Clear plastic front with paper backing, approx. 410 pages. From the Publisher: Originally published as Hokkaido Highway Blues, with limited distribution in Canada, Will Ferguson's classic book about Japan, for all fans of the bestselling Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw. With the same fervour they have for outlandish game shows and tiny gadgets, the Japanese go nuts each spring when the cherry blossoms sweep from island to island towards the country's northerly tip. Will Ferguson was celebrating the event in the standard fashion. And after way too much sake he announced he would be the first person in recorded history to follow the blossoms progress end to end. To make it a challenge worth doing, he decided to hitchhike all the way: relying on the kindness of some very weird and wonderful strangers...(*Note: due to heavy weight, extra postage will be required); 4to 11" - 13" tall, Near Fine Stock number: 4184.

Imprint: Douglas & Mcintyre, 2001 Very nice condition - pages are clean and unmarked. Cover has light scuffing and a little edge/corner wear. ; 8vo; "As a guidebook, How to Be a Canadian contains "a wealth of information gathered from fact-filled articles that [the authors] sort of remember reading somewhere, " but frankly, the facts are there as a framework for a wicked sense of humour. The jokes, which fill every page, are sometimes juvenile: "There are 30,000,000 people in Canada-- all of whom have, at some point, frozen their tongues to the side of a flagpole. " They are sometimes pointedly amusing: "Often, when the UN needs a cereal box translated, they call in the Canadians, who parachute out of stealth bombers clutching boxes of Capitaine Crounche. " And they are often laugh-out-loud, fall-out-of-bed funny: "There is the assumption that Canada has only two seasons: Winter and Not Winter...In fact, Canada has no fewer than six distinct seasons: Tax; Hockey; More Hockey; Still More Hockey; Summer (also known as the July Long Weekend) ; and finally Good God, Isn't the Hockey Season Over by Now? !" ...."

Imprint: Douglas & Mcintyre, 2003 Signed by author on title page. Excellent, near new condition, slight soiling to outer edge of pages, and very slight wrinkling to part of upper edge of jacket. "In 1959, just one step ahead of the law, Ian Ferguson's parents left the sophisticated big-city life of Edmonton for Fort Vermilion - once a fur-trapping frontier town, now a remote aboriginal settlement in northernmost Alberta. There, Ian and his six brothers and sisters grew up without indoor plumbing, electricity, central heating, or even a radio. Beginning with the dramatic events surrounding his birth (including a paddlewheel ferry heading for destruction, a legendary rowboat trip, and a life-and-death race against time) , the richly recalled events of Ferguson's life and a vivid array of characters make for a taut and appealingly idiosyncratic tale.

From Library Journal: Therapist, spiritual director, theologian, and teacher, Fischer explores ways that new approaches to direction can heal and empower women, bridging the gap between inchoate experiences and traditional meanings assigned by men. Some topics here are standard (paradigms of growth, images of God, prayer styles) , while others deal with women's special concerns (issues of power, anger, and sexist violence) , but all are seen through a nonradical feminist lens. Testimonies of Fischer's directees, biblical stories, and reflective prayer exercises enrich this thoughtful work. (350noto? ); 8vo; 215 pages, Very Good Stock number: 5831. ISBN: 0809130181

Imprint: Riverhead Trade, 1999 Excellent condition, clean & unmarked. Very light wear to cover, price sticker on rear. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 208 pages; Debbie Ford believes that we each hold within us a trace of every human characteristic that exists, the capacity for every human emotion. We are born with the ability to express this entire spectrum of characteristics. But, Ford points out, our families and our society send us strong messages about which ones are good and bad. So when certain impulses arise, we deny them instead of confronting them, giving them a healthy voice, then letting them go. It is to these feelings that Ford turns our attention, these parts of our selves that don't fit the personae we have created for the rest of the world. She shows us the effects of living in the dark, of keeping all our supposedly unsavory impulses under wraps. We find ourselves disproportionately frustrated and angry at the selfishness of friends, the laziness of colleagues, the arrogance of siblings. When we are unable to reconcile similar impulses in ourselves, Ford explains, we waste our own energy judging others instead of empathizing. But most important, we deny ourselves the power and freedom of living authentically. Through the stories and exercises in The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford shows us not only how to recognize our hidden emotions, but also how to find the gifts they offer us. The very impulses we most fear may be the key to what is lacking in our lives. [185-osl], Near Fine Stock number: 10990. ISBN: 1573227358

Imprint: Camden House, 1988 Great condition - only light wear overall. Interior clean & unmarked, a little sticker residue on front. 160. Full color - close-up photos throughout. A bird book like no other. Concentrating on behaviour rather than species identification, the book delves into why birds act the way they do. It will raise the pleasure of birding to new heights. Starting with scenes as common as a swampy rookery of blue herons or the antics of a nesting nuthatch, the author adds new meaning to the everyday experiences of birders around the world. Learn that: blue herons live in colonies so that members can follow the colony's most successful hunters on forays rather than risk failure on solo expeditions; female tree swallows commit mass murder against neighbouring offspring and females during nesting season; songbirds adjust their music to suit the acoustical characteristics of the surrounding terrain, and much more. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall, Near Fine Stock number: 5605.
