What, then, is time? If no one ask of me, I know, St. Augustine of Hippo lamented. But if I wish to explain to him who asks, I know not. Who wouldnt sympathize with Augustines dilemma? Time is at once intimately familiar and yet deeply mysterious. It is thoroughly intangible: We say it flows like a river yet when we try to examine that flow, the river seems reduced to a mirage. No wonder philosophers, poets, and scientists have grappled with the idea of time for centuries. The enigma of time has captivated science journalist Dan Falk, who sets off on an intellectual journey In Search of Time. The quest takes him from the ancient observatories of stone-age Ireland and England to the atomic clocks of the US Naval Observatory; from the layers of geological deep time in an Arizona canyon to Albert Einsteins apartment in Switzerland. Along the way he talks to scientists and scholars from California to New York, from Toronto to Oxford. He speaks with anthropologists and historians about our deep desire to track times cycles; he talks to psychologists and neuroscientists about the mysteries of memory; he quizzes astronomers about the beginning and end of time. Not to mention our latest theories about time travel and the paradoxes it seems to entail. We meet great minds from Aristotle to Kant, from Newton to Einstein and we hear from todays most profound thinkers: Roger Penrose, Paul Davies, Julian Barbour, David Deutsch, Lee Smolin, and many more. As usual, Dan Falks style combines exhaustive research with a lively, accessible, and often humorous style, making In Search of Time a delightful tour through a most curious dimension.  Dan Falk has written about science for The Globe and Mail, the National Post, The Walrus, and New Scientist, and has been a regular contributor to the CBC Radio programs Ideas and Quirks and Quarks. He is the winner of the 2002 Canadian Science Writers Association Science in Society Journalism Award, the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia Margaret and John Savage First Book Award, and the 1999 American Institute of Physics Science Writing Award in Physics and Astronomy. He lives in Toronto. Publications: Universe on a T-Shirt: The Quest for the Theory of Everything (2002) English Canada (Penguin Books); French (Fides); Hebrew (Kinneret); Japanese (Seidosha); Korean (Whistler); Portuguese (Editora Globo); US (Arcade Publishing). Praise for Dan Falk: Dan Falk is a riveting writer: his latest book is almost unputdownable. He covers an eclectic range of fascinating topicsfrom prehistory to the far future. Time is a mysterious commodity: we gain, spend, save and lose it. But everyone should make enough time to read In Search of Time. Martin J. Rees, author of Just Six Numbers and Our Final Hour Falks prose is familiar and clear. . . The author has a knack for popularizing modern physics. Publishers Weekly Falk makes the history of Western science seem fresh and new, and the mysteries of modern physics remarkably accessible. With humor, brevity, and clarity . . . the author brings history and personalities to life. School Library Journal Excerpt: Anthropologists suspect that even the earliest members of the hominid family had some sort of temporal awareness, long before our own species Homo sapiens emerged as the dominant creature on our planet. Those early members of the human family, living several million years ago, probably had a rudimentary conception of time similar to our own, argues John Shea of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. They had an understanding of the past, an understanding of the future and the ability to perceive the future in terms of contingencies, in terms of if this, then that will happen. Shea didnt use the word consciousness the word still carries a lot of baggage in many different scientific disciplines but it seems reasonable to say that a creature that is conscious of itself and its environment would also have at least a rudimentary awareness of time. Those early hominids had no clocks, no calendars, and no appointments but, Shea says, they had enough of an awareness of past and future to live in co-operative social groups and to hunt large animals across a harsh and varied landscape. They could learn from the past and try to predict future events; they could mentally sort through different courses of action and imagine what kinds of results they would produce.

Thousands of boys dream of become firefighters some get the chance, and for some of those, the dream becomes a nightmare. Burning Down the House is the story of Wangerskys eight-year career as a volunteer firefighter, an experience that wound up reaching into every facet of his life and changed the way he saw the world forever. Written in vibrant, luminous prose, the book traces his years from rookie to veteran firefighter and the toll it took on his personal life. Offering a rare glimpse into physical dangers and psychological costs of trying to save strangers lives, Wangersky paints a harrowing and sometimes heartbreakingly vivid portrait of the fires, medical calls and automobile accidents that are the standard fare of the profession. Visceral and affecting, Burning Down the House is an insightful insiders account of the perilous world of firefighting and an unforgettable memoir of how, in finding his passion, Wangersky lost himself.  Russell Wangersky is a writer whose first collection of short stories, The Hour of Bad Decisions, was nominated for numerous awards including, most notably, the longlist for the 2006 Scotiabank Giller Prize and the shortlist for the 2006 Commonwealth Writers Prize. The editor of the St. Johns Telegram in Newfoundland, his columns and editorials appear in newspapers across Canada. Publications: The Hour of Bad Decisions (2006) (Coteau Books) Advance Praise for Burning Down the House: Keen-eyed and unaffected, Wangersky delivers an astonishingly precise memoir of firefighting, and the fires that boil in men. Michael Winter, author of The Architects Are Here Russell Wangerskys Burning Down the House deals with horror and its aftermath, the nature of suffering and coming through. Here is a haunting, shockingly honest and harrowing memoir about firefighting, unflinching and gorgeously written. Profoundly brave. Lisa Moore, author of Alligator A dramatic and emotionally honest look at the perilous trade of firefighting. Engrossing and highly entertaining. Kenneth J. Harvey, author of Inside What Russell Wangersky has done with Burning Down the House is to show us where a childs earliest dreams end uptoo often, in this case, as recurring nightmares. It is a deeply personal tale powerfully told. You will never take life and luck for granted again. Roy MacGregor, author of Canadians Russell Wangersky is an exceptional writer. Painfully observant, compassionate, and exacting, Burning Down The House is a powerful account of the damage done to Canadas most trusted citizens, our volunteer firefighters.... Elizabeth Bachinsky, nominated for the Governor Generals Award for Poetry 2006 Praise for The Hour of Bad Decisions: ...beautifully crafted stories, clean and metaphorically rich, Commonwealth Writers Prize jury Its as if the wickedly observant Alice Munro and the bawdy Al Purdy had produced a love child, by way of a gritty newsroom...

