// The Quest for the Northwest Passage: exploring the elusive route through Canada's Arctic waters
booktxt[377] = ["L. D. Cross","One of the world’s greatest stories of exploration was the 400-year-old quest by a series of valiant adventurers in small ships to find the fabled 'Northwest Passage' across the top of North America. From 1500 to 1900, their incremental voyages were the equivalent of the 20th century Apollo Program to land humans on the moon then return them safely back home. The early European searchers for the Northwest Passage were the astronauts of their era.
For centuries, Europeans sought the elusive Northwest Passage that was thought to be an open sea route, a short cut through the Arctic ice, from Europe to the Pacific Ocean and the riches of Cathay (China) and Asia. This northern way would avoid both the much longer sea journey around the tip of South America, which was jealously guarded by Spain and Portugal or, a trek across the interior of the North American continent.
Early visitors to Canada’s eastern and northern coasts included Viking sailors and Basque whalers. Then came prominent explorers like John Cabot, Jacques Cartier, Martin Frobisher and Sir John Franklin. On the Pacific side, James Cook and George Vancouver sought a western outlet of the Passage while Samuel Hearne and Alexander Mackenzie searched overland. John Rae found the remnants of Franklin’s lost expedition and Roald Amundsen found one of the water routes through the Passage in 1905-06.
But, instead of being the route to instant fame and fortune, this Passage was the perilous route to centuries of disaster, despair and death. And today it is still the subject of controversy and competing sovereignty claims. Now that temperature change once again threatens to melt much of the Arctic ice cap, conflicts over transiting the Northwest Passage and harvesting the resource riches of the Arctic, are intensifying. So, in the 21st century, is it still the Northwest Passage or the Canadian Arctic Passage? 150 pp.","Chapters Indigo, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, from the author","ldcross@sympatico.ca, www.koalaus.com, 613-225-2024, 1222 Bonnie Crescent, Ottawa ON K2C 1Z9"];

He slept in whatever shelter was available: tents, snowhouses, and poorly insulated houses. Most important to his service in the North, James Clarke (Jamie to his friends and family) was loved and trusted by the Inuit and all who lived in the North. Fluent in Eskimo (Inuktitut), German, and several other languages, he is best remembered for his mischievous smile, quick wit, and his glorious whistle. Wherever he went, he whistled. He whistled popular songs, children's songs, folk songs, operas, as well as his favourite music, church hymns. The Whistling Bishop is the story of the late Bishop James C.M. Clarke's life. It chronicles a life that began as a minister's son through his growing-up years in Belleville, Ontario, and Toronto, until the Second World War took him overseas trained as military intelligence. After the war, his ministry began in Calgary before taking him to Canada's far north at Fort Chimo (now Kuujjuaq) on Ungava Bay. The Whistling Bishop is a story of love and courage. It is also the story of how the power of music (even in the form of whistling) can transcend the many language and cultural barriers to win hearts and bring all humans together.","Baico Books in Ottawa, BookStop and from the author","ejomusic@sympatico.ca, www3.sympatico.ca/mistymo"];

This is also the story of Richard, a king waging a war against some of his own barons, forced to question the loyalty of even the closest of friends. A man who may have found more than a kindred spirit in his strong-headed recruit, raising suspicions amongst his officers, including his best friend, Paul, whose own destiny is forever changed by what he learns of the young soldier’s identity. 427 pp.","Baico Books, Perfect Books, Books on Beechwood.","Baico Books 102-C McEwen Avenue Ottawa ON K2B 5K7 613 829-5141 www.baico.ca"];

You believe you know what life is all about; then suddenly all that changes and you learn that your life is a lie. Coming back to the family home to settle up after her father’s death, Georgina Taylor opens the door to her mother’s music room, a door that had been locked since she was eleven years old when her mother died more than 10 years before. Why her father had locked the door was a mystery and now she was about to discover the reason. There in boxes, among reports about her mother’s music students, Georgina discovers that her mother was identified by two names. Names that were unknown to her, and names that changed her understanding of who she might be. The names of Katrina Weinstein and Karla Weiss were on documents that allowed her mother to enter America. But those names were Jewish and she had never known that her mother was a Jew. Georgina’s family had never practised any religion, Christian or otherwise; her father had never told her anything about her mother or his duties in the war and now she suddenly knew she needed to find out the truth. Journey into the history of Second World War and follow two women into the horrors of Auschwitz. History is never just a straight line and within the mystery of the two women is another mystery that affected one family and an ancestor’s history in America, which is entangled in a strange bank robbery where a family heirloom was stolen. This journey of discovery must be made because without the truth, questions remain unanswered and the uncertainty of who you are cannot be established and a troubled heart can only spell trouble. 330 pp.","Baico Publishing 294 Spark St. Ottawa ON 613-829-5141 baico@bellnet.ca Raymond Coderre Publisher","The author www.georgelaidlaw.ca laidlaw@iosphere.net"];

