What horses reveal to us about ourselves as we struggle to understand their behaviour — that’s the essence of this remarkable and compassionate book by Chris Irwin, Canada’s own horse whisperer. Irwin points out that learning to think like a horse means exploring the ancient relationship between predators and prey, with humans and horses cast in opposing roles. In Horses Don’t Lie, Irwin’s message is that horses can teach us how to communicate with empathy and patience, not only with animals, but with each other.

At its height, the HBC’s holdings covered almost a tenth of the world’s land surface, stretching from the Arctic Ocean across the Prairies and the Rocky Mountains to British Columbia and Oregon. When the upstart North West Company of Montreal challenged the HBC supremacy, however, an ongoing battle erupted which changed the course of Canadian history.University of Manitoba historian J. M. (Jack) Bumsted has written a colourful, in—depth account of this titanic struggle. Combining astute scholarship with an accessible writing style, Bumsted’s Fur Trade Wars brings to life the dramatic events and memorable characters that helped shape a nation.
