books by Douglas & McIntyre     books:       The Art of Emily Carr5 reviews Doris Shadbolt Douglas & McIntyre, 1987 A West Coast Vision If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of artists on this continent (North America), specifically the West Coast, I'd recommend this erudite volume on the work of Emily Carr. Emily Carr was a late-bloomer, but when she found her own she produced haunting canvases of her encounters with Northwest Coast Native Art, specifically totems. This was followed by strong formalized images of ...             Diggers and Dump Trucks8 reviews Douglas & Mcintyre Ltd, 1991 For kids who can't get enough of construction trucks My son received this as a Christmas gift when he was little over a year old. It has been one of the few books that he wants read to him time and time again. The pictures are realistic enough for a toddler to identify them and the wording brief enough to hold a toddler's attention span. The only drawback is the book is not a board book so some care must be given to survive ownership by a ...             The Lesser Blessed: A Novel5 reviews Richard Van Camp Douglas & McIntyre, 2004 Awesome! "THE LESSER BLESSED is easily one of the most truthful, painful, powerful novels I've ever read." -Joseph Bruchac             Light at the Edge of the World: A Journey Through the Realm of Vanishing Cultures12 reviews Wade Davis Douglas & McIntyre, 2007 Wade Davis is lyrical . . . As far as I'm concerned, Davis is a five-star writer across the board. Not only does this man have more scientific knowledge than he knows what to do with, but he writes about people and plant life with equal flawless prose. This is a good 'starter' book for those who have not yet read him (or, who only heard of "The Serpent and the Rainbow"). His intense interest in, profound respect for ...             Sea Kayaking9 reviews John Dowd Douglas & Mcintyre Ltd, 1987 One of the best books on Sea Kayaking that I have ever read! I am not an avid reader, and I usually lose interest in a book and place it on the shelf mid way through if the author doesn't keep my interest. John Dowd had not only captivated my interest, but made it hard for me to put it down. Some of the best and informative information about Sea Kayaking that I have read yet. It should be a "Must Read" for any person involved in the sport of Sea Kayaking, ...             The Fire Chef: Fast Grilling & Slow Cooking on the Barbecue5 reviews David Veljacic Douglas & McIntyre, 2001 Gives you in one book what others do in two or three books. This book gives you basic and advanced information about grilling. He provides easy recipes that are a variety of foods to suit everyone for every purpose. He does not give you recipes with hard to find spices or materials. I used several of the recipes and they turned out great. His experience came through in the instructions for the preparation and were very easy to follow. And to top ...             Mythic Beings : Spirit Art of the Northwest Coast5 reviews Gary R. Wyatt Douglas & McIntyre, Limited, 1999 Impressive Book on Northwest Coast Art Mythic Beings is an unassuming but impressive book. The major organizing theme is that spirit art captures the rich cultural and aesthetic traditions that permeate regional artistic expression. Northwest Coast art can be intimidating because it has a complex cosmology and iconography. Wyatt, however, makes this complexity accessible by using two underlying principles. The universe ...             The Third Magic7 reviews Welwyn Wilton Katz Douglas & Mcintyre Ltd, 1988 An emotional ride from the present to the past. It was amazing. I read the book quite a while a go, but the images that I pictures were so vivid and the description of the battle of cruelties between the two magics were so imaginative - 5 stars way up!!!             Magnetic North - A Trek Across Canada5 reviews David Halsey Douglas & McIntyre, 1990 A boy, his dog & a wonderful adventure This is a marvelous adventure story with a tragic aftermath. David Halsey was 21 years old when he set out to cross Canada's remote wilderness by foot, canoe, and dog sled, a 4000 mile journey that would take him several years to complete. For most of the trip, he was accompanied by a friend and a dog named Coy, who wandered into Halsey's wilderness camp in British Columbia one night, and ...             Doris Dingle Crafty Cat Activity Book4 reviews Helen Levchuck Douglas Mcintyre/see Pgw Fantastic Kitty Fun This is a great book with excellent and little or not cost games and toys for cats. I have tried 4 games already and I just recieved the book. Pita Puss had a great time! and I did too. He really enjoyed the shoe box ride and he already plays in water so the bobbing for vegi's was a big hit. If you have a cat this is a must for you. Know anyone with a cat they will really enjoy this book as a ...             