"A spectacular coffee-table book featuring the images and stories of some of Saskatchewan's most impressive stone buildings, along with historical notes on some of the builders who made them." In words and stunning colour pictures, this book tells the history and the current reality of over 50 fieldstone buildings in Saskatchewan. The book includes an introduction by Bernie Flaman, the provincial heritage architect, an historical overview, and profiles of several of Saskatchewan's most prominent stone masons. The balance of the book is made up of profiles of the buildings - farmhouses, homes in urban communities, places of worship, public buildings and ruins.

Larry Easton's spectacular photgraphs bring these beautiful stone buildings to life, and Frank Kovermaker examines the dimensions and differences of the fieldstone that inhabits the Saskatchewan landscape.

From the archipelago of Stockholm to her adopted home-land, Israel, Betsy Ramsay shares her perspective on historical events through poetry that is at once whimsical and epiphanic.
A collection of all the known Martha Washington papers.
Born in the USA, Betsy Ramsay worked as a free lance journalist in Sweden and helped found the magazine, Riksdagsbulletinen (The Parliamentary Bulletin), for which she was managing editor and which carried the torch for biblical values in Swedish law. After moving to Israel she continued to free lance as a journalist and began writing children's books, FOOTSTEPS, THE BURNING LIGHT and CECIL CENTIPEDE'S CAREER. She has also published three books of original poetry, THE ARMOR OF LIGHT, HANDFULS OF GRAIN and HONUNG OCH VETE (HONEY AND WHEAT). Her latest book, CRYSTAL FRAGMENTS, chronicles in her grandfather's words, the conditions of the Jews in Germany before and after Hitler's rise to power. Even in his darkest hour this humble Jewish man made a distinction between the German people whom he highly respected and the cruel regime by which they, too, were enslaved.
