Bugler in the Mountains
By caring for the needs of the train passengers due to blocked rails, inhabitants of the little town of Bugler set the stage in 1897 for a life-changing experience for at least one of them. Elise was becoming convinced bad things would continue to befall her. The warm, helpful welcome gave her new direction. A series of unexpected events, both joyful and trying, reinforced her character growth. Meet and become acquainted with Kate, her new friend; Becky, the landlady, an encourager and gentle mentor; Tom, who owned the leather shop and always gave a bit more than the customer expected; Jake, the cabinetmaker and friend of Becky; Silas, who called the square dances and loved a good story, plus the pastor and his family, livery stable owner; and other interactive neighbors and ranchers. When the time came, would Elise choose this chance at what she felt might be her real happiness, or would family pressures cause her to return to her society upbringing, leaving Bugler behind as an impossible dream?
The Politics of Ontario
Ontario is the most populous province in Canada and perhaps the most complex. It encompasses a range of regions, cities, and local cultures, while also claiming a long-standing pre-eminence in Canadian federalism. The second edition of The Politics of Ontario aims to understand this unique and ever-changing province. The new edition captures the growing diversity of Ontario, with new chapters on race and Ontario politics, Black Ontarians, and the relationship of Indigenous Peoples and Ontario. With contributors from across the province, the book analyses the political institutions of Ontario, key areas such as gender, Northern Ontario, the intricate Ontario political economy, and public policy challenges with the environment, labour relations, governing the GTA, and health care. Completely refreshed from the earlier edition, it emphasizes the evolution of Ontario and key public policy challenges facing the province. In doing so, The Politics of Ontario provides readers with a thorough understanding of this complicated province.
"Yogi Was Up with a Guy on Third. . ."
Take a walk down memory lane with these Hall of Famers as they share their memories of that one favorite game. From Red Schoendienst's first professional game, with butterflies causing error after error until the great Branch Rickey assured him that he'd be in the game for a long time and would likely make a few more errors—to Paul Molitor's rounding the bases in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, looking up into the stands to make eye contact with his father; the elder watching as the son scored the winning run for the Blue Jays on Joe Carter's Series-clinching three-run homer. From Bobby Doerr, the oldest living Hall of Famer, to Goose Gossage, the most recent Hall of Fame inductee, their memories are all here and told in poignant detail by the players themselves as they look back over the arc of their careers and recall their most memorable moments on the diamond. “Yogi Was Up with a Guy on Third...” is a book that will delight fans of all ages.

African-American Athletes
African Americans have been participating in sports in the United States since the 19th century -- long before many whites accepted them in this context. Since World War II, they have become recognized as competitors in such diverse fields as baseball, boxing, football, track and field, gymnastics, tennis, and golf. The change from whites-only participation to black dominance in many sports did not come painlessly or without the remarkable perseverance of individual athletes. From the early years to the present day, an impressive array of blacks have achieved success as athletes. This book profiles more than 155 athletes. Each enlightening biographical entry concentrates on the events in that person's life related to his or her accomplishments as an athlete and includes a list of further reading on that person. An introduction, bibliography, subject indexes, general index, and 50 photographs round out the resource. Book jacket.
Decker's Log
I have written three short Stories involving characters developed from The Assistant, a sea story, my earlier work. The principles, Florence and John Decker are not a youthful married couple or are they your typical man and wife. Their backgrounds are as different as day and night but function better than any oyster movement. Captain John Decker spent most of his adult life at sea; a decorated career naval officer and later as a Licensed Master Mariner in command of a modern containership. His gregorious life style and good living was truncated by an unwilling physcial plant that had enough. Bent, but not broken, John survived and was offered a job ashore by his employer in a less responsibl...