Souvenir of Canada 24 reviews Douglas Coupland Douglas & McIntyre, 2004 Clearly Canadian (and better than the first!) This SECOND collection of imagery and musings from Famous Canadian Writer Douglas Coupland didn't always strike a chord with me. I'm from a different part of the country, with different history and experiences, of course. Yet enough was oddly, eerily familiar to convince me that there are few young writers better qualified to comment on the State of Our Nation than Coupland. Not as ...             Game Wars: The Undercover Pursuit of Wildlife Poachers4 reviews Marc Reisner Douglas & McIntyre Ltd, 1991 A wake-up call for all who appreciate American wildlife. Reisner is an exhaustive researcher, who then parlays massive factual data into readable, entertaining (sometimes disturbing) prose. I found Game Wars to be more reader-friendly than Cadillac Desert in that the book moved faster and showed me a very human side of wildlife law enforcement. Through Reisner, I was taken along on numerous exciting U.S. Fish & Wildlife missions, including several ...             County of Birches4 reviews Judith Kalman Douglas & Mcintyre Ltd, 1998 A wonderfully enjoyable book. If "Gone by the wind" is describing the end of an era in the American way of life, so "The county of Birches" describes the end of a era in that part of the world. In addition though, "The County of Birches" continues in describing life in a new world, and how the roots and fears of the old world intrude and mark life even in the second generation. The book is written with sensitivity,warmth ...             The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson: A True Story of Love and Murder4 reviews Lois Simmie Douglas & McIntyre, 1997 this book is alright All the letters and stuff were pretty boring to read. And the suicide attempt scene is probably the most horrible thing I've ever read and will scar me for life but this book was actually pretty...good. Especially since I hail from Regina, I reccommend this book to all the Skatchies             Village of the Small Houses: A Memoir of Sorts4 reviews Ian Ferguson Douglas & McIntyre, 2004 A memorable case of growing up among lovable misfits Written and narrated by author Ian Ferguson, Village Of The Small Houses: A Memoir Of Sorts is an hilarious and highly recommended account of growing up poor in the far north when in 1959, just ahead of the law, Ferguson's con-artist father Hank headed up north in a delapidated Mercury Zephyr with his pregnant wife, Louise. Hank got as far as isolated Fort Vermilion where he passed himself off as ...             The Raven Steals the Light4 reviews Robert Bringhurst Douglas Mcintyre, 1996 A Haida legend primer I brought this book on a trip to Vancouver and Victoria and read it in the evenings after returning to my hotels. As a European American, I found it indispensable to understanding much of the art I saw on vacation (especially Totem Poles). This book relates many of the best known Haida stories, including those of the noble, tragic Bear; the intrepid, versatile human fisherman-hunter Nanasigmit ...             The Last Heathen: Encounters with Ghosts and Ancestors in Melanesia4 reviews Charles Montgomery Douglas & McIntyre, 2004 magic By the time a little packet of sand gets opened on page 2 of the book, I got swept up in a tale much grander than the postcard idyll of the cover seems to suggest. The narrator travels tough terrain and has adventures of the kind best experienced in an armchair; he tells them eloquently and passionately; but the real magic of the book is how these experiences are woven into larger and deeper ...             The Immortal Beaver: The World's Greatest Bush Plane4 reviews Sean Rossiter Douglas & McIntyre, 2005 He got d' Beaver Fever All aircraft are good, or else they wouldn't land safely; only a few become legends, such as the Douglas DC - 3 and the de Havilland Beaver, the world's greatest bush plane built in Canada at Downsview, Ontario, from 1947 to 1967. The Beaver was a typically Canadian project, it is rugged, reliable, durable and practical for people who were haulers of water and hewers of wood. It is the ...              search for books activity, ancestors, barbecue, beaver, birches, blessed, cooking, cultures, diggers, encounters, ghosts, greatest, grilling, heathen, houses, immortal, journey, kayaking, magnetic, melanesia, northwest, poachers, pursuit, secret, souvenir, through, undercover, vanishing, village, wildlife books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
