A very good provincial work with status accounts for each of the province's species, enlivened by notes and anecdotes collected by the late Dr. Robie Tufts during his 90+ years of observing birds in N. S. Updated by Dr. Ian McLaren, one of the current deans of N. S. birders, and others. The colour illustrations by Roger Peterson and John Crosby, and line drawings by John Dick are still delightful.

This is an insightful and well-researched biography. Using sources previously kept within the Oates family, including a collection of over three hundred of Captain Oates' letters and portions of his Antarctic diary, Sue Limb and P. Cordingly recreate many details of the explorer's life and experiences which had previously been unknown. The result is an account focusing on Oates' LIFE, rather than his famous DEATH after reaching the South Pole with Scott in 1912. Oates is shown to be not a sublime martyr, but instead an intelligent, remarkable man grounded in reality, whose life ended too soon as a result of the blunders of others.

I have a 72" Chevy Nova and I found everything I was searching for. beautiful pictures included free of charge.

I am an unexperienced dog owner and this book was easy to read. learned a lot.

This small book was very useful to me in my research. It summarizes the CAA very well, and is the most recent work I could find. Lipton is the editor; most writing (as far as I could tell) is by McCarthy, J.E. who is prominent in the field and has written a lot of articles on the subject.

Frank and Joe stop an atomic bomb from destroying a major city. Cool! A must read for any HBC fan!

If your travels ever take you to the often surprising and always beautiful shores of Nova Scotia this book will prove very useful. It was obviously produced as a labour of love with practical knowledge that makes following in the authors foot steps a little easier

This book is amazing, and life altering. It relates Kowalewski's views on human's relationship to her/his environment to history, philosophy, psychology, creativity, spirituality. Each chapter is full of different information that will challenge your old way of thinking and push you to change. It is the kind of book you can keep on your shelf or on your desk or on your table and refer to again and again. I wish it had more concrete suggestions, but it is good for motivation.

This book was written in response to a book by Stephen Sizer against Christian Zionism which contained a short sermon by John Stott. In 'Defending Christian Zionism' David Pawson seeks to refute some of the statements that Sizer makes and state his own case for non-dispensationalist pre-millennial Christian Zionism.

Overall the book is successful. Not, for this reader, in convincing me of his position, but in the way in which he explained the different views, putting some quite complex ideas into readable language. I also appreciated the fact that he commended Stephen Sizer for some of his views, agreeing with him in many aspects, but when disagreeing doing so graciously and showing his own reasoning through biblical examples. Pawson occasionally lapsed into some rather odd examples of anecdotes which he thought proved his case, many of which I found entirely unconvincing, but the overall book was a clear and helpful read, even for someone who does not agree with his views. Despite being a response to another book, this would be a worthwhile introduction to this confusing and often emotive subject.
