It’s our favorite topic of conversation. And the Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar is one of this country’s most popular and best-selling compilation of facts, dates, and stories about our climate. Did you know that rain increases productivity? Or that cold kills more than heat? Or that the longer a porcupine’s quills are in the fall, the snowier the winter will be? DAVID PHILLIPS spent more than 40 years in the Weather business at Environment Canada, first as a researcher, and later as media spokesperson. He retired in 2015, but continues to add daily facts and tidbits to his collection of over 35,000 weather tales.

In Storm the Kettle, authors Elaine Feore and Joanne Goudie celebrate Newfoundland’s strong connection to the past with an eye to the culinary world beyond its shores, maintaining a centuries-old love of food and commonwealth, but, at the same time, infusing them with a contemporary sampling of recipes from around the globe. It’s often observed that Newfoundlanders take great pleasure in sharing food with the people around them, and Storm the Kettle encourages and updates this tradition, taking inspiration both from present-day Newfoundland restaurant culture as well as from the customary foods that have graced East Coast tables since Canada’s earliest days. Appetizers and sides like Turnip “Fries” with Crispy Prosciutto and Balsamic Dressing invite foreign tastes to time-honored staples. And for the purist, Feore and Goudie offer a generous helping of recipes that pay tribute to Newfoundland’s essential export—cod— with selections such as Salt Cod Soup, Cod Tacos, and Poached Cod with Mixed Vegetables. Pub Date: October, 2016 Price: $29.95 ISBN: 1770502998 Format: Paperback With Flaps Pages: 196 Trim: 8 x 10 We wanted to feature our province as an integral part of the book, because we feel that our heritage and culture still shines through in how we live and eat here now. It is evident in our laid-back lifestyle, our spontaneity, adventurousness and generosity. It is evident in how we open our homes and share our tables and our joy in every celebration. It is, to a large degree, this Newfoundland “spirit” that we want to share with readers. We want to remind readers that the value of relationships has not changed, and that sharing of food nurtures those relationships. ELAINE FEORE was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She is a self taught cook who ran a catering business in Windsor, Ontario before fulfilling her dream of opening her own restaurant, Elaine’s Fine Foods. After selling that restaurant, she returned home to live in Newfoundland where she met Joanne Goudie. Together the two of them built The Blue Fish Bistro, a restaurant in Grand Falls-Windsor serving cuisine inspired by menus from around the world. JOANNE GOUDIE was born in the central Newfoundland town of Botwood but has lived in many parts of the island including Corner Brook, Stephenville, St. John’s, Fogo Island and Grand Falls-Windsor. She has always loved baking and catering, and after meeting Elaine Feore the two were able to turn their shared passion for food into the grand adventure. Joanne and her husband Craig are the proud parents of two sons. 7 Whitecap Fall 2016 500 BEST VALUE WINES IN THE LCBO 2017 Rod Phillips Rod Phillips is back with his hugely popular guide to the best wines currently on sale from the Liquor Board of Ontario’s General Purchase and Vintage Essential lists.

Present at the earliest recorded points of human history, it has been present at the height of sophistication and the depths of debauchery, an integral part of religious ritual and a free-flowing social lubricant. This new edition explores the tourism and terroir-driven global industry of today while reaching as far back as Ancient Greece and Rome. On the way it stops at significant points of wine history including the birth of Champagne, Venice in the 17th century, trade in the Middle Ages, and more. Celebratory and thorough, 9000 Years of Wine never lets the scale of history—wars, fraud, blight, colonization, Prohibition—get in the way of a good story or notable bottle. ROD PHILLIPS is professor of history at Carleton University, Ottawa, and the author of a number of books on alcohol and wine. His books have been translated into many languages. He writes a weekly wine column for the Ottawa Citizen, writes on wines and spirits for NUVO Magazine, and has contributed to wine media such as The World of Fine Wine (U.K.), Wine Spectator (U.S.), and Vines (Canada). 8 Pub Date: January 2017 Price: $19.95 ISBN: 1770502408 Format: Paperback Pages: 296 Trim: 6 x 9 Fall 2016 Whitecap THE BAKER IN ME Daphna Rabinovitch Daphna Rabinovitch has been an enthusiastic baker from her childhood right through to a distinguished career as a pastry chef.

