Self-diagnosis is a natural instinct - more natural to some than to others. However, all of us owe it to ourselves to be aware of our health and that of our family and to know the early-warning signs of disease. Doctors expect to work as a team with their patients, diagnosis is simplified if patients can describe their symptoms accurately and knowedgeably. This book is designed to help readers do exactly that, as well as enabling them to make up their own minds about whether mysterious symptoms might really be something to worry about. The book covers the range of symptoms, and combinations of symptoms, putting them into perspective by telling which diagnosis is probable, which possible and which rare.

In this delightful dockside reader, one of Canada's great writers of the outdoors celebrates the Canadian cottage experience. 
Written in journal form, The Weekender takes us through a typical year -the pleasures, great and small, and the occasional pains-of cottage living. From that first, essential opening-day plunge into a still-frigid lake to the last leap in at the summer's end, and everything in between, The Weekender reprises some of MacGregor's classic writings from Cottage Life, The Globe and Mail, and the National Post, and includes some new material, too. It's the perfect read for the cottage lover in all of us, a book to return to again and again, in summer and all year long.

Winner of The CAA–Birks Family Foundation Award for Biography The 2000 Ottawa-Carlton Book Award The (U.S.) Rutstrum Award for Best Wilderness Book “A portrait of a true original.”—The Hamilton Spectator In 1929, at the age of twenty-two, Duncan MacGregor, the son of a lumberman, great-grandson of a voyageur, and an avid reader and baseball fan, headed off into the largest tract of preserved bush in the world: Ontario’s Algonquin Park. When he got there, he was home for the rest of his life. From the true nature of fishing to the harsh realities of raising a family in the woods, from the role of fear in the bush to the small nuances of family relationships, A Life in the Bush is painted on a canvas both vast and richly detailed. A story that captures the tough physical demands, the rich life of the senses, and the unselfconscious freedom that comes from living apart from town and city. In this beautifully crafted memoir of his father, Roy MacGregor paints an intimate portrait of an unusual man and spins a spellbinding tale of a boy’s complex relationship with his father. He also evokes, perhaps for the first time in Canadian literature, the bush the way bush people see it, an insider's view of life in the totemic Canadian wilderness.
