Book excerpt: In his evocative debut novel Carl Nordgren weaves an ambitious tale about the power of dreams, the hope of new beginnings, and the dangers of ghosts who haunt our past.In The 53rd Parallel, book one of the River of Lakes series, Brian Burke emigrates from 1950s West Ireland to the wilderness of Northwest Ontario with his partner Maureen O’Toole. He’s been exiled from his village, and she is running from her IRA past.The dreams of an Ojibway clan elder bring the Irish to the sacred place on the River, where they build The Great Lodge of Innish Cove. The dreams tell of a white man who will destroy the River and another who will protect it. While the Ojibway believe Brian and Maureen are the River’s guardians, Maureen’s IRA connections and the construction of a pulp mill upstream threaten to destroy the newly created Eden before it even begins.Under the watchful eye of a warrior spirit, the clan and their Irish companions risk all they love to protect the River and the promises it holds for their future. The fates of the two groups will intertwine as both seek to ward off the encroachment of the modern world.In The 53rd Parallel readers will find a rich tapestry that weaves together the literary influences of such giants as Peter Matthiessen, Ken Kesey, Jack London, and Ernest Hemingway (who briefly appears in Book 2 of the River of Lakes series).

Download or read book Commissioned Ridings written by John C. Courtney and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2001-05-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did the idea for nonpartisan constituency redistributions come from? What were the principal reasons that Canada turned to arm's-length commissions to design its electoral districts? In Commissioned Ridings John Courtney addresses these questions by examining and assessing the readjustment process in Canada's electoral boundaries. Defining electoral districts as "representational building blocks," Courtney compares federal and provincial electoral readjustments in the last half of the twentieth century, showing how parliamentarians and legislators, boundary commissions, courts, and interested members of the general public debated representational principles to define the purposes of electoral redistricting in an increasingly urban, ethnically mixed federal state such as Canada.

Book excerpt: It is September 11th, 2011 and the President has just taken off in Air Force One from Los Angeles following an overnight stay when they receive a multi-bogie missile launch warning from out in the Atlantic. Projecting back to earth trajectories in remote areas of Canada, the Northern English Channel and a remote area of Poland with two missles each direction seemingly wandering off into outer space, the NATO command structure across four regions all agreed this was likely a terrorist ruse to cause mass panic on the 10th anniversary of that previous fateful day. That is until the clock struck 9:11AM EDT when Air Force One lost all satellite links overhead along with air to ground communications as well. Still very early in the morning on the west coast, they could also see that the electrical grid had been taken out below. What they did not know was that the same thing was happening all across Europe, there had just been ground attacks in Israel and Afghanistan, and the worst news was yet to come.
