HOCKEY HISTORY
FORTHCOMING MARCH 2016
IN THE PRESSURE
OF THE MOMENT
Remembering Gerry McNeil
A book for all hockey fans!
David McNeil
Gerry McNeil was the number one goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens
hockey team from 1950 to 1954 and won two Stanley Cups with the club.
This book discusses his career, wedged as it was, between two Hall of
Famers – Bill Durnan and Jacques Plante. From his entry into hockey
as a teenager to his incredible performance of over 218 minutes of shut
out play against the Detroit Red Wings, Gerry McNeil’s is the story of an
extraordinary Canadian.
As readers follow McNeil’s journey from understudy to mainstay with the
Habs, including four consecutive appearances in the Stanley Cup final,
they’re also reminded of how different the game was for fans and players
then. This book will appeal to any fan of the NHL’s “Original Six Golden
Era” with its look back at a time when hockey was considered “pure” and
only captured “in the moment” before technology gave us endless “instant
replays”. Imagine - only a radio broadcast, a newspaper story and a few
professional photographs. Fans came to see Richard battle Howe. Fans
saw the overtime Leaf goal by Barilko on McNeil. Fans knew the name of
every player because there were only six teams and trades were rare. This
is a slice in time from the “Original Six” era when players travelled by train
and fans wore suits and dresses.
The Montreal Habs have one of the strongest fan bases in the NHL and
any book related to the Habs is considered to have a built in audience that
spans the country. Written by a son who lived the achievements of the
Habs through his father’s first-hand accounts, David McNeil’s book offers
an insider’s view of what it was like to play with The Rocket, Elmer Lach,
Dickie Moore and against many legendary players of the 50’s such as
Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay.
About the author:
David McNeil is the son of Gerry McNeil.
Like his father, David was born in
Quebec City and now lives in Halifax,
Nova Scotia where he is a Professor
of English at Dalhousie University. He
teaches among other topics Sports
Literature and Culture: Hockey. He is the
author of published articles on hockey
literature and hockey in general.

The literary road has been very well traveled, but it’s safe to
say that there has never been a hockey book quite like [this]. A
cultural critique, a meditation on the art and iconography of sports
photography, and also a son’s memoir of his hockey-playing
father, it is at once scholarly and moving. You may know the
name Gerry McNeil, Montreal Canadiens’ goaltender, Stanley Cup
winner, and supporting player on some of the greatest teams ever
assembled, but after reading this you will come to fully appreciate
him, and his hockey-playing kin, who are so much a part of the
fabric of our national game.

FIRST NATIONS HISTORY
Available April 2016
Mapping My Way Home
A Gitxsan History
Neil J. Sterritt
Today the adjacent villages of Gitanmaax and Hazelton form one of the most
picturesque communities in all of western Canada—a tiny, tourism mecca
nestled in Gitxsan territory at the foot of an iconic mountain in the heart
of the Skeena watershed. But 150 years ago these neighbouring villages
were the economic hub of the north when packers, traders, explorers,
miners, surveyors and hundreds of tons of freight passed through from
Port Essington on the coast east to the Omineca gold fields, from Quesnel
north to Telegraph Creek.
Mapping My Way Home traces the journeys of the European explorers
and adventurers who came to take advantage of the opportunities that
converged at the junction of the Skeena and Bulkley rivers. The author,
Gitsxan leader Neil Sterritt, also shares the stories of his people, stories
both ancient and recent, to illustrate their resilience when faced with the
challenges the newcomers brought.
And finally he shares his own journey from the wooden sidewalks of 1940s
Hazelton to the world of international mining and back again to the Gitxsan
ancestral village of Temlaham where he helped his people fight for what
had always been theirs in the ground-breaking Delgamuukw court case.
It’s British Columbia history, local history, family history and Gitxsan history.
The book also includes a chapter on the history of BC’s land issues and a
detailed description of Neil’s involvement in the Delgamuukw court case.

CANADA
Text by Shelagh Rogers
Photographs by Mike Grandmaison
In this breathtaking photographic journey across Canada, Mike
Grandmaison portrays a country whose seasons are variable and
changing, reflecting the many moods of nature in all its glory. Whether it’s
the sight of an iceberg scudding past Newfoundland’s craggy coastline,
the yellow expanse of prairie fields in the autumn, or the melancholic
beauty of a setting sun behind a mountain range, Grandmaison’s
photography captures the essence of a country where much of its
wilderness remains untouched.
With over 200 alluring colour images, and a glossary with the
photographer’s heart-felt descriptions of each, you can see Canada’s
rich history and culture, without leaving home. Broadcaster Shelagh
Rogers complements Mike Grandmaison’s photography with text that
embraces this country – a place that defies description – but can be
experienced by visiting its stunning beauty in the pages of this stunning
coffee table book.
About the Authors:
Shelagh Rogers has been heard on CBC Radio for over 20 years and currently
lives in Victoria, BC where she also serves as the Chancellor at the University
of Victoria.

