Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Revised. Originally published in 1951, and rejected at the time by one NHL coach as "the product of a three-year-old mind," Lloyd Percival's <i>The Hockey Handbook</i> went on to become an internationally recognized classic. Russian and European coaches seized on the book as the first authoritative, analytical treatment of hockey fundamentals and based their training regimes on the principles Percival described. The father of Russian hockey, Anatoli Tarasov, wrote to Percival: "Your wonderful book which introduced us to the mysteries of Canadian hockey, I have read like a schoolboy."<br /><br />Now, nearly half a century later, <i>The Hockey Handbook</i> remains in a class by itself. It is the first book required by players or coaches at all levels of proficiency who are setting out to develop their own or their teams hockey skills.<br /><br />Wayne Major, Larry Sadler, and Robert Thom are all experienced amateur hockey coaches who came to appreciate the practical value of Percivals pioneering work. In revising the text, they drew upon the expertise of a variety of specialists, including, for example, Dr. Tom Sawa, who updated the chapter on training and conditioning, to give <i>The Hockey Handbook</i> a new relevance to modern hockey coaches. Now redesigned and issued in an easy-to-use format, the book will serve as an inspiration and guide to future generations of players and coaches.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. <b>Oryx and Crake</b> is at once an unforgettable love story and a compelling vision of the future. Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey-with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake-through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.

Silcox, provide an aesthetic commentary and full biographical chronicle.<br /><br />This special 25th Anniversary edition of Tom Thomson: The Silence and the Storm marks the 125th Anniversary of the birth of Canada's most popular and beloved artist and the 85th anniversary of his death.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge." These words are spoken by Iris Chase Griffen, married at eighteen to a wealthy industrialist but now poor and eighty-two. Iris recalls her far from exemplary life, and the events leading up to her sister' s death, gradually revealing the carefully guarded Chase family secrets. Among these is " The Blind Assassin, " a novel that earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, it was a pulp fantasy improvised by two unnamed lovers who meet secretly in rented rooms and seedy cafe s. As this novel-within-a-novel twists and turns through love and jealousy, self-sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real narrative, as both move closer to war and catastrophe. Margaret Atwood' s Booker Prize-winning sensation combines elements of gothic drama, romantic suspense, and science fiction fantasy in a spellbinding tale.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Paul Hieberts critical biography of the wholly mythical but irrepressible and irresistible Sarah Binks, the Sweet Songstress of Saskatchewan, who gave her life to poetry and died a martyr to the muse, is a hilarious analysis of her career and influences, along with a memorable selection of the poet's tenderest, most inspiring writings.<br /><br />This masterpiece of satire won the 1947 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Greg Locke had been away from Newfoundland for years, working as a photojournalist in Canada, the United States, and in many of the worlds most troubled regions, when he decided to go home - and stay. The photographs in <i>Newfoundland</i> were taken over a period of more than a decade. They chronicle the passage of Canadas easternmost province from a time when cod were still plentiful and the fishery shaped the lives of most of the islands inhabitants, to the present, when a vibrant economy, propelled by oil and mineral development, is recasting the islands identity in a new mould.<br /><br />What Lockes photographs reveal is at once forward-looking and nostalgic, beautiful and harsh. Above all, his Newfoundland ispopulated by survivors: a people who are resourceful, funny, resilient, and strong.<br /><br />Poet and novelist Michael Crummey draws upon deep-seated memories of his own and of his fathers experience to evoke passing traditions and a disappearing way of life. But, just as Lockes photographs reveal the emergence of a new, more urban and cosmopolitan Newfoundland, so does Crummeys writing emphasize the continuing sense of belonging and the determination to persevere that are characteristic of his compatriots. He writes admiringly of a culture deep enough to accommodate a world of influences without surrendering what makes it unmistakably of this place. Something alive and leaning towards the future. This book embodies both a vision and a voice of rare power.
