A Survey of Natural History Collections in New Brunswick
A survey of natural history collections in New Brunswick was carried out in1984-85. It revealed 11 institutions and nine individuals maintaining whatare considered 43 discrete collections of an estimated 401,576 naturalhistory specimens. Those categories of collections best represented inprovince were botany, entomology and geology. This survey suggests certaintaxa are markedly under-represented in provincial collections -non-vascular plants, freshwater invertebrates, and terrestrial invertebratesexclusive of insects. Natural history collections will have to be betterfunded and more adequately staffed if the full potential of provincialscientific collections is to be realized in the future.
Mammals of Prince Edward Island and Adjacent Marine Waters
This long overdue book provides a comprehensive guide to the Island's terrestrial and marine mammals. Rooted in historical accounts and local research, this book illuminates the lives of PEI mammals large and small. From the Little Brown Bat to the Sowerby's Beaked Whale, this book highlights each species in illustrated detail and outlines the continued need for conservation efforts. No other Canadian province has lost such a large proportion of its mammal species due to the conversion from a forested to a predominantly agricultural landscape. In the 20th century, many marine mammals were so rare due to prior centuries of human exploitation that any sightings or strandings on PEI were recorded. The expansion of forest cover and the continued efforts of local wildlife and conservation agencies, along with the use of new and refined study techniques on land and in the sea, continue to improve our ability to understand and protect the native mammals of PEI.
The Creative City of Saint John
This book presents a wide-ranging portrayal of the creative work done in Saint John in the hundred years following Confederation.

Among the many surprising and interesting accounts: the contribution to Maritime natural history made by a butterfly found in the city, the role of the city's Great Fire in generating a host of visual artists documenting the urban landscape, and the little-known Hollywood connection that made the city a hotbed of film production — in the early 1900s.