A weak defense at a two-day trial in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland resuled in a guilty verdict, coupled with a strong recommendation for mercy. The Chief Justice pronounced a sentence of death on April 28th, 1942. Six years later, during a night of terror in the town of Norris Arm, Alfred Beaton stabbed his girlfriend, and shot to death another young woman. Beaton then rampaged through the town, but failed to find any other victims. Beaton was sent to trial on January 31, 1949, wherein the jury returned a guilty verdict without a recommendation for mercy. The judge imposed the death penalty. Eric Colbourne investigates the background of these two cases, cases which would ultimately result in the abolition of the death penalty in Newfoundland.

Originally created to emulate the malts of Scotland, Japanese whiskies now hold a distinct and unique place among other world-class spirits.

UntiI now. In WHISKY JAPAN, the most comprehensive book on Japanese whisky ever available in English, renowned expert Dominic Roskrow reveals what makes Japanese whisky so special and sought-after by whisky connoisseurs everywhere. He introduces the companies that make Japanese whisky, and offers detailed portraits of these distilleries, explaining their complex production processes, traditions, and the new innovations that have allowed them to take on and surpass the competition. The reader is carried along on a journey to the very heart of Japanese whisky making, with extensive tasting notes for all the leading expressions, profile interviews with key personalities, and over 500 beautiful photographs and illustrations.

To celebrate this outstanding career Grub Street is delighted to be publishing his new title La Cuisine des 5 Saisons in English. This beautiful book is about his recipes and his work as a chef and for the first time makes his dishes accessible for home cooks. Why is it called Five Seasons? Because for chef Gagnaire there are five not four seasons; Spring, he says must be divided into two seasons because you don’t have the same produce in March as in June. Thus the recipes in this book follow the rhythm of the seasons and their bounty. In each chapter there are six menus with starter, main dish and dessert. The recipes come from Pierre’s culinary’s repertory and these are the recipes which made him famous. Through the recipes one can see the strong worldwide influence in his cuisine, cooking with every kind of ingredient. His eponymous restaurant in Paris specialises in modern French cuisine, and has garnered three Michelin stars. He has become an iconoclastic chef at the forefront of the fusion cuisine movement by introducing jarring juxtapositions of flavours, tastes, textures, and ingredients. On his website he gives his mission statement as ‘facing tomorrow but respectful of yesterday’. Gagnaire is also Head Chef of Sketch in London. In 2005 both restaurants were ranked in the S.Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants, with Pierre Gagnaire ranking third for three consecutive years (2006, 2007, and 2008). In December 2009, Gagnaire made his United States debut with Twist in Las Vegas, which has since received great critical praise. He now also has restaurants in Hong Kong, Seoul, Dubai, Tokyo, Berlin, and Moscow. 12 ISBN: 978-1-910690-31-4 Price: $49.95 Format: Hardback Trim: 280 x 250mm Pages: 216 pages Four colour throughout Fall 2016 Grub Street Publishing QUIVERING DESSERTS Marie Holm Have you ever tasted a real homemade custard pudding? And no, we don’t mean the one that comes from a packet, but a beautiful, trembling cream dessert made the old fashioned way with eggs, sugar, milk and cream. In Quivering Desserts & Other Puddings you will find recipes for both classic puddings such as vanilla, almond, chocolate and wonderful contemporary versions such as salted caramel pudding with caramel popcorn and white chocolate pudding with jasmine tea. And much, much more. Sounds difficult? It is not. A real pudding just requires a little time at the stove and some hours in the refrigerator. And the reward — a quivering cream artwork that makes children quiver and adults sigh.

It provides a true case study of the adaptive forest management procedures which embrace multiple goals, allowing for a true vision of what a successful forest is, and what it must become.

Bunting “This marvellous book should be hailed as an instant classic.” -- David McCullough For young men more than a century ago, “going to sea” was as much a rite of passage as making a grand tour of Europe. Sea Struck brings alive the final decades of square-rigged sail through the accounts of voyages made on three ships by three young men from Massachusetts. There is plenty of adventure here— storms, men overboard, discipline that bordered on brutality, and exotic ports. There is also a fascinating immersion in the lore of the sea and sail and the global web of connections in the New England maritime community. W. H. “BILL” BUNTING shipped as galley boy aboard the brigantine Yankee at age 13 and later completed a 25,000-mile world voyage as first mate of a 132-foot barkentine.