This book is about you. You and colour are linked in ways that we havent imagined. Beware: after reading this book you will never look at colour the same way again. This book is for anyone who comes home to a room that needs a fix but hasnt the nerve to buy a gallon of striking colour to make it work. It is for anyone who lives in a perfectly nice place that still doesnt feel like home because they havent expressed themselves there yet. It is for those who spend their days in buildings that sap their best energy and want to find out if being surrounded by good colour and design might actually make them want to get up and go to work or to school each morning. It is for anyone who loves colour or thinks they might if they could just figure out how it works. In this book, Canadas premier colour designer shares a lifetime of discoveries about why colour, something we think will be simple to use and understand, is so complex. She offers us an entertaining crash course that combines history, science, and interior design in a one-volume extravaganza of colour information and knowledge. Whether its the history of pigment (did you know that blue used to be considered light black and was more expensive than gold?), an explanation of the properties of colour pigment and colour light (when is an orange car not an orange car?), or how our eyes were designed for survival on the African plains, Janice Lindsay imparts her deep understanding of colour with a sure touch. We all have colour wisdom encoded in our DNA, and colour rules are for breaking. In this delightful cornucopia of a book, you will find all the knowledge you need to trust your instincts and to bring colour into your home and your life.  Janice Lindsay is Canadas leading colour designer. Her work has appeared in publications like House and Home and Style at Home and on televisions City Line and HG TV. She writes about colour and design for The Globe and Mail, who have called her their Design Diva. She lives in Toronto with her husband, David Macfarlane, and their two children. Praise for Janice Lindsay: The house looks wonderful especially our luminous core. We arent calling you the colour consultant. We are calling you the colour goddess. Alison David It is a bold step to trust your colour scheme to someone, even a professional. I expected good and ended up with spectacular. Everyone simply stands in awe friends, the painter, our housekeeper. We dont even bring it up. They do and just love it. Maureen Brunner I love the colours Janice did for my friends house. I never thought colour could effect me but they have stayed with me. I loved the way the light reflected off the different colours at different times of day. My friend thought I was crazy the way I kept going on about them. I feel emotional now even thinking about them. I need those colours. Francesca Milan Excerpt: We view all colours as equals. We may prefer some to others but we would never dream of looking at the colour spectrum and not seeing each colour as an essential part of the whole. We would never think that orange played a bit part and purple had a starring role. Colour, like comfort, is something we take for granted. It is something we notice more in its absence than presence. Surrounded by colours that please us, we are more ourselves. But a colour mistake can seem like a constant bickering that eats away at the edges of our being. Some people are good at ignoring colour. Not me. For better and for worse, it has always been an obsession and I have always been aware of colours persistent conversation. For example, white ceilings. I can be sitting in a beautifully coloured room trying to have a perfectly nice time but if the ceiling is a cold, perfunctory white, it really bothers me. The white keeps saying look at me, look at me. It took three careers and a few decades before colours calling became impossible to ignore. I dont think I found colour. It found me.

Pirates. To many, the word conjures up romantic images of swashbucklers living a life of grand adventure in the 18th century as they roam the Spanish Main in search of booty to plunder. Last year, pirates kidnapped 440 seafarers and killed more than 30 of the hostages. Brandishing machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, these modern-day pirates use high-speed powerboats and rely on sophisticated intelligence and satellite communication to attack merchant vessels, UN humanitarian aid ships, fishing boats, private yachts and luxury cruise liners. High-seas piracy is now the domain of ruthlessly efficient criminals who have turned parts of the globe into virtual war zones. With billions of dollars to be made pillaging the high seas, todays pirates are now being joined by terrorist groups seeking to fund their activities. Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, and Abu Sayyaf the militant Islamic group based in the Philippines are just two of the terrorist organizations known to prey on seafarers. Even al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for attacks on shipping. Sea Terror: The New Face of Piracy takes readers on a wild voyage into the murky underworld of high seas piracy, a multinational, multi-billion-dollar enterprise increasingly controlled by organized crime syndicates and local warlords. Its an explosive story of ocean and seaport security, one thats costing over $25 billion a year to battle and which poses the risks of environmental disaster, economic chaos, and holy war.  Daniel Sekulich is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist whose work has taken him around the world. For his first book, Ocean Titans, the author spent several years immersing himself in the world of merchant shipping. He has also written about modern-day piracy for The Globe and Mail and, having developed extensive contacts within shipping, military, security, and government circles around the world, he is now one of the few individuals able to fully investigate high seas piracy and its related threats. Publications: Ocean Titans: Journeys in Search of the Soul of a Ship (2006) English Canada (Penguin Canada); US (The Lyons Press) Praise for Daniel Sekulich: Its a fact of our comfortable, heedless twenty-first century lives that weve lost our ancient human connection with the sea and the vessels that use it. Having travelled the world indefatigably in search of what he calls the soul of a ship, he has come back with the fascinating and vivid story of the hidden world of contemporary ships and the men who sail them. He eloquently reminds us that the sea is still there, still necessary, and, all too often, still deadly. Derek Lundy, bestselling author The Way of a Ship Like all truly good non-fiction books, Ocean Titans carries readers into an unknown world. Over and over again in this elegant work, were shown that as much as cargo ships are central to national interests and the global economy, from the time each vessel is born until the time its dismantled for scrap, every ship is also laden with human hopes and dreams. By the time you finish Ocean Titans last page, youve been on a voyage yourself. Its a journey well worth taking. Donovan Webster, author of The Burma Road and Aftermath Excerpt: Most people barely notice Kisauni as they drive north from Mombasa towards the resorts that line the Kenyan coast along the Indian Ocean. Its an overcrowded slum with garbage-strewn laneways and clusters of unemployed men who pass the time together at roadside stalls selling cheap beer and soft drinks, not the type of place a tourist would venture into. On a cloudless, late-September summer morning, though, Kisaunis sprawl doesnt appear quite as depressing as some other places, for instance the shantytowns of Mumbai or the favellas of Sao Paulo, but life is clearly hard here. While Kenya is better off than many other parts of the continent, the opportunities to find work and support a family are still not great in this part of Africa, so people will take almost any job offered, even if it means risking their life. Down a muddy alley, past a small, white mosque, the beat-up Toyota taxi pulls up outside a simple concrete and brick, one-story structure. The driver seems uncertain of the location, but my interpreter speaks to the man quickly and then gestures for me to get out, saying this is the place. A trio of young boys pauses from their barefoot game of soccer to smile and wave at me, while a toddler plays in the dirt with her only toy, a cardboard box. Im uncertain where to go until I notice my interpreter chatting with a man in a nearby doorway.

