Description:
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1980. 164 pp, large 8vo (10 1/4"). 70 watercolors by E.J. Revell. "In seventy exquisite watercolours E.J. Revell has captured the beauty of plants found by early travellers in North America - from Ash to Wintergreen, Bittersweet to Wappatoo, the common Bedstraw and the uncommon Camass, the edible Fiddlehead and the ubiquitous Dandelion. Accompanying each painting are quotations from a variety of explorers and settlers, describing the plants and reflecting the practical, aesthetic, and botanic interests of newcomers in different parts of the country. The result is an intriguing mixture of native knowledge and frontier wisdom which provides a picture of life in a new land." Dust jacket has some darkening to panels and edges, minor edge wrinkling.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good+. Illus. by E.J. Revell..

"(T)o most people's view, the country of the caribou is all barren land: harsh, unproductive, devoid of beauty. One of the purposes of these pages is to show that nothing could be further from the truth. The northern wilderness is barren only to those lacking in perception and imagination. But if we should let the great herds vanish from the barren-lands, they will indeed become what the name implies, and we will have lost a part of the majesty and mystery of life."

"Beside the Columbia Icefield, in Banff National Park, lies a narrow valley. One end of the valley is a barren arctic waste, newly formed by the retreat of the ice ages. Gradually, it grades into an alpine meadow and then into a northern coniferous forest. The valley and the glaciers around it gell the story of how the landscapes of Canada were formed, from the great ice ages to this summer's flowers. Partway down the valley there is a cave mouth, the sole entrance to an enormous complex of vaults and passage-ways under the valley and glacier. In the cold darkness of the Castleguard caves water has been forming and enlarging passages for hundreds of thousands of years. Glistening white stalactites, among the purest in the world, have been growing for millennia. Come celebrate Castleguard with the adventurers who have explored and photographed the… Read More

Description:
Doubleday Canada, 2014. 285 pp, 8 1/2" H. Pictorial endpapers, b&w photographs, map. "When Andrew Peacock made the move from Ontario to Newfoundland, he thought he was kicking off his career as a newly qualified veterinarian with a brief adventure in a novel location. Turns out he was wrong about the duration - three decades later, he is still in Newfoundland. But it has certainly been an adventure. In his immense new practice - half the Avalon Peninsula - Andrew was the only vet for miles around, visiting patients (and their owners) on farms, in homes, and in the wild. A day's work could include anything from a Caesarian section on a cow in a blizzard, to capturing a polar bear on walkabout, to freeing a humpback whale from a trap designed for cod. All this is against the background of a domestic scene in which Adnrew's wife, Ingrid - also freshly qualified, as a 'human doctor' - shares the challenges of making a new life, fitting in to a well-established community, and… Read More

Description:
Toronto: Douglas Gibson / McClelland and Stewart, 1987. 219 pp, 8 3/4" H. Small b&w illustrations. "As (Horwood) describes the land around his home the beauty of his prose is breathtaking, whether he is writing about finches, stars, vegetables, seaweed, beech trees, ponds, garter snakes, or squirrels hiding cookies all over the house. No city-dweller will be able to read this book without a sigh of envy at the life the author and his family have created in 'one of the truly magical places on the earth'. But (it) is much more than just a book about nature described by an expert. For Harold Horwood's detailed observations lead on to a more philosophical plane. The discovery of earthworms knotted to preserve moisture causes him to speculate on DNA and how worms 'remember'. A description of blue herons fencing in a courtship battle, where their razor-sharp bills inflict no damage, leads to the subject of war. These and similar themes are provocative, challenging,… Read More

Hamilton, Ontario: James Street North Books / Wolsak and Wynn , 2018. 133 pp, 8 1/2" H. Map endpapers. Signed by author on title page. "Chedoke is one of six creeks that weave their way through Hamilton (Ontario), but it is the most hidden, lost to culverts and concrete. It sees daylight only in a couple of waterfalls where the creek flows over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment and in a short canal where it runs alongside Highway 403. In elegant, seamless prose award-winning author John Terpstra attempts to trace Chedoke's afflicted waters back to their source, searching through historical archives and city documents, and even walking up the great storm drains that collect the water that spills from the escarpment. (This) is a moving meditation on how urbanization and industrialization have literally buried our natural environment and what it would be like to free our creeks and reconsider our relationship with nature."

His books on fly fishing brough him an international reputation and visitors from all over the world. His wife Ann shared in many aspects of Roderick's public life, while also establishing her own more local, but nonetheless significant, reputation as an inspirational librarian and teacher, and a community activist. Now their eldest daugher Valerie has written an intimate biography of her parents that reveals the private lives behind the public figures - their intense devotion to each other, their mutual love of books, the daily delights and frustrations of life on a small farm while juggling careers of writing, teaching, judging and raising four children. Much of the book is based on private correspondence between Ann and Roderick, both before and during their marriage, as well as Roderick's early… Read More

Toronto: Stoddart, 1999. 332 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H). "For millenia, we lived in harmony with the Earth, taking only what we required to survive. But in just the past few centuries, we have used our powers to thrill and amuse ourselves, to satisfy our obsession with consumption and new technology, without regard for the consequences. And in doing so, we have exploited our surroundings on an unprecedented scale. In (this book, the authors) lucidly describe how we have evolved beyond our needs, trampling other species, believing that we can make the Earth work the way we want it to. And they introduce us to the people who are fighting back, those who are resisting the inexorable advance of the 'global economy' juggernaut, the people whose voices are difficult to hear over the din of corporate PR machines. We learn about how human arrogance - demonstrated by our disregard for the small and microscopic species that constitute the Earth's engine, and our reckless use of technological… Read More
