Captain James Cook is justly famous for his explorations of the southern Pacific
Ocean, but the exploration of the northern Pacific and the Arctic are equally significant. On his third and final great voyage, Cook surveyed the northwest American
coast, hoping to find the legendary Northwest Passage. While dreams of a passage
proved illusory, Cook’s journey produced some of the finest charts, collections, and
anthropological observations of his career. It also helped establish British relations
with Russia and opened the door to the hugely influential maritime fur trade.
This collection of essays from an international and interdisciplinary group
of scholars—including former Vancouver Maritime Museum executive director
James P. Delgado; Canada’s pre-eminent naval historian, Barry Gough; Richard
Inglis, former head of anthropology at the Royal British Columbia Museum;
and University of Alberta historian I.S. MacLaren—uses artifacts, charts, and
records of the encounters between Native peoples and explorers to tell the story of
this remarkable voyage. The book also provides new insights into Cook’s legacy
and his influence on subsequent expeditions in the Pacific Northwest. Finally,
the collection uses Cook’s voyage as a springboard to consider the promise and
challenge of the “new North” today, demonstrating its importance as a meeting
place of political, cultural, economic, and environmental forces.
James K. Barnett is the author of Captain Cook in Alaska and the North Pacific and coeditor of Enlightenment and Exploration in the North Pacific, 1741–1805.
David L. Nicandri is the author of River of Promise: Lewis and Clark on the Columbia and
the former director of the Washington State Historical Society.
Robin Inglis is a fellow of the Canadian Museums Association and author of the Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Northwest Coast of America. He has
served as research curator for the exhibition Arctic Ambitions: Captain Cook and the Northwest Passage for the Anchorage Museum and the Washington State Historical Society.

Jayne Seagrave—author of the bestselling Camping British Columbia and Yukon—is
back with a book that only an avid camper with children could write. Camping with
Kids in the West: BC and Alberta’s Best Family Campgrounds is the definitive guide for
parents who want to introduce their children to the wonders of nature and create family memories that will last a lifetime.
With over fifteen years of camping experience with her own two children, both
now in their teens, Jayne is an expert on the fine art of family camping. Camping with
Kids in the West includes practical information about twenty-five of the best familyfriendly national and provincial campgrounds—from Alice Lake and Shuswap Lake
in BC to the Bow Valley and Dinosaur National Park in Alberta. All campgrounds
listed are easily accessible by car or RV, are relatively close to amenities like grocery
stores and medical services, and come with recreational opportunities for all ages and
skill levels. Speaking from her vast personal experience and meticulous research, Jayne
addresses the wonderful benefits (and potential challenges) of camping with kids of
every age—from toddlers to tweens to teens.
Born in the UK, Jayne Seagrave immigrated to Canada in the late 1980s and soon discovered
a love of camping. Since becoming parents in 1999, Jayne and her husband have taken their
two sons on trips to over one hundred campsites in BC, Alberta, and Yukon. Jayne is the
author of the hugely popular guidebook Camping British Columbia and Yukon: A Complete
Guide to National, Provincial, and Territorial Campgrounds. She holds a Ph.D. in criminology
and divides her time between writing; working as the marketing manager of the Vancouver
Tool Corporation (vancouvertool.com), the business she started with her husband; and
speaking on innovation and the home-improvement industry (jayneseagrave.com).

To the Lighthouse
An Explorer’s Guide to the Island Lighthouses
of Southwestern BC
Peter Johnson and John Walls
Photography by Richard Paddle
Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are home to over two dozen active lighthouses. For over a century, these coastal beacons have guided ships through the fog and represented hope for countless mariners. Today, the lighthouses on BC’s southern islands
are ideal destinations for day trippers and coastal explorers of all ages who are looking
for historical sites in spectacular maritime settings.
To the Lighthouse: An Explorer’s Guide to the Island Lighthouses of Southwestern BC
offers a comprehensive and fascinating look at these remarkable landmarks, blending practical information on location and accessibility with riveting facts, local lore,
and gorgeous photography. From Fisgard Lighthouse, a National Historic Site at the
mouth of Esquimalt Harbour, to the remote west-coast sentinels of Cape Beale and
Pachena Point, and from the isolated Cape Mudge beacon on Quadra Island to the
community-supported restoration project at Sheringham Point on southern Vancouver
Island, this book celebrates a unique culture of public service passed down through
generations. To the Lighthouse is a travelling companion like no other.
Peter Johnson is an educator and an author of three previous books: Quarantined: Life and
Death at William Head Station, 1872–1959; Glyphs and Gallows: The Rock Art of Clo-oose
and the Wreck of the John Bright; and Voyages of Hope: The Saga of the Bride-Ships.
John Walls is director of the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society and the
author of Celebrating Victoria.

At the end of the nineteenth century, Canada’s Prairies were still sparsely populated.
Crimes such as horse theft, random murders, and prison escapes were the order
of the day, and the North West Mounted Police continued to rely on their horses,
their contacts, and their wits to apprehend the culprits. By the mid-1930s, a sea
change in technology and police science had changed the game. Major advances in
transportation, communications, and sleuthing techniques made crime-solving a new
art—but the criminals also had access to the new ways.
The US had Bonnie and Clyde, and John Dillinger, but Canada had its fair share
of bad apples committing equally vicious crimes: a serial rapist and strangler who
most often chose female proprietors of rooming houses as his victims; a father-andson murder team, tracked by an enterprising detective all the way to Kentucky; and a
group of murderous youths who sparked a manhunt across two provinces and a bloody
shootout resulting in the deaths of four policemen. These stories offer an intriguing
look at the skill, determination, and bravery of Prairie law enforcers as they risked
their all to bring ruthless outlaws to justice.
Art Downs (1924–1996) was a writer, editor, historian, and pioneer of BC book and magazine
publishing. Born in England, he moved to Saskatchewan as a young child and later settled
in Quesnel, BC. He became owner of the Cariboo Digest, which evolved into BC Outdoors,
a successful magazine about BC history, wildlife, and conservation. In 1969, Art and his wife,
Doris, established Heritage House Publishing.

