Repaired; Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Moderately Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled. A personal insight into a tumultuous era by Canada's most popular historian. NATIONAL BESTSELLER. SYNOPSIS: "MY TIMES HAVE BEEN THE MOST EXCITING OF ALL TIMES." For fifty years Canadians have had a standing date with Pierre Berton - in Maclean's and The Toronto Star, on the TV screen in Front Page Challenge and The Pierre Berton Show, and in each of his successive bestsellers. In his passion for truth and justice, he has taken on issues few others dared to touch: sex, religion, racism, feminism, national hypocrisy, civil liberties. Now he tells the stories behind the stories. Berton has lively anecdotes about such figures as John Diefenbaker, Brian Mulroney, and his television show guests, from Lenny Bruce to Malcolm X. He watches the Berlin Wall go up and hears the nightly rattle of gunfire in the ghost city of Seoul. From enfant terrible to national icon, Berton has seen half a century of Canadian history in a changing world. My Times is both a page-turner and an important source of contemporary history. - and - "LIFE IS A SERIES OF ACCIDENTAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND I'VE HAD MY SHARE" In My Times Pierre Berton remembers: Key moments in the history of Khrushchev's Moscow, Mao's China, Egypt, Japan, and Budapest; John Kennedy's historic triumph at the 1960 Democratic Convention; The Red Scare of the fifties; The essay on adolescent sex that got him fired from Maclean's; The Centennial Year and Canada's new nationalism; The raunchy interview tape that aired accidentally; The mystery of John Diefenbaker's father; The adventure behind the tape he smuggled out of Beirut; The insanities of filming Klondike in Hollywood; The story of his happily-ever-after marriage and family life; And much more.

SYNOPSIS: THEY COULD SURVIVE ANYTHING IN THE ARCTIC WILDERNESS - EXCEPT THE WHITE MAN. They were rich, the caribou were abundant. Their dogs were many and strong. The children in the tents were happy, and there was never any fear of going hungry. Then came the ruthless white man's civilization. And with it came slaughter of the herds, starvation of the flesh, and torture of the spirit. The Desperate People. Courageous, proud in their age-old way of life, and now fighting to save themselves from extinction. Farley Mowat, author of such distinguished books as People of the Deer, Never Cry Wolf, A Whale for the Killing, The Snow Walker, and Sea of Slaughter, has long been eloquent in his indictment of man's exploitation of human and non-human life on this planet. He was born in Belleville, Ontario, in 1921 and began writing for a living in 1949 after spending two years in the Arctic. He has lived in or visited almost every part of Canada and many other lands. More than ten million copies of Farley Mowat's books have been translated and published in hundreds of editions in over forty countries. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: THEY WERE IN HARMONY WITH THE LAND BUT THEY WERE ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION. Sixty years ago, the Ihalmiut numbered 7,000. When Farley Mowat visited them, their population had dwindled to forty. For two years, Mowat shared their hard life - the bleak winters, the shortages of food, the fervent struggle to withstand the intrusion of white men - and came to understand them. Here, Farley Mowat indicts those who have abused the Ihalmiut. But, foremost, he pays tribute to the last of the People of the Deer - the proud, valiant Eskimos, desperately trying to survive. Born in Belleville, Ontario in 1921, Mowat grew up in Belleville, Trenton, Windsor, Saskatoon, Toronto and Richmond Hill as his librarian father moved a household that included a miniature menagerie around the country; those early adventures were chronicled in Owls in the Family and The Dog Who Wouldn't Be. During World War II Mowat served in the army, entering as a private and emerging with the rank of captain. The experience of battle seared the imagination of the young soldier and ultimately gave rise to And No Birds Sang, a gripping eyewitness account of combat in Italy and Sicily. Following his discharge, Mowat renewed his interest in the Canadian Arctic, an area he had first visited as a young man with an ornithologist uncle. Since 1949 he has lived in or visited almost every part of Canada and many other lands, including the distant regions of Siberia. He has said of himself, "I am a Northern Man I like to think I am a reincarnation of the Norse saga men and, like them, my chief concern is with the tales of men, and other animals, living under conditions of natural adversity." His experiences have inspired such works as People of the Deer, The Desperate People, Never Cry Wolf, A Whale for the Killing and The Boat Who Wouldn't Float. Farley Mowat's books have been published in over twenty languages in more than forty countries. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

In the predawn hours of May 28, 1981--as her terrified sons watched from across the hall--Christine Jean Schultz was brutally murdered in the bedroom of her suburban Milwaukee home. Less than one month later twenty-on-year-old ex-policewoman and Playboy bunny Lawrencia "Bambi" Bembenek was arrested for the slaying of her husband's ex-wife. A jury of her peers found her guilty of murder in the first degree. She was sentenced to life. After eight years Bambi Bembenek escaped and fled to Canada. And on October 14, 1991, a Milwaukee judge ordered a secret investigation into the strange circumstances leading up to Bambi's arrest and conviction. What really happened? Did Bambi Bembenek cold-bloodedly kill Christine Schultz? Or was she framed by a corrupt Milwaukee police department? Award-winning journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kris Radish supplies a chilling portrait of a woman who has become a symbol for injustice with a poignant message: "This could happen to anyone." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: AFTER YEARS OF OBSERVING US, ABDUCTING US, AND EXPERIMENTING UPON US, THEY HAVE FINALLY MADE THEIR FIRST MISTAKE. As the sun sets on a lonely Connecticut farmhouse the shadows come, gliding through windows, sliding up walls, enveloping Sarah Gilmour as she searches frantically for her missing child. Then the shadows, with their dark, inhuman eyes, are everywhere, surrounding her as she sobs silently, realizing with horror that they have taken her daughter once again. And that now they have come back--for her. Using as his basis the unnerving scenarios described by those who claim to have been abducted by UFOs, Garfield Reeves-Stevens constructs a thriller as gripping and suspenseful as anything told in Intruders or Communion. It is the story of Steven and Sarah Gilmour, a man and woman who must overcome staggering odds and incredible revelations to save their daughter, themselves--and ultimately their world. Narrated with the sure voice of a gifted storyteller, Nighteyes is a mesmerizing tale that draws readers inexorably toward the terrifying conclusion--a conclusion that portends the end of both the human race and civilization as we know it. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: THE BOOK THAT BREAKS THE MAFIA CODE OF SILENCE No organization in the Canadian underworld has ever been more profitable or more feared than the Cotroni crime family. In its heyday, the Cotroni Mob stretched from Montreal to Marseilles.from the blood-streaked streets of Brooklyn to the sun-baked hills of Sicily. Now, in a gripping account based on wiretapped conversations s well as numerous interviews with street-tough wiseguys and deep-cover cops, journalist Pete Edwards exposes the savage, cynical inner workings of a Mafia empire. Edwards recounts the bloody rise and rule of godfather Vic Cotroni, an illiterate professional wrestler who became the most powerful Canadian mobster of this century. He takes us to Montreal nightclubs where million-dollar deals were cut as quickly as an informer's throat. He reveals the rackets and the stone-cold killers who ran them, men who dealt in drugs and death, pornography, prostitution, and politicians. Blood Brothers--a book as terrifying as it is real--brings you as close to the Mafia as you ever want to get. Peter Edwards has an M.A. in journalism from the University of Western Ontario. He has written for many newspapers and is presently the labour reporter for the Toronto Star. He is also the author of Waterfront Warlord: The Life and Violent Times of Hal C. Banks, and is a researcher/consultant for an upcoming television documentary on organized crime. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
