For centuries, Lake Huron's North Channel and St. Mary's River have provided an essential passageway, first for native peoples and then for successive waves of Europeans. The footprints of Indians, explorers, missionaries and fur traders, soldiers and settlers, entrepreneurs and scoundrels are ever visible. 
Brimming with stories, folklore and eccentric frontier characters, the book pulls you along on an engaging journey of discovery, stretching from the ancient, quartzite hills of La Cloche, west along Manitoulin Island and the North Channel, to the St. Mary's River and the two Saults. Includes over 125 sites, maps and archival photographs.

Disaster Canada travels across the country from its rough beginnings to the present, exploring the history of its most devestating catastrophes. Some are caused by powerful natural phenomena and erratic weather patterns. Others can be put down to tragic human error: a miscalculation in the strength of steel and suddenly 86 men are crushed beneath the twisted remains of the Quebec Bridge; a miscommunication between two vessels in Halifax Harbour and 2,000 die, 9,000 are maimed and 25,000 are left homeless within minutes; a handful or erroneous assumptions and 77 hungry sealers freeze to death on an ice floe within walking distance of their ship. In this book, stories and dramatic photographs expose the human core: our will to survive, our heroism, and our capacity to face the worst. Beneath the the shock of headlines comes the rich story of Canada's sometimes painful growth, a nation that time after time has pulled together in crisis.

Castles of the North celebrates the magnificent history of Canada's grand hotels, buildings that are among the country's most recognized and storied landmarks. In Quebec City, the Chateau Frontenac defines the skyline; in the Rockies, the Banff Springs entices visitors to dramatic scenery. Though overshadowed by towering bank buildings, the Royal York in Toronto still holds its own. Some of Canada's earliest draws, the historic grand hotels were also at the social heart of emerging cities from coast to coast. Lavishly illustrated with 400 photographs, the book is filled with entertaining portraits of the hotels. Uncovered are remarkable stories of the hotels as hosts to dignitaries and celebrities from the King and Queen of Siam to Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt during the World War II Quebec Conferences. The grand hotels were magnets for Saturday night supper dances and Big Band performances, as well as the place to meet for afternoon tea. They were quirky places where the staff knew to expect the unusual as usual, whether serving filet mignon to opera soprano Lily Pons' dog, or clearing a suite of all furniture - except the bed - for John Lennon and Yoko Ono's week-long bed-in for peace. Brought together, the story of the hotels also creates a kaleidoscope of Canada's changing eras and social motes.
