Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Almaguin Highlands, an extensive territory covering a 90 kilometre corridor from Huntsville, north to Callander, west to Dunchurch, and east to the Algonquin Park border, is a land rich with lakes, rivers, and a lively history. Once considered as a site for a First Nations Reserve in the early 1800s, Almaguin became a centre for lumbering and ultimately a year-round mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. This 2-book bundle is Astrid Taim's definitive guide to the region and its heritage. Almaguin: A Highland History offers a wide range of stories from the opening of the area by colonization roads to the first vessels on the Magnetawan River and the courage of the early pioneers. Included are community histories of the many towns, villages, and ghost towns of today; profiles of colourful personalities; as well as interesting and amusing tales of these rugged early times. Almaguin Chronicles explores the relationship between lumbering and settlement throughout the Parry Sound District — the last frontier of this part of Ontario. Throughout, rare archival photographs and excerpts from unpublished memoirs augment the text.

Book excerpt: The Almaguin Highlands is a region that was once coveted for its game, silver birch and majestic white pine. For centuries this area stretched up to the shores of Lake Nipissing and embraced an unbroken forest that remained largely intact save where lakes, streams and beaver meadows punctuated the forest floor. In 1900, the northernmost areas of the District of Parry Sound were still not accessible by even a conventional roadway. Homesteaders, their claims precariously strung along the Pickerel River, relied on the waterway as their transportation route. What must it have been like at the outset for the lumbermen who cut down the white pine? And how did the settlers-those intrepid folk who trekked across the district with only the lumberjack’s blazed trails for a guide-cope in the wilderness? Almaguin Chronicles explores the relationship between lumbering and settlement throughout the Parry Sound District-the last frontier of this part of Ontario. Throughout, rare archival photographs and excerpts from unpublished memoirs augment the text.

Book excerpt: The end is here... The earth must be saved. During the turmoil and chaos of the end of the world, a team of scientists bands together to unravel the mystery of the earth's origin and, with the help of various celestial beings, makes the decision to accept the challenge and the ultimate sacrifices. Professor Thomas and his team of student scientists are stunned when the quantum accelerator in their lab indicates an off-the-charts level of activity, producing a hologram of an other-worldly figure. When it is explained to them that they hold the key to saving the world from certain doom, and that the clock is ticking, they are floored. But as they are drawn more closely into the alien world, their faith and moxie are tested to the utmost, and they must find a way to come together and work for the power of good. All the while, Omegas, the Mega-God who holds a position of authority among the inhabitants of the spiritual world, knows that though everything is in shambles and emotions are running high, he must communicate to the beings of earth and help them to fulfill their destiny. In this deeply-layered and gripping tale, author James Schomburg weaves characters in and out of perilous information and unforgettable adventure, combining quantum physics and biblical facts, both of which will impact the fate of the world. Join Professor Thomas, Omegas, and the entire universe in understanding The Chronicles of Beyond. James Schomburg is currently a construction manager and living in a small town on a quiet cull-de-sac in Indiana. A graduate of the University of Illinois in finance, James is an avid reader of all manner of literature, including physics, the Bible, and health.
