reflect on lessons learned and their concerns about the next pandemic.

                                          A Memoir
                                        JANE MUNRO
Open Every Window is a genre-bending prose account of the unravelling of a life—two
lives—when Jane Munro’s husband, Bob, is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Evoking Joan
Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, this memoir charts a path through sorrow—the
pain of seeing a partner age and approach death, the exhaustion of caretaking and the
regret in watching life’s scope narrow and diminish.
      Writing with courage and love, Munro grapples with what it means to care for
a husband who is gradually but devastatingly deteriorating while her own identity is
eclipsed by a single word—caregiver. Even a doctor admonishes, “What job could be
more important than caring for your husband?”
      In this portrait of the myriad lives contained in a single life, Munro ultimately
finds respite in the power of writing, Iyengar yoga and in the rhythms of the moon—
not to heal but to face grief without breaking.
      A poignant evocation for anyone who has experienced loss, Open Every Window
reveals the pain and power inherent in loving and being loved. Framed with short
observations of the moon—from a New Moon in Pune, India, to the following New
Moon in Vancouver, Canada—this memoir will entrance with its lyricism and comfort,
and with the writer’s hard-won warmth and wisdom.

Vagabond
                                  Venice Beach, Slab City and Points In Between
RECENT

                                                    CEILIDH MICHELLE
              At twenty-one, Ceilidh Michelle was homeless, drifting through countercultural
              communities along California’s coast, from Venice Beach to Slab City to Big Sur. This
              restless and turbulent time began when she was sleeping on her sister’s couch in
              Vancouver and decided to become a yoga disciple in California. Denied entry at the US
              border in Washington state and stuck overnight in the Greyhound station, her already
              shaky pilgrimage began to take another direction, away from the inward sanctuary of
              an ashram and toward the sea and light and noise of Venice Beach, and eventually up
              Highway 1 to the desert.
                     Having spent much of her youth outrunning family turmoil, the peripatetic
              lifestyle once key to Michelle’s survival is now a habit she can’t or won’t break—unless
              it breaks her first. Sleeping in parking lots, camping out in abandoned beach cottages
              and mansions, she finds community, easy and fraught, with fellow travellers: musicians,
              veterans, ex-cons, addicts, drug dealers, artists and con artists. Still, dreams and
              fleeting notions of home fuel and shadow every encounter, haunting the places she
              stays, offering moments of both grace and violence.
                     Told with deadpan humour and insightful lyricism, Vagabond is an observant
              and at times shimmering narrative suspended between a traumatic past and an as
              yet unimagined future. Coursing through it is the story of an emergent writer just
              beginning to find sanctuary in her own creative instincts.

                                                     MICHAEL AUDAIN
              Freedom rider. Student radical. Academic. Social activist. Residential developer.
              Museum builder. Grizzly bear protector. Michael Audain has been all of these things
              and more in a colourful life spanning eight decades, three continents and five careers.
              Born into a branch of the legendary BC Dunsmuir clan that had lost its wealth and
              social status, little was expected of Audain. A lonely teenager plagued by insecurities,
              he was a dismal failure in the classroom and on the playing field. Yet Audain would
              become one of the most prominent home builders in British Columbia and a well-
              known philanthropist in support of the visual arts and wildlife causes.
                     Along the way, Audain did time in a Mississippi prison for participating in the
              Freedom Rider movement. He started the Nuclear Disarmament Club at the University
              of British Columbia and was a founder of the BC Civil Liberties Association. He
              advocated for the radical Sons of Freedom Doukhobor sect on their protest march
              from the Kootenays to Vancouver. Audain worked for an airline in the Arctic, became
              a probation officer and a farm appraiser, was detained in Ireland under suspicion of
              terrorism, and sought wisdom from a Buddhist monk in Thailand. In 1980, he took the
              most unexpected turn of all and became a developer in Greater Vancouver’s volatile
              housing market. As chairman of Polygon Homes Ltd., he has been responsible for the
              construction of over 30,000 homes.
                    “My life never had a business plan,” muses Audain. One Man in His Time… is
              a story of life’s unplanned twists and turns, victories and defeats, recounted with
              characteristic wit and candour. It is a tale of adventure and perseverance that will
              inspire many seeking to find their place in the world.