Our Days Are Numbered: How Mathematics Orders Our Lives is a lively new look at previously unfamiliar connections between mathematics and life, taken from the perspective of a walk through a typical day. It explains the mathematical basis for a variety of tasks, ranging from daily chores to work and leisure. Readers discover a completely original way to appreciate the mathematics inherent in their lives. Our Days Are Numbered offers fresh and exciting new ideas and opportunities to engage the mathematician in all of us. Spending the effort to appreciate the mathematics that surrounds us can have a dramatic effect on our daily lives. We can be more creative, not less. (In a telling story, George Martin, the Beatles producer, utilized a calculator and the twelfth root of 2 to marry together two disparate tapes of Strawberry Fields Forever.) We dont have to be filled with fear when we fill out our tax forms. We can confidently do those quick calculations of a waiters tip in a restaurant. We can do fast conversions of metric and imperial measurements. And we can see with our newfound eyepieces the opportunities (financial and otherwise) that those who are mathematically near-sighted do not. Our Days Are Numbered takes us on a fascinating 24-hour journey, seeking out the corners where mathematics hides. From statistics and probability to geometry, functions, networks and games, the book covers a tantalizing collection of mathematics that will leave the reader with a greater appreciation for what mathematics does and can do in our daily lives.  Jason Brown is a professor of mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, and a vice-president of the Canadian Mathematical Society. He has written more than 40 research articles, with an emphasis on mathematical modeling and on connections between various branches of mathematics. Publications: Navigating Calculus (2002) (Houghton Mifflin) Praise for Jason Brown: Professor Browns article A Hard Days Mystery [Riffs, Jan. 05], was simply brilliant! There is something very cool about the intrigue of a musical mystery, but I think its even better when the reader can be a voyeur to a successful sleuths methods. Glenn McNair, Guitar Player A brief introduction: Im a four-time Juno Award winner, and have written songs for Bryan Adams, Aerosmith and many others. As a fan and student of the Beatles I was very interested in your recently publicized research. Well done! Jim Vallance, Juno award-winning songwriter Excerpt: Making a single risky choice once isnt necessarily a bad idea, but repeated dangerous choices tempt fate. I remember the day naturalist Steve Irwin died; my youngest son cried himself to sleep that night. The great crocodile hunter was brought down by a freak event, a stingrays barb having pierced his heart. How did such an unlikely event happen? It was so extremely rare that someone so accustomed to the dangers of wildlife should die this way. I thought more about it and what my quick calculation showed was enlightening. Steve Irwin made a lifetime out of placing himself in dangerous situations. Suppose the probability that on any given day out exploring nature he, with his extensive skill and experience, had only a one in 10,000 chance of something going terribly wrong and resulting in him dying. The probability of him surviving that day would be 99.99% pretty much for certain. But over 20 years, or approximately 7,305 days, of taking such risks, the chance of surviving all of the days would only be 48%. That is, there would be a 52% (better than half) chance of him dying in some animal-related event. Think about it if he had died a few years ago while being trampled by a rhino, hit in the head by a condor, or after contracting an overwhelming infection after a lizard bite, you would likely have been just as shocked.

If you love art here is the bad news: on all fronts, the battle against art theft is being lost. Global art crime is moving with such speed that in recent years illicit trafficking of cultural property has discreetly moved up the ranks of international crime to join the grim trinity of arms, drugs and money laundering. UNESCO now ranks it second only to guns. Legitimate art is big business, but its shadow industry has matured into a boom worth six to eight billion dollars annually. The Western worlds addiction to hot art gives no signs of slowing. These crimes of art are becoming more violent, brazen, and perversely imaginative. HOT ART will explore the often mysterious and brutal transgressions that smash the global and cultural barriers between international criminal networks, societys elite collectors, gallery owners, and dealers, and most importantly the police officers who investigate these mostly unsolved crimes. HOT ART will be written in short, intense, character-based chapters that hopscotch the world from New York to London, from Baghdad to Rio. These are powerful, intimate stories that go deeper than the headlines and are told by passionate voices. HOT ART will illustrate exactly how the elitist art world operates, why it is replete with crime and why its in the best interest of the business not to open itself up for inspection. The rush to hot art is not going gently away it is exploding across our globe.  Josh Knelman is an award-winning arts and investigative journalist and editor. He was a founding member of The Walrus magazine. His writing has also appeared in The Walrus, Toronto Life, TORO, Saturday Night, CBCarts.ca, the National Post, Quill & Quire, and The Globe and Mail, where he is a frequent contributor. Knelmans feature article Artful Crimes in The Walrus was the result of a three-year investigation into the international black market of stolen arts and antiquities and won Canadas National Magazine Awards 2006 gold medal for Arts and Entertainment.