Family Favourites
By Noorbanu Nimji and Karen Anderson
Noorbanu Nimji’s first book earned a reputation as “the bible” of Ismaili cuisine
and her series has had combined sales of over 250,000 copies. This is the
fourth cookbook for Nimji and her first collaboration with Calgary-based food
writer Karen Anderson.
Cooks will feel they’ve been invited into Nimji’s kitchen for a tour of her pantry
as they linger over beautifully photographed and carefully explained spices
and specialty ingredients. Tips and techniques - that can only come from a
master with a lifetime of experience - are highlighted so that readers will feel
Nimji is at their side while they prepare the 200 plus recipes in the book. Mouthwatering Ismaili dishes that will become instant classics for home cooks new to
this cuisine include the following:
• Bhajias – chickpea flour vegetable pakoras
• Kuka Paka – chicken, eggs and potatoes in a subtly spiced coconut cream
• Chana wagharia – chickpeas and eggplant in a spicy tamarind sauce
• Bharazi and mandazi – pigeon pea curry with East African coconut donuts
• Badam Pak – a creamy cardamom and almond fudge
Starting with soups and snacks, the book progresses through step-by-step photos of samosa wrapping before three chapters of
main dishes like Nimji’s famous Butter Chicken and lesser known Beef Nihari with a new chapter on Indian tandoori grilling. Vegetables, daal, Indian breads and rice dishes, chutneys and specialty Indian sweets round out the content. Many recipes are vegetarian and/or gluten-free and all original recipes have been re-tested and re-written to reflect the increased availability of ingredients.
About the Authors
Noorbanu Nimji was born in Nairobi, Kenya and immigrated to Calgary, Canada in 1974. She began teaching cooking at the request of the displaced people of her Ismaili culture who were fleeing East Africa during Idi Amin’s reign of terror. She is believed to
be the first to document the unique flavours of this cuisine.
Karen Anderson first took a cooking class from Nimji in 1994. They have been working together - recipe testing and teaching
Indian cooking - since 2006. As owner of Calgary Food Tours Inc., Anderson has led several cuisine and culture trips to India and
has written about food, travel and culture for print, radio and television since 2007. From working with Nimji and many chefs across
the Indian sub-continent, Anderson brings a unique ability to illuminate the guiding principles of this complex cuisine so that even
the most novice cook can make it and progress in their abilities. Anderson says she’s living proof it is possible.

BORN to the WILD
Journals of a National Park Warden in the Canadian Rockies
Rob Kaye
This true adventure story chronicles Rob Kaye's boyhood adventures growing up in
Jasper National Park and his adult experiences as a national park warden patrolling the
vast mountain wilderness that he called home. Kaye gives a vivid account of wardens'
lives in the park. He describes backcountry encounters with wolves, bears, bighorns, and
other wildlife, as well as accounts of survival and tales of adversity. Kaye relates heartfelt
and humorous stories about the backcountry wardens' most trusted companions—the
riding and pack horses that shared their high country travels. The author's passion for
the preservation and protection of wilderness and wildlife is a theme that runs throughout
the book. In reflecting on his career with the Warden Service, he illustrates how the few

A graphic novel about BC history by Canadian artist Michael Kluckner
TOSHIKO
Michael Kluckner
A graphic novel is a new direction for well known Vancouver artist, Michael Kluckner. Here, he re-visits
a theme first made famous by Joy Kogawa’s classic, Obasan. Although this story is very different, it is
from the point of view of two teenagers faced with themes of internment, wartime fears and issues of
race, morality and social class a lifetime ago.
During World War II, Japanese-Canadians were exiled to the Interior of BC from their homes on the
Coast. Such is the fate of Toshiko and her cousin, who land on a farm near a small, hostile town. While in
high school, Toshiko discovers that not all residents see them as the enemy. One farm boy in particular
from her graduating class is curious about the plight of the Japanese-Canadians and a friendship
develops that soon blossoms into a kind of Romeo-and-Juliet romance. When their relationship becomes
a scandal, he is thrown out of his house and sets off with Toshiko for Vancouver, where they attempt to
establish a life together before the harsh reality of wartime Canada closes in on them..

Ainslie Manson • Illustrated by Mary Baker
Who doesn't love giraffes? A young girl discovers a giraffe that has escaped from captivity.
Susanna keeps her as a pet, cutting a hole in her second story bedroom floor. At night
Geranium is able to sleep with her head on Susanna’s pillow. They go for walks, but the

returned to her homeland in Africa. Suzanna sees a familiar sailboat moored in the cove, and
it comes to pass that the captain of the sailboat helps Susanna to return Geranium to Africa.
On the trip, there is a fierce windstorm, but Geranium’s long neck saves the day when the
mast is lost in the storm. Once in Africa, Geranium is reunited with her herd…

“A call to arms for a fresh approach to the most fundamental right of passage – from birth to citizenship that
ought to be easily claimable.” PETER C. NEWMAN
THE LOST CANADIANS
A Struggle for Citizenship Rights, Equality and Identity
Don Chapman
When Don Chapman was six years old, he was stripped of his Canadian citizenship, thanks
to an arcane provision of the Canadian Citizenship Act. Years later, he was stunned to
discover the fact, and thus began his David-and-Goliath battle to change Canada’s archaic
citizenship laws. He’s since become the voice for 1 million other Lost Canadians, whose
ranks include such Canadian icons as Roméo Dallaire, Frank Gehry, and Nobel Prize–
winner Willard Boyle. Here, Chapman describes his fight with Ottawa, and the frustrations
and rewards of trying to change an immutable system. He renders in heartbreaking detail the
stories of Lost Canadians who’ve had their identities torn from them, thanks to labyrinthine
legislation, bumbling bureaucracy, and disinterested politicians. Lost Canadians is a
revelatory story that could well be the most important public affairs book of the year.

of misplaced desire take them behind the picturesque façade of Smithers, a mountain town in northern British
Columbia. This is the nineties, before cell phones and the internet, and they need to rely on paper files,
face-to-face meetings and old-fashioned telephones to unravel a tangled web of festering grudges, phony
mineral claims, blackmail, and murder. It may be spring, but what the melting snow reveals brings death in
this first mystery from a seasoned poet, novelist and short story writer.