booktxt[301] = ["Emily-Jane Hills Orford","In 1725, Antonio Vivaldi wrote the music for The Four Seasons. He penned a poem for each of the four seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Each season has its reason, its significance, its purpose, its own symbolism. Life is like the four seasons. Summer is but one of the seasons of the year; one of the seasons of Vivaldi’s masterpiece The Four Seasons. Summer is the story of Hope Jones, a young Gitxsan fiddler from northern British Columbia, Canada. Hope has a rare musical talent and what everyone believes is a very valuable Stradivarius violin. Is it the mysterious missing ‘Juliet’? As Hope grows and matures in her music, she learns more about her violin, the romance and mystery that surrounds it and the very dangerous family that continually threatens her in their attempts to claim it. Hope’s life follows the four seasons of Vivaldi’s music, much like life unfolds through the seasons. Summer is but one story in Vivaldi’s musical journey.","Baico Books in Ottawa, canadabooksonline.com","ejomusic@sympatico.ca, www3.sympatico.ca/mistymo"];

She believed that adults committed sins on the Thou Shalt Not list every day and that a mere head-bending moment of confession could wipe the slate clean. Growing up in an environment where thoughts were not deemed private and where confession was habitual and penance severe, the young girl couldn’t understand how a priest could grant forgiveness for her sins while committing one in the process. That her drunken father awakened her or her siblings almost every night and beat them into unconsciousness proved even more difficult for her to comprehend. Desperate to free herself from the burden of abusive relationships, the young girl promised her Creator she’d try harder to be a good person if only He would answer her prayers. Thou Shalt Not emphasizes the inner strength of a victim of pedophilia and abuse who embraced the beauty of nature, laughter, and forgiveness and used them as crutches to survive. Her story was written to comfort and offer hope to those who might have endured similar experiences.","Trafford Publishing, Chapters, Barnes & Noble online.

'Leo's War is a fine addition to Canadian literature of the First World War. The letters of Leo LeBoutillier are a touching look into the life of a heroic First World War soldier. Leo was in many ways typical of the young Canadians who volunteered in 1914: a kind, family man dedicated to his community and his Country. He gave up everything to go to fight for what he believed in. 'Boots', as he was known in the Regiment, turned out to be an exceptional soldier, winning the Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery during the Battle of Somme in 1916. He was one of the heroes who stormed Vimy Ridge on that famous April morning 90 years ago. His letters give a personal insight into the type of man that brought Canada to Nationhood during the First World War', Norm Christie, author and host of the acclaimed W.W. I documentary For King & Empire as seen on The History Channel.

In the spirit of the post- post colonial, he brings colonialism from a level of abstraction to that of application, viewing it at the day to day level of the administration of a rural district of some 20,000 square miles by four officers and a handful of African district messengers, who worked together without even a telephone to assist them. With a wealth of detail that can only come from experience, Grant's work makes an important contribution to the understanding of a time, place, period and practices that are only now being considered in a balanced way. 290pp. Author Biography: William B.

What was not foretold was that the Amulet was not whole and that fact alone would have a great affect on the future. As it had also been foretold the planet Jerico came to invade and conquer Chrystalina. With the invasion two other children, who had just become the guardians of the Amulet and it's powers, were revealed and those two new comers were to become the rulers of the powerful Jerico Empire. The guardianship of the Amulet created a bond between the ten guardians and an unspoken alliance between the two planets. As a result of this alliance the children of Jerico retreated the attack intending to leave Chrystalina in peace. Peace was not lasting, however. A rebellion against the Children of Jerico, now the Emperor and Empress, was declared. The two children called desperately to the children of Chrystalina for help. Together the ten children fought to defeat the rebellion but it was too strong and eventually they concluded that for the moment staying on Jerico would be fatal. But the rebellion no longer wanted to chase the young rulers away, they wanted them out of the way for good. After a near fatal escape, the arrival of a couple of additions to this small family of guardians and several twists of fate that not only turned the tables on the Rebellion but created an even strong bond among the protectors of the two worlds, the Rebellion was sent on the run.

Bishop Marsh undertook his ministry with the same love and compassion and energy that had helped him build a thriving parish in north Toronto, the Church of St. Timothy.