Praise for Four Letter Word: Devilishly satisfying. Toronto Star So fine a collection of loves contemporary chroniclers has seldom been assembled. Their literary skill and inventiveness are what make this diverse meditation on the four-letter word so wonderful to read. The Globe and Mail ...ridiculously enjoyable. A true pleasure. The Guardian (UK) [Joshua Knelman and Rosalind Porter] have brought wit and passion together in [this] totally original collection... The Telegraph (UK) Excerpt: I had lunch with a professional art thief once. It was a sunny day. We sat face to face at a small table on an outdoor patio in the late spring afternoon. Our conversation lasted for forty-five minutes. He was in his late forties, of medium height and medium build and wore a yellow windbreaker. He was handsome, but not movie star good looking. In fact, he looked like any number of middle-age fathers I know. It was easy for me to picture him standing on the sidelines of soccer field cheering on his son. That was why I was startled when he threatened my life. He told me that if I wrote anything about his involvement in a recent art gallery robbery I would be hurt. Specifically, that a man named _______ would be sure to cross paths with me. At best _______ would break my legs. There was a worst-case scenario as well. After discussing the future status of my legs, and prison tips, he reached down beside his chair. I hadnt noticed the long white papers rolled up inside a red elastic band. He handed the roll to me across the table. It was bright in the sunlight. When my hand closed around the papers I knew I had made a mistake. Fingerprints. Possession of stolen property. I had just implicated myself and he knew it. His eyes glimmered slightly as the papers passed from his person to mine.

You get old because you stop playing football. Sir Stanley Matthews Baby Boomers never say die. They are running marathons, climbing mountains and playing competitive sports in increasing numbers. On the West Coast of Canada, where far more people play soccer than hockey, there are burgeoning leagues for Over 40s, Over 50s and Over 55s. The skill level and intensity is high; fisticuffs are not uncommon. Alan Twiggs soccer team has played in three tournaments in France, winning one and placing second in another. Now the Point Grey Thistles are headed back to Europe for one final tournament in southern Spain, including a game against the Real Madrid Oldtimers. For these men, none of whom ever played professionally, this will be the match of a lifetime. Their English-born right winger, Bill, is 75. Their Norwegian-born manager, Ken, has contracted leukemia; their Dutch fullback Hans, battles against hepatitis, and Twigg, 54, himself has recently recovered from brain surgery. He tells his wife he doesnt head the ball. No matter where they play, their chief adversary is always mortality. Testing themselves against Real Madrid will be the pinnacle of their sporting lives, a fantasy journey come true. Full-Time is a chronicle of the year before the game of their lives. Little did they know the lessons they would all learn. Sport is often a metaphor for life. Nowhere was this more true than on the soccer fields of Spain.  Alan Twigg, publisher and editor of B.C. BookWorld, is the author of eight books. He is also a historian, a photographer, musician and film-maker. His articles have appeared in The Globe and Mail, Macleans, the Toronto Star, the Georgia Straight, and the Vancouver Sun. He lives and plays soccer in Vancouver.

George Melnyk, Interface One of the most unlikely and riveting poetry books of recent seasons George Fetherling, New Brunswick Reader, reviewing Intensive Care For Openers is much the best thing of its kind Ive ever read, and much more difficult to achieve than the casual reader would guess. Hugh MacLennan Excerpt: Even the Spanish had to admit we were making valiant efforts. They told us we had corazon, we had heart. As a bunch of old guys facing insurmountable odds, we were remarkably resilient, mentally fit. We didnt collectively crack under the strain. Nobody back home was going to understand it. They would only want to know the score. But it was becoming increasingly clear that collectively, with our strongest possible line-up, we had succeeded in undermining the confidence of the sort of players we had all just watched on television the night before. We didnt realize it at the time, but holding a team of ex-First and Second Division professionals to a scoreless draw for the first twenty-five minutes, when their median age was probably under forty, and ours was close to sixty, was a phenomenal achievement.

Megadisasters answers this quintessential question by looking to the scientists and researchers who know best... Can we predict tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, sudden climate changes, cosmic impacts, pandemics, and stock market crashes? From the story of a ten-year-old English girl who recognized the signs of an incoming tsunami on a Thai beach filled with tourists, to advances of scientists like Laplace and Fermi, Megadisasters takes the reader on a fascinating journey of discovery. It tells how researchers are struggling to forecast extreme events and minimize the damage they produce. Megadisasters weaves accounts of calamitous experience with the history of scientific prediction. Such catastrophes can create thousands of victims, ruin the economy, or wipe out most life on earth. If there was little we could do in the past to confront these calamities, science and technology gives us a far better chance to defend ourselves today. Following the work of the experts and capturing the human aspect behind the scenes, this informative and accessible book is for everyone who wants to learn when such forecasts can be made, how reliable they are, and what individuals could do to shield themselves from megadisasters.  Florin Diacu is a Professor of Mathematics and former Director of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences at the University of Victoria. He is the author of Celestial Encounters, a history of ideas in the field of chaos theory and The Lost Millenium: Historys Timetables Under Siege. He lives in Victoria, British Columbia. Praise for The Lost Millenium: A stimulating new book . . . [Diacu has] a gift for framing complex ideas in ways anyone can understand. Toronto Star [Diacu explores] the ideas of a maverick Russian mathematician named Anatoli Fomenko . . . [who] argues that time is out of joint . . . Its an understatement to call this idea revolutionary . . . Diacu makes a heroic effort in his book to tiptoe through this surreal minefield as a neutral. Macleans What makes this book so remarkable is Diacus unstinting commitment to uncovering the truth. It is a superb exemplar of open, rigorous, yet eminently readable inquiry. It will fascinate anyone with an interest in how science is done or how history is constructed. Jan Zwicky, philosopher, writer, and poet Governor Generals Award 1999 Excerpt: Indeed, any vigilant person could recognize an incoming tsunami; hurricanes dont hit without warning anymore; volcanic eruptions have lost their mystery; we know how the climate will change; we watch the evolution of viruses to avoid a pandemic; we discover and follow the rogue celestial objects that might collide with us. Of course, we are still far away from predicting all potential megadisasters, including earthquakes and stock market crashes. But scientists make progress everyday, and their models are improving. It is hard to foretell whether we will ever feel fully secure in the face of nature. Certain, however, is that many humble people are trying to make this world a safer place.