                                         RALPH MILTON
Author Ralph Milton wants readers to know that old age is not a disease circling
 the world ready to pounce on anyone over eighty. Many, maybe even most old people
say they are happier and more contented than they have ever been. And that’s good
 news because Canadians are living much, much longer than they used to. In fact,
octogenarians are the country’s fastest growing demographic. To quote the author,
“Society has never had to deal with such a huge bunch of old people.”
       To address this societal shift, Well Aged offers a candid, useful and entertaining
 insider’s take on life among the old-old. Not the recently retired who are enjoying
Arizona winters and unlimited golf, but those in their last years, usually in the eighty-
 to one-hundred-year-old bracket. While there is good material about old age written
 by healthcare professionals for other professionals, and popular non-fiction to inspire
 the recently retired, there is virtually nothing written at the non-professional level for
 the oldest of the old. Or for their families and caregivers. This book is a freewheeling,
down-to-earth inside look at what it’s really like to be old, written by someone living
 the experience and sprinkled liberally with humour.
       When the situation of elderly Canadians does get public attention, as it
 has during the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus is on what can go wrong. Well Aged
expands the conversation around aging, and it is a must-read for anyone who needs
 to put out their birthday cake with a fire extinguisher—as well as those who love
 and care for them.

                                             Gidal
               The Unusual Friendship of Yosef Wosk and Tim Gidal
                                  EDITED BY ALAN TWIGG
 Nachum Tim Gidal, Jewish pioneer of modern photojournalism, was born in Munich in
1909 and died in Jerusalem in 1996. He began taking photographs in the late 1920s, at
 a time when technological advances made photography equipment more compact and
 affordable than ever before. With his handheld Leica, Gidal was able to travel in interwar
 Europe, capturing rare images of Polish Jews prior to the annihilation of World War II.
       Yosef Wosk is a rabbi, philanthropist, educator, author, scholar, community
 leader and prominent figure in the BC arts scene. Wosk first encountered Gidal’s
 work in the photo “Night of the Kabbalist” in a magazine in 1991 and, captivated, was
determined to meet the photographer on an upcoming sabbatical in Israel. However,
 most of the trip passed without any signs that his search would be successful. One
day, Wosk saw a small poster on a lamppost showcasing Israeli photography in a local
 gallery, and through the proprietor, finally met the person who he would later consider
 his close friend, teacher and confidant—Nachum Tim Gidal.
       On one level, the letters—selected from the hundreds the correspondents
exchanged over two decades—memorialize Gidal as an artist, scholar, historian of
 photography and “hero among the Jewish people.” However, they also capture the
essence of Gidal and Wosk’s friendship. Readers will be drawn into a rich conversation
 touching on philosophy, advice, personal issues, reading recommendations and more,
 with Gidal always brilliant, witty and cantankerous and Wosk curious, appreciative
 and intelligent. This fascinating and beautifully designed volume will appeal to those
 with an interest in modern Jewish history as well as anyone interested in early 20th-
century photography.

The Marriage of Rose Camilleri
                                                        ROBERT HOUGH
RECENT

              When Rose Camilleri and Scotty Larkin meet, neither expects to spend a lifetime
              together, navigating a sometimes turbulent marriage and scraping through the process
              of raising a family. When he first enters the bakery where she works, she is a new
              arrival from the tiny island nation of Malta, fond of rabbit stew and Hollywood cinema.
              He is a thoughtful printer’s assistant recently released from juvenile detention after
              stealing and swiftly totalling a stranger’s car. Even after years of marriage and two
              children together, Rose struggles to shake the idea that perhaps she should have held
              out for someone as voluble and optimistic as herself. But while some marriages are
              weakened by trauma, Rose and Scotty’s union is strengthened by the act of survival,
              and they find their own kind of happiness along the way.
                     In The Marriage of Rose Camilleri, Robert Hough writes his larger-than-life
              characters with warmth, insight and humour, displaying the masterful approach to
              storytelling that gained his previous novels acclaim and several prestigious award
              nominations. Hough transports the reader into the epicentre of an unconventional
              love story, where he draws out captivating details from the fabric of an ordinary shared
              lifetime to create a story that lives in the moment and takes seriously the small but
              vital details of everyday life.

                     Alcohol is once again legal in Vancouver after the failed experiment of
              prohibition, but pro-temperance sentiments remain strong. Politicians like Attorney
              General Gordon Cunning attempt appeasement by establishing the Liquor Control
              Board, which oversees supply—from the lofty circles of power down to bleak public
              drinking factories called “beer parlours.”
                     But when Cunning is found deceased with an empty martini glass at his side, and
              he is quickly followed by Mrs. Harlan Crombie, the wife of a prominent bureaucrat,
              who falls dead after an afternoon book club meeting, suspicions are raised. Is it pure
              coincidence that the deceased were both drinking the same brand of “tonic”? Or
              is this a spillover from American prohibition, where deliberately tainted booze is
              killing thousands?
                     Fans of The White Angel will be delighted by the return of straight-shooting
              constable Calvin Hook, frustrated poet-cum-reporter Ed McCurdy and unpredictable,
              eavesdropping telephone operator Mildred Wickstram, as they pool their skills in order
              to get to the truth.
                     The result is a clash between temperance activists, the Ku Klux Klan, the Liquor
              Control Board and global events on the mean streets of Vancouver—a rough little city
              on the edge of empire.

