As one of the Seven Wonders of the World - not to mention the honeymoon capital of North America - Niagara Falls is indisputably one of this continent's most important tourist destinations. For the millions of visitors - year-in, year-out - and for residents of the area, author Hans Tammemagi's Exploring Niagara turns a wide-angle lens on one of the most diverse and fascinating corners of Canada and in so doing opens our eyes to the fact that as wondrous as it is, there is a great deal more to the Niagara region than the Falls. Covering both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, and all within about a 30-minute drive of the Falls, the book unveils more than 50 tours and day trips to and through places of interest in the Niagara region. Descriptions of the trips themselves - varying from under an hour to several days - detail the historical and geographical highlights of each destination, and offer up a variety, suggesting tours that can be taken by car, by bicycle, or on foot. Indices and appendixes steer the reader to a wide variety of special interests guaranteed to satisfy all tastes. Geographical phenomenon, theatre and arts festivals, wine tours, conservation areas, bird watching, hiking, re-enactments of the War of 1812 - they're all here and more. Visit Niagara Falls, the Welland and Erie Canals, Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Niagara Escarpment, Queenston Heights and everything in between. More than 18 maps round out this text making it the perfect companion for real or armchair adventure.

The untold story of abandonment and rescue of the region's most architecturally significant home is recounted in vivid detail. The structure on Jewett Parkway is revered as an outstanding example of Wright's Prairie House ideal. Written by art historian Marjorie L. Quinlan, the book traces the landmark's topsy-turvy past using anecdotes, color photos and detailed architectural plans.

Imagine spending $4 billion in today's dollars to dig a ditch four-feet deep and 40-feet wide. Is it any wonder why Thomas Jefferson described the concept of a manmade waterway linking the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean as 'little short of madness?' But as laborers slowly clawed shovels of earth from the ground in a 363-mile trek across the wilderness of New York State, they achieved one of the greatest engineering feats in American history. Oddly enough, it was accomplished entirely without the aid of a single professional engineer! Despite its shallow depth, the Erie Canal carries a deep historical legacy. It was in canal towns like Lockport and Tonawanda where the doors of the American frontier were unlocked. A resurgence in interest in the Erie Canal has prompted Tonawanda journalist Dan Murphy to write a new book that is filled with riveting anecdotes and little-known facts. The Erie Canal: The Ditch that Opened a Nation is both entertaining and educational. The book includes more than 20 photos and a number of special user-friendly features. Scattered throughout the text are special boxes that answer 'Frequently Asked Questions' about the canal. How do those intriguing lift bridges operate? What happens to the canal in the winter? How deep is the canal today? There are also special sections that highlight 'Little Known Canal Facts.' For example, not many people have heard the strange tale about the Medina fisherman who caught a piranha in the canal. Or that the creator of the 'Wizard of Oz' lived in a canal town.

This sequel to Shadows of the Western Door poses some facinating questions: Does a historic curse linger over the Niagara Frontier? Is a mystical treasure, a spiritual energy force, buried somewhere in the local landscape? Was Buffalo set up and designed by occult societies? Leave it to Mason Winfield to lead us on yet another journey to mystery places, haunted sites and hidden -sometimes forbidden - historical legacies. Anyone seeking the mysterious underside of our region, including dozens of good old-fashioned ghosts, need look no further.