At least twice as heavy as the most burly dinosaur, even its tongue is larger than an elephant. It can gulp 50 tons of water in one mouthful and blue whale calves gain 10 pounds an hour. You can almost see them growing. Yet even a hundred years ago, humans knew little about the blue whales physiology or its habits. They learned just enough to find them, chase them down and harpoon them until only a few thousand remained. The history of hunting blue whales is like that of a world war: relatively brief compared with the devastation it wrought. It took centuries to render right whales and sperm whales endangered, but only 60 years to almost completely wipe out blues. When the killing stopped in 1965, there were so few left that research was just about impossible. Since the 1980s, however, science has learned an enormous amount about these whales, and these discoveries have not been chronicled in the popular media. Combining historical research from the Antarctic whaling stations of South Georgia and first-hand reporting from the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and the North Pacific off the coast of California, Wild Blue will be the first complete portrait of the blue whale a journey into the world of a magnificent animal that went to hell and is slowly making its way back.  In addition to being a journalist who has written for Equinox, Canadian Geographic, Macleans, Saturday Night and many others, Dan Bortolotti has published four books. Two of them were finalists for the Science in Society Book Award, given by the Canadian Science Writers Association. His fourth book, Hope in Hell, was the first complete profile of the humanitarian aid agency Doctors Without Borders. The intensive research took Bortolotti to medical teams in Angola, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United States and Europe. Accolades: Astronomy Book Club and the Discovery Channel Book Club Selection, and Science in Society Book Award Shortlist, Exploring Saturn 2003 Science in Society Book Award Shortlist, Panda Rescue Advance Praise for Wild Blue by Dan Bortolotti: Wild Blue is worthy of its mighty subject. With an easy to read style, Bortolotti gives us a fascinating account of the history as well as the enduring mysteries of one of the worlds most amazing creatures. Eric Jay Dolin, author of Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America A scientifically accurate and immensely readable account of the biology, behavior and recovery from near-extinction of this giant among giants. Phillip J. Clapham, author of Right Whales and Humpback Whales Dan Bortolotti turns his considerable journalistic skills to chronicling the blue whale saga... Spellbinding superlatives abound. Written with authority, insight and compassion, Wild Blue reveals for the first time the big picture on the blue whale story. Erich Hoyt, Senior Research Fellow, WDCS; Author, Creatures of the Deep With prodigious research and lucidsometimes eloquentwriting, Bortolotti tells three great stories in this book. [Wild Blue]...shows us the interconnections between the future of the blue whale and our own species roles on the blue planet. H. Bruce Franklin, author of The Most Important Fish in the Sea: Menhaden and America I am delighted to report that Dan Bortolotti got everything right. Wild Blue is not only about the awesome capabilities of this magnificent creature, it is also an important history of animal killing for profit and a reflection on the future of wild animals in a world dominated by man.

Every childhood contains at least one ravine an episode where the normal fabric of everyday life rips and the monsters come roaring out. But only Giller-nominated novelist Paul Quarrington could make that moment both profound and profoundly funny. Phil McQuigges marriage is over, he has lost his job as the producer of a wildly successful TV series, and has also lost the star of that series, who died on the set under mysterious circumstances that seem to be all Phils fault. So Phil, who self-medicates for guilt and despair with liberal quantities of alcohol and what remains of his wit, sets out on a redemptive quest. He has narrowed down the source of his mid-life freefall to the lingering consequences of an ugly incident that happened in a suburban ravine when he was a boy, on an afternoon of adventure with his little brother, Jay, and their hapless tagalong, Norman Kitchen. Phil decides that if he can only find and make amends to Norman Kitchen, then just maybe the planets will once again align benevolently with his fate. Paul Quarrington describes his tenth novel as what would happen if he had written Mystic River. He has a point: in his hands, comedy rides on top of a tragic undertow as the novel follows the surprising echoes of boyhood trauma in the lives of all three men. The extra surprise twist at the end? What Phil ends up having to atone for is not the sin he thinks he has committed.  Paul Quarrington is one of Canadas finest novelists. He is also a musician, award-winning screenwriter, filmmaker, playwright and acclaimed non-fiction writer. He has won some of Canadas highest literary awards for his nine previous novels, including the Governor Generals Award for Fiction and the Stephen Leacock Medal. His most recent novel, Galveston, was nominated for The Giller Prize. He is the winner of CBC Radios national book contest, Canada Reads, for 2008, and has released a new CD in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. with his roots/blues band, The Porkbelly Futures.

You are not really in distress. Says who? Says all of us. Youre depressed, youve got this self-destructive drinking thing going on, but you dont pose any true threat to yourself or others. I beg to differ. I pose a huge threat to others. Why, look at what Ive already done to them! And I wasnt even trying.  Fiction: Short Stories Represented by Samantha Haywood Rights: World Rights Available Ex: English Canada: Thomas Allen Publishers, March 2008 Books available  My White Planet XE "My White Planet"  Stories by Mark Anthony Jarman A master of literary conceit and a hewer of breakneck language, Mark Anthony Jarmans fiction defies categorization. Mark Anthony Jarman is one of Canadas most original and compelling writers of short fiction. My White Planet is his latest collection of fourteen new stories, many of which have previously won or been short-listed for literary magazine awards. Jarmans use of language and metaphor is unique in the Canadian literary pantheon. With extraordinary linguistic energy, he pushes the boundaries of fiction and story-telling. Every sentence reverberates with subtle meaning and every reading of a Jarman story brings out ever deeper layers of complexity and nuance. Mark Anthony Jarman is a protean writer who bends form and enters into worlds and people with panache and a verve that is breath-taking.  Mark Anthony Jarman is the author of 19 Knives, New Orleans Is Sinking, and the travel book Irelands Eye. He has published recently in The Walrus, Canadian Geographic, Hobart, the Barcelona Review, Vrij Nederland, and reviews for The Globe and Mail. He is a graduate of The Iowa Writers Workshop, has taught at the University of Victoria, the Banff Centre for the Arts, and now teaches at the University of New Brunswick, where he is fiction editor of The Fiddlehead. Accolades: Short-listed for the O. Henry Prize and Best American Essays, he won a Gold National Magazine Award in non-fiction, has twice won the Maclean-Hunter Endowment Award, and has been included in The Journey Prize Anthology and Best Canadian Stories. Praise for My White Planet: ...an author who is positively word drunk, delighting in twisting language into bizarre shapes, pushing and straining to test its resilience and its torque. There is a palpable giddiness to many of these stories: Jarman writes like a free jazz musician riffing on a central theme, or like a Beat poet jiving to the rhythms of his prose. Quill and Quire. In the breadth of his subject matter and the way he teases out his narratives, Mark Jarman shows himself to be a dauntingly innovative writer. But it is what he does with language that really sets him apart. Tensions escalate and worlds collapse in the wake of the most unexpected conjunctions and ingenious imagery. The overall effect is electrifying. My White Planet is beyond groundbreaking, it is an essential reminder of the power and ascendancy of the word. Barbara Gowdy, author of Helpless and The White Bone Reviews for Mark Anthony Jarman: ...it is brilliant. The writing is extraordinary, the stories are gripping, it is something new. A.S. Byatt, The Guardian A brilliant work...a postmodern classic. National Post Jarman has a gift for metaphor... his view is so fresh it glows, and what he leaves behind in his darkly comic twilight is a glittering pile of broken rules. I want more. Vancouver Sun No one writes quite like this. The Globe and Mail If youre feeling really brave, try anything by Mark Anthony Jarman.

