From the number of kilometers of coastline to the stories behind those weird place names (hello Ecum Secum) to profiles of Joe Howe and Alexander Keith, there is no book as comprehensive as the Nova Scotia Book of Everything. There is also no book more fun. Well-known Nova Scotians like Premier Rodney MacDonald weigh in on subjects like the five Nova Scotians he admires most; Ashley MacIssac tells us his five greatest Nova Scotians; Joel Plaskett gives up his favourite hangouts. The worst weather, Nova Scotia slang, the greatest crimes…it’s all here!
Whether you are a life long resident or visiting for the first time, there simply is no other book that delivers the goods. If you love Nova Scotia, you’ll love the Nova Scotia Book of Everything.

By late January, Maritimers thought they had gotten away with it. After all, lawns had been mowed well into December, and Environment Canada said we could expect much the same for the rest of the winter. What could go wrong? Then it began, rain turned to ice in an unprecedented freeze, turning driveways and highways into skating rinks. The ice was followed by storm after storm, and just when Maritimers thought Mother Nature was going to let them come up for air, she unleashed 100 centimeters of the white stuff in two separate storms over three days, bringing the region to a standstill. The Winter of 2015 rewrote the record books. This photographic portrait documents the events in all their misery, and beauty, and is a must for every Maritimer.
