A collection of tales about Canada's show-juming legends including Air Pilot, Barra Lad and Big Ben.
In the 450 years since Jacques Cartier's arrival, Prince Edward Island's history has been tied to the sea and to ships. From the first explorers through immigrants, traders, sailors, and fishermen, thousands of seafaring people and their ships have come and gone -- many lost to the relentless sea. Julie Watson has dug through the archives and unearthed harrowing accounts, from the expulsion of the Acadians to the amazing 1836 adventure of Tommy Tuplin, age six, who was washed overboard in a storm then washed back into the ship's rigging. This book includes fascinating stories of buried treasure, legends of ghost ships, and tales of storms that have become part of the island's history and folklore. Add to these stories of seal hunts, waterspouts, U-boats, and ice boats, and you start to share in what it means to be an islander -- and what the unforgiving sea can yield.
How Women Make Money is a twofold exploration into the entrepreneurial spirit of Canadian women from all walks of life. It is the story of women who have realized that their paths are not pre-determined, whose experiences are united with vision and sense of purpose, and who continue to challenge their own ideas, and others' presumptions, of what their lives should look like. It is also a guide to building both business smarts and character: Julie Watson, an entrepreneur herself, delivers the goods - good planning, good guidelines, good business acumen - offering practical advice on such things as matching personal goals with business goals, developing old skills and learning new ones, using past experiences to infuse new passions, and balancing vision and bookkeeping. The road to self-employment is paved with self-discovery.