This satirical novel begins with Gordons death, an event he would fail to notice. But when Gordon suddenly finds himself employed at the Heaven Book Company the worlds largest romance publisher he does notice that things are definitely odder than in most suburban office blocks. Gordon, a man without romance, settles in to Heaven where challenged by the steamy but unsatisfying reading material he continues to obsess about his ex-wife, Chloe Gold, who left him to go on to literary greatness, endless awards, and gala luncheons. During his lifetime, his work languished in obscurity while her face adorned subway poster campaigns that, to Gordon, were larger than life. As it slowly dawns on Gordon that he may have missed his own chance for greatness, he embarks on a mission that will redeem him, revive his writing career, and bring the bureaucracy of the afterlife to a halt. Heaven Is Small blurs style lines and opens up the boundaries that separate literature from popular fiction. With sly humor, Schultz explores what it means to be famous only after youre dead.  Emily Schultz is an award-winning writer living in Toronto. Her book, Black Coffee Night, was shortlisted for the Danuta Gleed Award for Best First Fiction. Schultz recently penned her first non-fiction project, Michael Moore. Her novel, Joyland, was called mesmerizing by The Globe and Mail. Her poems, Songs for the Dancing Chicken, are partly inspired by the films of Werner Herzog, and released spring 2007. The former editor of Broken Pencil, an alternative culture magazine, and of This Magazine, she teaches short story writing at George Brown.

But while Moodys book was a competent meditation on changing mores and the meltdown of the nuclear family, Joyland is a far better examination of what it means to come of age in the post-post-modern technopoly of contemporary North America. EYE Weekly If Joyland gets the kind of attention it deserves, maybe Schultz might, just might relax enough to give herself a tentative (but not too hard!) pat on the back. National Post Excerpt: Before his death, an event he would fail to notice, Gordon Small believed that books were strange things, bought to be lap-held and intimate, lugged about, earmarked, pencil-marked, guessed at, and loved in ways that even their authors werent. He believed the book itself to be the smallest and mightiest vessel of romance. Believing this to be so, he shopped only in Used, picking up other peoples discards, chewed-up paperback classics, yellowed greats, and obscure quirky seconds, as if he could revive their crumpled bodies with his own love, however meager, however modest. So it was with both hesitation and determination that he found himself, for the first time in many years, peering into the gleaming mega-chain.

Forced on hiatus from her job, Marry Me or Else! the show that tries to unite self-confessed spinsters with the men who dreams arent made of Minnie figures its time for a change. She decides to make the move from her cosmpolitan life to the tiny fishing village of Tuck Harbour, Prince Edward Island, where catches are running low and local feeling is running high. Taking a job working the counter at Eats n Treats, Minnie gets to know the colourful locals, including Joe McTeal, Tuck Harbours most notorious eligible bachelor.

Now magazine Louisa McCormack pushes chick lit in a new direction. Elle Canada (Top 3 Books) McCormack has impeccable timing...a treatise on the complex character of female friendship and the writing is smart.The Vancouver Sun Excerpt: With Joe so nice and close, I was reminded of that most blessed aspect of couplingthat the whole world can be going to seed, pandemonium can have cut loose, widespread wars can be waging fiendishly and without righteousness, but for a tidy twosome all that is at a remove. A couple constitutes a mini world with circuitry all its own, a world thats metaphysically safeguarded. Side-by-side with Joe that evening, I did not feel assaulted by the fact that bluefin were endangered, that reality television was taking a bite out of crafted drama, that Rexs strength was dwindling, that my cousin was taking a big risk on an unknown baby, or that many babies were suffering. In the right mood, at the right time, with the right disposition, membership in a couple does not double ones problems, it halves them.

Shattered by a family tragedy she can barely piece together, child-woman Jim steals a car and drives across Canada to Montreal, where she finds a job as a violinist in a thriving new rock band called The Angel Riots. In Montreal, Jim befriends Rize, a quiet trombone player trying to cope with a small heroin addiction and a penchant for being the sad clown. Though both Jim and Rize hope to forget their troubled families and lose themselves in the thriving independent music scene, they find the challenges of fame and touring more demanding than they expected. Besides sex, drugs, and rock n roll, they have to face the destructive force of their narcissistic band manager, Kellogg, not to mention surviving betrayals that re-enact the very family dramas they hoped they had left behind. Told from the points-of-view of both Jim and Rize, The Angel Riots is a behind-the-scenes look at the corruption and lust that drive the music industry. But most of all, it is a book about love, family, friendship and abandonment.  Ibi Kaslik is a freelance writer, teacher and journalist. She has a masters degree in creative writing from Concordia University. Her short stories have appeared in several literary magazines, including Geist and Matrix, and she writes regular book reviews for a number of Canadian publications, including The Globe and Mail.