After all the campers and hikers return to the city at the end of summer, a group of animals from
the forest decide to pay them a visit. When Raccoon, Moose, Bear, Otter and their friends arrive in
the big city, everyone is so excited to see them that they shout and run away with joy. The animals
have a fun-filled day rampaging through the city and learning about human customs, until some
new friends with large nets give them a ride back home.
      Featuring humorous and charming illustrations, City Day will make young readers
laugh while educating them about the importance of treating animals’ wilderness home with
care and respect.

                       An Epic Family Journey to the Heart of the Himalaya
                                                  BRUCE KIRKBY
Feeling stagnant, looking mindlessly at his phone for hours, flipping between emails and social
media, ignoring his family and everything alive in his world, a thought struck Bruce Kirkby: this
wasn’t living. This moment of clarity started a chain reaction: he, his wife and their two young
sons would head for the Himalaya. To help with the financial logistics, they would document the
adventure for the reality travel series Big Crazy Family Adventure. And so, trailed by a camera crew,
Bruce, Christine, seven-year-old Bodi and three-year-old Taj travelled across the globe in search
of tranquility and connection—culminating in three months of reflection and meditation at a
Buddhist monastery in the Zanskar valley, a remote appendage of the ancient Tibetan empire and
one of the last places on earth where Tibetan Buddhism is still practised freely in its original setting.
      With wit, insight and deep compassion, Kirkby tells a story that will deeply affect readers—
all the while providing a glimpse into the lives of Buddhist monks and lamas in Ladakh, India,
where ancient traditions and knowledge intersect with the modern world.

                                                    How to Lose Everything
RECENT

                                                                      A Memoir
                                                               CHRISTA COUTURE
              Christa Couture lost a piece of herself—in more ways than one. She lost a leg to amputation
              from childhood bone cancer. She lost a son to complications at birth. She lost another son to a
              heart defect. She lost a husband to divorce. Each of these losses has left her altered. In her debut
              memoir, Couture relives these tragedies alongside the joys that fill the spaces in between. With
              a quiet wisdom, she explores how trauma will at once harden and soften a person. Evoking Joan
              Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking and Rachel Cusk’s A Life’s Work, How to Lose Everything
              reflects on the emotional and psychological experiences of motherhood, partnership and change.
                        Couture’s story is an offering of kinship to anyone touched by loss, be that the loss of a
              physical ability, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or the loss of one’s sense of self.
              With gentleness and generosity, How to Lose Everything bears witness to the shift in perspective that
              comes with grief, and how it can deepen compassion for others, expand understanding, inspire a
              letting go of little things and plant a deeper feeling for what matters.

                                            Canada’s Final Campaign in World War II Italy

              The Canadians called it the Promised Land. In late September 1944, the Emilia-Romagna plain
              before I Canadian Corps stretched to the far horizon. Throughout British Eighth Army, hopes ran
              high that once it entered the plain, the Germans could be driven from Italy. As soon as the advance
              began, however, the plain’s true nature was revealed: the land was criss-crossed by rivers, canals
              and drainage ditches over which all bridges had been demolished. With higher command urging
              haste, the Canadians entered a long and nightmarish series of battles to win crossings over each
              waterway, whose high banks provided the Germans with perfect defensive positions. Early fall
              rains caused rivers to spill their banks and transformed the countryside into the worst quagmire
              the soldiers had ever seen. More than five months of battle followed; each month, conditions
              only worsened. Most soldiers sought merely to survive. Doing that much required every measure
              of stamina, courage and fighting skill they possessed. The fifth and final Canadian Battle Series
              volume set in Italy, The River Battles tells the story of this campaign’s last and hardest months.

                                                               Biography of a City

              In the last seventy years, Toronto has been transformed from a provincial town to a significant
              urban heavyweight. Few cities have experienced such sustained growth, and the packed streets of
              North America’s fourth-largest city are a far cry from the origins of the city as “Little York,” which
              was comprised of the Lieutenant-Governor’s muddy tent and some barracks.
                        Levine’s captivating prose integrates the sights, sounds and feel of Toronto with a broad
              historical perspective, linking the city’s present with its past through themes such as politics,
              transportation, public health, ethnic diversity and sports. Toronto invites readers to discover the
              city’s lively spirit over four centuries and to wander purposefully through the city’s many unique
              neighbourhoods, where they can encounter the striking and peculiar characters who have inhabited
              them: the powerful and powerless, the entrepreneurs and the entertainers, and the moral and the
              corrupt, all of whom have contributed to Toronto’s collective identity.
