Legacy
A ground-breaking work of nation building, this unique biographical book by many of English and French Canada's best-known writers and thinkers -- Margaret Atwood, Lucien Bouchard, Dr. Samantha Nutt, Ken Dryden, etc. -- tells the story of the extraordinary legacy of the French contribution to our very way of life. In 1913, schoolgirls found a heavy metal plaque peeking out of the soil in St-Pierre, South Dakota. On it they saw engraved characters and signs they could not decipher.

Engraved
Engravedis a collection of stories and essays about Canadians during the First World War, with an underlying focus on how that war changed Canadian society. Many of the stories are about ordinary men whose absence transformed their families. Even those who returned were never the same. There are also stories here of extraordinary people: Georgina Pope, Canada? first military nurse, and the first Canadian ever to be awarded the Royal Red Cross Medal; John McCrae, the battlefield doctor whose iconic poem, ?n Flanders Fields'still shapes Remembrance Day ceremonies; and war artist A.Y.

Details about field dentistry, the disastrous Ross Rifle, shell-shock, conscientious objectors, love, abandonment and loyalty make it clear why that era remains engraved across our nation? collective memory.