Beside the letters, I've added graffiti in small pencil scrawl: is beautiful. The Angel Riots is beautiful. The Globe and Mail The Angel Riots succeeds, mostly because as important as music is to its characters (and some of Kasliks best passages evoke that love), character detail is more important to the writer. In this respect Kasliks book leans towards Robert Altmans Nashville in tone rather than, say, Rick Springfields Hard to Hold. Not fussing around trying to be cool, she gets it right. EYE Weekly The Angel Riots has music in its prose. CBC.ca Excerpt: I am heading east, my car is stolen. I can feel each kilometre clicking away in my gnashing teeth. The Transcona gravel, the thick August air is trapped in my sweaty fingers and hair as I grip the wheel and press the gas. And yes, its filmic: a blazing cigarette in hand, the bottle clinking against the steering wheel. Im drinking Jim Beam - my accidental namesake - straight from the bottle, with the windows rolled all the way down. An eighteen-year-old blond girl named Jim, me, driving myself across the country. And drinking, never losing my coordination, my clarity. Drinking myself east, I wonder: Is this what pain is - never feeling drunk again? East is colder, the oxygen is rich with the swell of green forests. Unable to gulp down the changing air quickly enough to stop my sobs, I pull over to the shoulder, my voice screeching into the still night. I reach out the window and throw the bottle at the sky. He wont find it, hes beyond those baby games. And so am I.

Just cresting her thirties, Anna Lasko, a frustrated school teacher whose almost ex-boyfriend, Adam, is away on temporary assignment in Europe, finds herself tricked into a break-up-with-the-bad-boyfriend intervention by her supportive but meddling girlfriends. To cope with it all Anna starts smoking again, keeps nightly counsel with her backyard squirrel, Buddy, and starts sessions with a caring but fashion-challenged therapist. Her well intentioned family starts adding to the emotional workload when her beautiful and free-spirited sister decides to move to the Middle-East and then emails her about an unexpected pregnancy and a possibly polygamous marriage. Luckily, Anna has her devoted grandmother who constantly says it like it is, refuses to conform to anyones requests, and continues to live on her prairie farm alone, while going half-blind! Spectacularly fun and rich with wit and honesty, The Prairie Bridesmaid is a delicious debut novel about the bonds that break and make family, friendship and love. Think of A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews meets Playing House by Patricia Pearson.  Daria Salamon has been published by The Globe and Mail, the Winnipeg Free Press and Uptown Magazine and her stories have been shortlisted for awards by the Writers Union of Canada and the Canadian Authors Association. Salamon authored the monthly humour column for the Winnipeg Free Press called The Wedding Diaries and is on the Board of Directors for Prairie Fire magazine. Daria lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba with her husband and newborn son Oscar. The Prairie Bridesmaid is her first novel. Advance Praise for The Prairie Bridesmaid: The Prairie Bridesmaid is a witty, sardonic and touching story of self-discovery leading to liberation. Daria Salamons writing is like a breath of fresh Winnipeg air. Nia Vardalos, actress, My Big Fat Greek Wedding Daria Salamon adeptly crosses genres and displays an abundance of literary savvy in The Prairie Bridesmaid. The wry, ironic voice of the main character, Anna, is reminiscent of the women characters created by Patricia Pearson in Playing House and Miriam Toews in Summer of My Amazing Luck. Daria manages an impressive balance between angst and wit, between a serious treatment of the ravages of a love relationship gone brutal and a humorous take on the vanities and shortcomings of a young woman who is mired in the muck of her own making. Marjorie Anderson, editor of Dropped Threads and Dropped Threads 2 I was knocked over by this novel. Its funny and has a wonderful voice and heart. Every bit as entertaining as A Complicated Kindness I laughed my ass off. Steven Galloway, author of The Cellist of Sarajevo From the first page of The Prairie Bridesmaid you cant help but to care about Anna and her life. Shes recovering from breaking up with Adam, but she doesnt want our sympathy; more, she wants to understand whats happened to her and how she ended up with a guy like him. Although the tone of Daria Salamons novel is cheerful, the story is darker and deftly told. Salamon is a skilled writer, keeping a tight rein on the emotional depth of The Prairie Bridesmaid. This is chick-lit for grown-ups. And its good. Alice Kuipers, author of Life on the Refrigerator Door In reading this book, I was touched and inspired. It is original and well-written and points to a reality both relevant and poignant for women with whom I share a generation. Daria Salamon writes with wit and compassion and manages to dignify the thoughts, emotions and sometimes treacherous turns that are part of growing up as women in Canada.

Literally. Take David Sedaris wit and mix it with the outrageousness of Douglas Couplands fiction and you get a glimpse of the Walker family in Things Go Flying. The Walker Household: Harold is clearly suffering from a mid-life depression, brought on in part by the abrupt death of his one-time best friend, Tom. Harold feels his life is pointless. Harolds wife Audrey, an increasingly frustrated housewife, is a control freak silently harbouring an explosive secret. They have two teenaged sons: John, the feckless eldest, who appears to be headed for disaster (his girlfriend wants him to steal a car); and Dylan, a keen observer who doesnt know as much as he thinks he does. Things Go Flying in the Walker household when Harolds long-deceased mother comes back to haunt them. Harold is horrified to find himself suddenly communicating with the dead. He has his mothers gift and if there was ever a gift he wanted to return, its this one! A door has opened onto the past and Audrey is similarly terrified. How is she to safeguard her secret now? If she cant control this world, how is she to control the next one? And how will she protect her good china? As his situation becomes increasingly complicated, Harold, who has made a practice of avoiding things all his life, must confront two problems how to find meaning in this life, and how to come to grips with the mostly terrifying idea that life just might go on forever!  Shari Lapea worked as a lawyer and as an English teacher before turning to writing fiction. She is a graduate of The Humber School for Writers, where her mentor was David Adams Richards. An excerpt from her first novel, Things Go Flying, appeared in the Spring 2005 issue of the Dalhousie Review. She recently won The Globe and Mails Great Toronto Literary Project contest. She lives in Toronto and is currently at work on her second novel, The Poets Preservation Society. Praise for Shari Lapea: Lapeas touch is sure, her labours invisible. Even walk-on parts ring clear and authentic. Family is strange. Lapea taps into its mix of the familiar and the unfathomable, ramping up the human skirmishes with a guerrilla foray into the question of evil. This is a book to make you see the gifts amid the chaos. Consider, like Harold, that you still have your buttocks, and be thankful. The Globe and Mail Shari Lapeas novel is wonderful high-purpose fun. The characters try to be unremarkable, but remarkable things keep happening to them. I enjoyed it tremendously. Paul Quarrington, author of Galveston A wonderfully alive, funny and inventive novel. David Adams Richards, author of The Friends of Meager Fortune Things Go Flying is a delight to read: funny and tender and vibrant. The story rips along, told in vivid scenes that are masterfully paced. Its all working in this novel: conflicted characters frustrated with each other, hope-mangled maybe, but still optimistic. It rings true in the most charming and most satisfying way. I gobbled it up. Eliza Clark, author of Bite the Stars Excerpt: It was an open casket; Harold saw that right away. He made a mental note to be sure to tell Audrey that he himself did not want an open casket, when the time came. Maybe Tom hadnt wanted one either, but what kind of control did you have after you were dead? What kind of control did you have over anything while you were alive, for that matter? Tom had had the world by the tail, and now look at him. Only, Harold didnt want to look at him. But no matter how much you didnt want to look, an open casket made you look. Thats what Harold hated about it it was so manipulative.