Shettleworth, Jr. Nineteenth-century Maine—famed for its lumbering, shipbuilding, and seafaring—has attracted copious attention from historians, but early twentieth-century Maine has not. Maine on Glass redresses this imbalance with 190 postcard photos and three of Maine’s foremost historians. Postcards were the Instagrams of the early twentieth century. The images in this book were selected from 22,000 glass plate negatives created by the Eastern company between 1909 and World War II. W. H. “Bill” Bunting is the author of Boston: Portrait of a Port 1852-1914; A Day’s Work in two volumes; An Eye for the Coast; The Camera’s Coast; Live Yankees; and Sea Struck and has been called “the best of Maine writers and scholars.” Kevin Johnson is the photo archivist for the Penobscot Marine Museum. Earle G. Shett leworth , Jr. was appointed to the first board of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission in 1971 and has served as director of the commission since 1976 and as Maine State Historian since 2004. 24 Price: $44.95 ISBN 978-0-88448-378-6 Format: Paperback Trim: 8 x 10 Pages: 224 pages, 190 duotone photos Fall 2016 Tilbur y LIFE IN YOUR GARDEN Reeser Manley and Marjorie Peronto Gardeners can play a significant role in helping to sustain native plant diversity and providing refuge for threatened species of insects and sanctuary for birds, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals. Horticulture experts Reeser Manley and Marjorie Peronto share their own experiences in gardening for biodiversity, placing a strong emphasis on insect diversity as a bellwether of success. Insects comprise 60 percent of Earth’s biodiversity, and they deserve to be recognized as the creatures that run our gardens. It is not the gardener’s job to eliminate insects that munch on leaves, suck the sap from stems, bore holes in fruits, or graze on roots. This is the work of predatory insects and arachnids such as ladybug beetles, hoverfly larvae, praying mantises, certain wasps, and spiders. It is the gardener’s task to cultivate populations of these predators. The Life in Your Garden also describes the functional plants of a garden (with recommendations for understory trees and shrubs throughout North America) and their relationship with garden life, introducing the concept of a “garden insectary.” Pub Date: October Price: $55.00 ISBN 978-0-88448-472-1 Format: Hardcover Trim: 8 x 10 in Pages: 320 pages 150 color photos and illustrations That a gardener can be an important steward for our planet is a powerful concept, and here at last is the book that shows us how.

Lee This is a book about superstition, life in rural Canada, and it will appeal to those who hunger for memoir, the way things were, and the curiosities of life that somehow can’t be believed. Almost two hundred years ago author John B. Lee’s great-great grandfather departed from Ireland for the new world with the prospect of establishing a homestead in what is now southwestern Ontario. As was the tradition the sendoff began with an American Wake, for those leaving and those left behind knew they would never see one another again. In a chapter of that title, Lee writes “They stood on those morbid piers watching the white ache of mast and cloth as they vanished west, a crow’s nest lowered on the wet blue curve of that deep-water distance in an arcing line like the falling down of kites behind hills.” Sometimes sad, sometimes lighthearted, but always poignant this memoir begins in the wilderness with wolves and bears and stone horses, moves quickly through the centuries to the apotheosis of the thriving tradition of the family farm and from there into the period of decline and decay where the elision of time has stolen the name from the side of the barn as letter by letter it fades and falls to ruin. An exploration of the relationship between the rational and the material world on the one hand, and the world of dream and imagination on the other, Lee’s book closes with these words: I am making the world I am made from.

Some paradoxes are humourous, but some are deadly. The poems debunk an intellectualism that pretends we can strategize straight lines of progress to our goals. Rather, “Life’s walking a straight zigzag, while standing upright in a somersault” (Irish saying). Zigzags replaces this intellectualism with a vision of life and ourselves expressed in the harmonizing metaphors of poetry.

His eye is prescient, combining awe and humour with a very real respect for the Haitian people and the land they cherish. At the heart of the book is a reflection of faith, death, and the degradation plus redemption of humanity. This is a book about social justice, human rights, poverty, and human dignity. A book about our southern neighbours. Illustrated with photographs. Don Lajoie is writer who has worked in Journalism across Canada for four decades, most recently at the Windsor Star.

