Analyzing NASA photographs of the planet Mars, Haas and Saunders offer unprecedented evidence (300 images and illustrations) of monumental edifices from a prehistoric Martian civilization which parallel the sculpture and mythology of ancient cultures from Mesoamerica, Asia, Mesopotamia and Egypt. The implication is staggering — Earth’s history and mankind’s origins could be very different than previously believed.

In this book, Zbigniew Kupczynski documents the important events in both his private and public life, including the occupation in Poland during World War II and his study of art in Paris. He describes the turbulent times during the era of social realism in Polish art when he dared to hang his abstract art on the old walls of the Barbakan, which joined the Old City with the New. Later it became a famous exhibition space and drew many more artists.

Mike Chadwick captures the visual celebration of the city with Vancouver In Focus, an artistic collection of contemporary black-and-white photographs of downtown Vancouver s most striking buildings and landmarks. These arresting images, focusing on architectural details and built form, highlight the successful integration of urban design with Vancouver's much celebrated natural setting. Well-researched information about specific buildings and landmarks provides a framework in which to view the city's downtown neighbourhoods, and accompanying maps of each featured sub-area make it easy for the reader to travel, book in hand, from one end of the city to the other. Chadwick provides an overview on some of the successful planning initiatives that stimulated the redevelopment of older neighbourhoods and touches upon the buildings, public spaces and cultural underpinnings of some of Vancouver s oldest and most scenic places. This highly readable book will appeal to visitors, newcomers and life-long residents. Vancouver In Focus is an invitation to explore the city anew, through Chadwick s fresh perspective and focused lens, and to marvel at Vancouver's emergence into the twenty-first century as a leader in urban design.

The first in a series of four cookbooks for budding chefs with special needs including autism, attention deficit disorder, DownÂ’s Syndrome, AlzheimerÂ’s disease, illiteracy, advanced or young age, The Picture Cookbook is the result of the authorÂ’s four years of efforts teaching her own autistic daughter to cook and bake.

When best friends Sammy Squirrel and Rodney Raccoon decide to explore the world beyond Vancouver s Stanley Park, they are carried on a fantastic adventure. Swept out to sea in a little boat, the woodland creatures journey across the Pacific Ocean all the way to Japan. While their courage and ingenuity are tested at every turn, Sammy and Rodney are met by good fortune and are helped by new friends Salty Seagull, Winifred Whale and a deer called Shika. The wide-eyed travelers help resolve a crisis with the deer in Nara, Japan and by the time they return safely home, have broadened their world and gained a deeper understanding of animal and human interactions. The story of Sammy Squirrel and Rodney Raccoon, though a fictional animal adventure, addresses real-life issues about relationships between animals and people. An illustrated chapter book, and first in the Stanley Park Tales series, it promotes awareness and sensitivity to the needs of others. Stanley Park is a hugely popular locale, famous for its natural beauty and urban proximity. Rowing across oceans is a topical theme, resulting in the connecting of cultures, Duane Lawrence s writing highlights the interconnectedness of life, the sensitivity of living creatures and the value of kindness.

The woman who first brought the issue of spousal abuse to the forefront in Canada presents her memoirs in this interesting, informative, entertaining and often humourous book. Margaret Mitchell is a social activist who pioneered community development in Vancouver, was a courageous feminist MP for Vancouver East, and an international adventuress. Her book is a testament to the struggles and achievements of women MPs, and chronicles her life's adventures and work. As an NDP Member of Parliament, Margaret Mitchell inspired generations of women with her public stand against "wife beating" with her vocal support for women's equality. She spent 14 years in the House of Commons advocating for affordable housing, multiculturalism, and the rights of poor people. Ms Mitchell worked tirelessly on issues that are alive today, including redress for the Chinese Head Tax, and childcare. The Margaret Mitchell Fund for Women, which Ms Mitchell established after her retirement, continues to support women's self-help projects and scholarships. Proceeds of book sales will also accrue to the fund.