It single-handedly devastated one of the largest ports on the eastern seaboard, leaving more than 2000 dead and countless thousands homeless or missing. It was an act of God, not one of war or terrorism, but its effects have rippled through every generation since. Glass Voices is a novel about finding comfort and shelter in unexpected places. Twenty-year-old Lucy Caines and her husband Harry lost everything on that devastating day in 1917 including Lucys tiny daughter, Helena. Forty years later she is still haunted by the tragedy. This is a mothers story of love, forgiveness and optimism, a distinctly feminine and refreshingly spiritual look at a life framed by catastrophe. Unlike previous fiction about the Explosion Robert MacNeils Burden of Desire, and Hugh MacLennans 1941 classic Barometer Rising Glass Voices takes a decidedly grassroots view of a pivotal historical event, and infuses it with the rich, gothic soul so prevalent in the works of Maritime Canada.  Carol Bruneau is the author of two critically acclaimed collections of short fiction, After the Angel Mill and Depth Rapture, and the novels Berth and Purple for Sky. Published in the US as A Purple Thread for Sky, the novel won the 2001 Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award and the Dartmouth Book Award, a distinction shared only by Alistair MacLeod for his IMPAC-Dublin Prize-winning No Great Mischief. Carol Bruneau lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The raw feelings this novel explores are often painful to experience, and theres no doubt that Carol Bruneau has the ability to make the feelings inescapable. Glass Voices illustrates the immense strength some people have to cope with tragedy - and that is truly inspiring. The Globe and Mail Carol Bruneaus remarkably intricate, textured and complex novel Glass Voices ... is a deeply compassionate rendition of how cataclysmic rupture continues to repeat itself in survivors and their descendents through their lives. Literary Review of Canada A wonderfully crafted novel that follows in the tradition of Margaret Laurence and Carol Shields. The Coast Excerpt: Desperate would about describe how she feels once the lights too bright to ignore any longer. If dread had a colour, itd be the same as the grey behind the blind; its dullness bores through her innards. Lying there just makes it worse, and reluctantly she gets up, making the bed with a fussy care before going downstairs. No amount of sleep and not even the sweetest dreams could prepare her for whats ahead. In their own way, perhaps each of them feels just as desperate, Jewel and Rebecca, maybe even Robert, even if they havent come out and said so; desperate for something to shake Harry awake, to bring him back to life.

When seventeen-year-old Luke Hunter foretells the death of his friend Stan with freakish accuracy, life gets complicated fast. Luke is stoned and thinks hes joking when he tells a good friend exactly when 8:37 the following morning and how hit by a red van from out of town he will die. But when events happen just as Luke foretold, he (and everyone else in his hometown) realises theres nothing remotely funny about such premonitions. Friends, family, the local news crew, a Christian fundamentalist preacher, a missing girls frantic mother: everyone wants to keep their distance or get close enough to get the inside story. Luke, on the other hand, wants none of it; he has enough problems being an ordinary, everyday teenager, without the added burden of seeing into the future not to mention the ever-after. Written in clear, precise prose, Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet is a darkly comic coming-of-age novel with a difference. Hormonal and humorous, exhilarating and wise, its a book about fear and truth, life and death, and the music that plays inside us all.  Joanne Proulx has had short stories published in literary journals on both sides of the Atlantic, including Exile: The Literary Quarterly, and Upstairs at Duroc, a literary quarterly out of Paris. She also received a scholarship to attend the Summer Literary Session in St. Petersburg, Russia, awarded by Fence magazine for her story, I Land with the Force of A Million Men. Praise for Joanne Proulx: Proulx is pitch-perfect in her portrayal of the potty-mouthed, weed-smoking, angst-ridden adolescent narrator. A debut novel thats sharp, edgy and slightly skewedall qualities Luke consummately embodies. Kirkus Review Proulx channels ennui, insecurity and inner yearnings of a teenage boy to produce a fast-moving tale of struggling youth. Publishers Weekly ...believable and engaging Booklist This is a great book...it is impossible not to marvel at Proulxs mastery. National Post An assured first novel... The beauty of this story is its complete and beguiling faithfulness to Lukes inner world. Unaware, you watch Luke, recognize him, worry for him, until gradually you feel his ache, and his aching entry to adulthood, in your bones. The Globe and Mail Joanne Proulxs growing-up-in-Michigan novel kicks ass...Finally, a growing-up book by someone who actually grew up. Georgia Straight ...every new writer that surfaces so blessed should be cherished. Toronto Star From a writerly point of view, Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet is a tour de force. Proulxs pitch-perfect recording of adolescent angst that is small-town, male and rooted in the most extraordinary circumstances... impressive indeed. Ottawa Citizen ... in hands as sure as Proulxs it all makes for powerful fiction.