Her greatest creations were her wonderful letters to those of us who stayed in the south, those of us who continued to live 'Outside' Yukon.

booktxt[235] = ["George Thomas","Didymus - The Twin is historical and religious fiction similar to the Herman Hesse inspirational novel, Siddhartha. It is the quest of the apostle St. Thomas to find a true meaning in life after the death of Jesus. It is a first person account of the journey and work of St. Thomas in south India, after the death of Jesus. The tale is unorthodox and is based on a viewpoint other than those of the five apostles of the New Testament. It is rather the account of the doubter, Thomas. The story captures the internal and external struggles of Thomas as he journeys to India. Once he arrives at the ancient seaport of Vanji, in Kerala, India, he must come to terms with an established culture and traditions much older than his which contradict and conflict with his beliefs. The men and women in the story are strong and memorable; they challenge Thomas's beliefs and taboos. In the end, Thomas realizes the nature of his brother's work and embraces his destiny without doubt.

There are no villains, only determined characters clinging to incompatible perspectives. The background for the story, a Canada tortured by the debate over language, is a page from my own history. I grew up a 'wasp' in a small, bilingual town in Northern Ontario and did not really come to grips with the 'peasoups' until high school. It was a turning point; my cultural horizons doubled. I began a long journey towards understanding both sides of the French-English divide. The insights gleaned along the way have propelled me to the national presidency of Dialogue Canada and to the administration of a bilingual high school. Who will read this book? English and French Canadians who know the separation issue and will want to agree or dispute some of the twists taken in the plot; Canadians who have never had the chance to see separation from the 'other' side; Americans, puzzled by the linguistic and cultural issues fuelling the turmoil north of the border; people who love an engaging story. 412pp.","From the author","The author www.terrencerundlewest.com"];

Born into a dysfunctional family, the author has written frankly of her years as an abused wife, her harrowing legal separation and her visit from an angel in a dream. His words, 'These are all yours. Grow them,' had showed her the way that would lead to healing.
Despite her huge fears, this single mother’s passion, tenacity and determination led her to fight for their rights. Overcoming the insurmountable odds in a tortuous litigation to right a wrongful separation agreement, she emerges with her emotional wounds healed, assertive and self-confident, reinventing her life.
The author also discovered the many pitfalls of the divorce process. She has written on these facts, so others may know in advance. She never gave up searching for the truth.
It was also a remarkable spiritual experience. During her darkest hours, her spirit was amazingly uplifted by dreams that foretold the future, and at times, by a voice that guided her.

// They Tried: The Story of the Canadian Youth Congress //

Originated, developed and administered by youth, it began in Toronto in 1935 and grew into a national organization, including youth from all social classes and a variety of religious and ethnic groups. As a history graduate of Queen's University (B.A., 1970, M.A. 1973, Ruth enjoyed researching and writing this book with the aid of a Canada Council grant back in the mid-1990s. To write They Tried: The Story of the Canadian Youth Congress, the author looked at the organization's archived material in the William Ready Division of Archives and Research Collections in the Mills Memorial Library at McMaster University, and interviewed older adults who had been involved in the CYC. The Canadian Youth Congress demonstrated that a youth constituency existed and paved the way for subsequent youth organizations. Its inclusiveness was remarkable then, and now as well. In a large, sparsely populated country, the CYC helped young Canadians get to know each other and fostered the growth of a Canadian identity. 154pp.","from the author/publisher for $20 + $2 postage and handling ralatta@cyberus.ca 613-225-0383.","For information about Ruth Latta's other books www.cyberus.ca/~rklatta/RuthLatta.html"];

// A Canoe Quest in the Wake of the " Prince of Explorers" //
booktxt[140] = ["John Donaldson","Two hundred years after the Scottish-born explorer, Alexander Mackenzie, completed the first crossing of the North American continent by canoe, John Donaldson fulfilled a personal dream by making the same voyage in his wood-canvas canoe, Spirit of Mackenzie. At aged 60, when his life was in upheaval, he began retracing the voyages of his boyhood hero, armed with only a little recreational canoeing experience but a grand sense of adventure. John's travels took him more than 12,000 kilometres across Canada to the Arctic and Pacific oceans from Mackenzie's starting point at Lachine, Montreal, once headquarters for the Northwest Company, where many of Canada's great explorers had set out before. Many dangers followed: cranky bears, near-capsize in the wake of a Lake Superior freighter, marooned on dismal Lake Winnipeg, staring down the rifle barrel of a trigger-happy madman at Buffalo Narrows, a wild bronco ride on the mighty and unforgiving Fraser River, a snarling rabid coyote in B.C. But five summers in the wilderness retracing the paths of the great explorer brought a healing of his wounded spirit. It also strengthened his determination to make Canadians aware of the country's extraordinary rich history, and the vulnerability of this great natural wonder. 288pp.","Artful Codger Press, 10 Gordon St. Kingston ON K7M 3R9, www.canoe-odyssey.com.