THE LUCK OF THE K ARLUK
Shipwrecked in the Arctic
L.D. Cross
When the members of Canada’s First Arctic Expedition set out from Victoria aboard
hmcs Karluk in the summer of 1913, it was a moment of great optimism. The threeyear mission would chart unexplored land masses of the western Arctic and secure
Canada’s place in the international geographic community. Little did the team of
distinguished scholars and scientists realize, however, how their hopes would soon be
brought to ruin. Just a few months into the journey, the vessel became lodged in heavy
ice, eventually sinking near the coast of Siberia.
With little polar experience among them but ample supplies salvaged from the
wreck, the group of castaways slowly made their way to solid ground on desolate
Wrangel Island. There they would wait while the ship’s captain and an Inuk guide
embarked on a heroic 1,100-kilometre trek along the Siberian coast in search of help.
By the end of the fifteen-month saga, eleven members of the original expedition would
perish from frostbite and sickness, while the remaining twenty would survive to tell
the tale. The Luck of the Karluk is a fascinating story about an important episode in
Canada’s history and a revealing study of the strengths and weaknesses of human nature
under treacherous conditions.
L.D. (Dyan) Cross is an Ottawa writer and member of the Professional Writers Association
of Canada, the Canadian Authors Association, and the Creative Non-Fiction Collective. Her
business and lifestyle articles have appeared in The Globe and Mail and in magazines such
as Weddingbells, Home Business Report, Legion Magazine, Profit Magazine, enRoute, and
This Country Canada. Her creative non-fiction has been recognized by the International
Association of Business Communicators, the EXCEL Awards for features and editorial
writing, and the National Mature Media Awards. In 2011 she received the Ontario Historical

Flames of the tiger
Fields of Conflict—Germany, 1945
John Wilson
“A masterful storyteller.”—The Globe and Mail
As a boy growing up in Germany during Hitler’s rise to power, Dieter has been seduced
by the pomp and circumstance of war. But as global hostilities intensify, he is called
upon to fight for his country in a conflict that he doesn’t fully understand. Now he
must run from everything he knows. With most of his family dead, Berlin in ruins,
and the Russian army closing in, Dieter can no longer naively cling to his childhood
beliefs. The world he is facing is brutal, dirty, and unforgiving. And the most he can
hope for is a chance to survive.
In this second instalment of Wandering Fox’s Fields of Conflict series, John Wilson
brings history to life for young readers ages twelve and up.

Stones of time
The Shenanigans Series, Book Two
Andreas Oertel
“A fun, engaging series for adventure and history buffs.”—Quill & Quire
In their last adventure, Cody, Eric, and Rachel were clever enough to fool townspeople
with a homemade “ancient Egyptian” tablet. Their exploits brought some much-needed
tourism to Sultana, Manitoba, but their deception ensured they would spend the summer
doing community service. While mowing the grass in the local cemetery, they stumble
across some ancient stones that seem to indicate this was a sacred site long before the
arrival of European settlers. All of a sudden, they find themselves on a rescue mission
in a world beyond their imagination. Will their quick thinking and knack for history
be enough to get them home? Modern-day adventure and ancient civilizations meet in
Book Two of the Shenanigans series.
Andreas Oertel was born in Germany and has lived most of his life in eastern Manitoba.
He holds degrees from the University of Manitoba and the British Columbia Institute of
Technology and has a lifelong passion for archaeology, ancient civilizations, and writing,
especially for young people. Learn more at andreasoertel.com.

If you live like me
Lori Weber
“Lori Weber captivates her readers and keeps them entranced.”—CM Magazine
Before her plane even touches down in Newfoundland, Cheryl is already plotting her
escape. She knows life on this rock will be no better than it was in the other places
she’s been forced to live ever since her parents launched their cross-Canada tour. The
unwilling spectator of her father’s morbid fascination with “dying cultures,” Cheryl
has seen more than her fair share of towns so depressing they could haunt your dreams.
His decision to study the defunct fishing industry in St. John’s is Cheryl’s breaking
point—this city girl is more determined than ever to get back to the concrete, the
buzz, and the bright lights of Montreal. Will Cheryl’s cold, goth exterior and her
refusal to embrace a new life cut her off from those who love her?

Shirlee Smith Matheson
“Matheson has been rightly hailed for her appreciation of the prairie landscape and her
ability to capture the rhythm and swing of a young girl’s thoughts.”—Calgary Herald
The sequel to Shirlee Smith Matheson’s critically acclaimed Prairie Pictures follows
the main character, Sherri, as she is uprooted once again and forced to adjust to life in
Calgary and get ready to start at yet another new school. Sherri is thrilled to instantly
make a new friend in Sam, the girl next door. A year older than Sherri, Sam is happy
to show Sherri how to dress and behave. Eager to fit in, Sherri follows Sam’s lead until
she discovers that appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes, it is hard to tell what is
genuine from what is phony.
Shirlee Smith Matheson was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but has lived in over twenty
different communities. Her own experiences of making new friends and leaving familiar
things behind inform many of her stories. Shirlee is an alumna of the Banff Centre’s writing
program and has published award-winning fiction and non-fiction books for adults and
young people. She lives in Calgary, Alberta.