JOHN LAIRD FARRAR TREES IN CANADA TREES Canada NATURAL RESOURCES CANADA CANADIAN FOREST SERVICE $50.00 SABLE ISLAND in JOHN LAIRD FARRAR TREES IN CANADA is a guide to the many tree species, both native and introduced, that are found throughout Canada and the northern United States. It evolved from the popular Native Trees of Canada, which for 8 editions and over 75 years provided information on trees in nontechnical language and in an easy-to-use format. The last edition, published in 1979, gave only passing mention to non-native or introduced trees. Trees in Canada includes descriptions of introduced species that are commonly planted or naturalized. The text for the new edition has been reviewed by forest science specialists across Canada and in the United States. A Reader’s Guide shows how the book is organized and explains technical terms. The author has ingeniously organized the more than 300 tree species into 12 groups based mainly on leaf shape and arrangement along the twig. The features that define the 12 groups require little botanical knowledge to recognize and are easily observed. An identification key inside the front and back covers comprises an icon (a stylized drawing) for each group, a statement of the group’s essential features, and a numbered thumb tab, which allows rapid entry to the group. Dichotomous keys for the groups and large genera and winter keys for broadleaf trees and deciduous conifers are also provided. The comprehensive and well-researched text of Trees in Canada is complemented by nearly 600 color photographs and 1600 drawings of features useful for identification of the tree species. Also included are 136 range maps and color maps of Canada’s forest regions and plant hardiness zones.

Champlain canoed through its maze of more than 30,000 islands in 1615 marveling at this glacially-scoured archipelago that is like no other in Canada. Georgian Bay contains the largest freshwater island in the world (Manitoulin), its rocks are as old as 2.5 billion years and the varied topography of its coast and hinterlands have inspired generations of artists, geologists and naturalists and those escaping from the urban cityscapes to seek solace among the white pines that grow out of the rock. Its waterscapes are as legendary as the summer storms that spring out of nowhere investing its treacherous coast with wrecks, stories and tragedies. It is home to a diverse range of plants, fish and other animals including rare reptiles and birds, and sensitive wetlands.

Would a major lottery win really be lucky? ...Choyce asks this fundamental question which will both entertain. And tantalize young adult readers. Highly Recommended”--Canadian Materials Random (ISBN: 9780889954434) ...”what many teens may enjoy even more than the plot specifics...is Joseph’s unpretentious search for meaning that emerges from his “random thoughts,” which range from Malthus to Buddhism to Aristotle to his namesake, Joseph Campbell, who, in describing the mythic hero’s perilous journey, articulates what may feel like coming-of-age concerns for many teens.” --Booklist Into the Wasteland (9780889955226) “Dixon Carter has decided to go off his medications as he wants to see the world without any drugs....This book is a great book for helping (young readers) understand how mental illness affects (a) person and those near to him” --Shelf Life 66 Jeremy Stone (9780889955042) *2014 Governor General’s Literary Awards finalist* “The unique twist in this Canadian verse novel intriguingly blurs the lines between the imagination, the spirit world, and the here and now...The high interest comes...from a blend of familiar social situations --bullying and self harm--with an innovative and refreshing remedy-- the introduction of possible spirit guides from a real-world religious tradition. Classrooms and collections looking for sensitively handled First Nations/Native American material will want to consider this.” --Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books Red Deer Press CLOSING DOWN HEAVEN by Lesley Choyce In this whimsical free-verse novel for young adults, sixteen-year-old Hunter propels himself out of this world – literally – and into the next after pushing his ultralight bike beyond risk. He arrives in what he understands to be heaven, to be met by his celestial guide, name of Archie, who tries to interpret for Hunter the rules of this rather confusing realm. It’s not long before Hunter meets a girl he used to know in Grade 6, name of Trinity, and from this point on his mission is to love her and protect her. Protect her from herself – and also from the nasty character she became involved with before she died of a drug overdose. As part of this mission, Hunter is able to take advantage of a new policy in heaven that allows some recently deceased to return and pick up their lives again. In this way, Hunter tries to prevent the death of Trinity – but it doesn’t work. Complications multiply until both Hunter and Trinity find a redemptive path which gives them both back their real lives and new opportunities. Lesley Choyce has woven a sometimes comic, sometimes moving narrative, focusing on the kinds of mixed-up teens he seems to know so well. In the end love conquers almost everything, but the twists and turns are engaging and illuminating, as Hunter and Trinity find their way to happiness.
