Literary Nonfiction. Women's Studies. Canadian History. WOMEN ON ICE is the first book to focus upon the vibrant world of women's ice hockey in western Canada during the First World War and the 1920s. With the support of more than three dozen photographs, many of which are published here for the first time, WOMEN ON ICE follows the fortunes of the Vancouver Amazons as they encountered teams from Victoria and New Westminster and the powerful squads from Calgary and Edmonton--teams that deserve to be legendary, but are now largely forgotten. Also profiled are teams from the Kootenays and Alberta. The curious decline of women's hockey in the 1930s consigned to obscurity the history of these and of all women's teams in western Canada. Women on Ice attempts to rescue some of that fascinating history.

In Beneath the Coal Dust, author Wayne Norton digs deep, exploring the fascinating and sometimes sobering stories of the mining communities in the Elk Valley and the Crowsnest Pass. In this new collection, Norton chooses mainly a micro view, focusing on the stories that are specific to this isolated and unique geographic region. These tales span from the notorious red-light district of Fernie to women's ice hockey in the 1920s, to the civic financial crisis caused by the Home Bank collapse, the regional history of breweries and prohibition, and the experiences and amazing fortitude of both Chinese and Syrian immigrants in what was a predominantly white settler town. This is a book about the local past, intended for those interested not necessarily in the broad sweep of national history, but rather in the smaller stories that are specific to this remote and historically rich area. And instead of dealing with the core regional narrative surrounding the coal industry, these explorations reveal some of what has been neglected and hidden "beneath the coal dust," as the title suggests.

Fernie, a small community located in BC's Kootenay region, entered the First World War in 1914 with optimism and a sense of national pride--it emerged five years later having experienced staggering losses and multiple controversies that threatened to tear their community apart.&nbsp; As a resource-based economy with unusually large and varied immigrant populations, and exceptionally high recruitment levels, Fernie was profoundly affected by conflicting impulses of labour, loyalty and ethnicity. Demands for internment of enemy aliens, resistance to prohibition and moral reform, the consequences of natural and man-made disasters, the unprecedented banning of recruitment, and the western labour revolt were all issues that contributed to a war-time experience for Fernie that was more dramatic and more revealing of underlying tensions than that of any other Canadian community. In his new book, Fernie at War, historian and author Wayne Norton explores what it meant to live in Fernie during those confusing and divisive years.
