The Garden Lover's Guide to Canada
The Garden Lover's Guides were devised for gardeners on the move, profiling points of horticultural interest in various countries. Each guide lists an extensive range of practical information, including opening times, admission fees, directions, nearby sites of interest and other available facilities. Exquisitely drawn three-dimensional maps are provided for selected gardens. These new titles lead readers to over 100 of the best Canadian gardens and through the imposing formal terraces and breathtaking plantings of Ireland's castles, parks and country gardens. All guides include lush photographs and detailed descriptions.
The Elephants in My Backyard
Rajiv Surendra (the rapping mathlete from Mean Girls) read Life of Pi, discovered it was being adapted into a major motion picture, and embarked on a ten-year journey to land the role of a lifetime - but this is not a journey of goals and victories, this is a story of obsessively pursuing a dream, overcoming failure, and finding meaning in life. The Elephants in My Backyard is a profound and inspiring story of self-discovery in the face of failure - poignant, funny, colourful, and absolutely unforgettable.
Zookeeping
As species extinction, environmental protection, animal rights, and workplace safety issues come to the fore, zoos and aquariums need keepers who have the technical expertise and scientific knowledge to keep animals healthy, educate the public, and create regional, national, and global conservation and management communities. This textbook offers a comprehensive and practical overview of the profession geared toward new animal keepers and anyone who needs a foundational account of the topics most important to the day-to-day care of zoo and aquarium animals. The three editors, all experienced in zoo animal care and management, have put together a cohesive and broad-ranging book that tackles each of its subjects carefully and thoroughly. The contributions cover professional zookeeping, evolution of zoos, workplace safety, animal management, taxon-specific animal husbandry, animal behavior, veterinary care, public education and outreach, and conservation science. Using the newest techniques and research gathered from around the world, Zookeeping is a progressive textbook that seeks to promote consistency and the highest standards within global zoo and aquarium operations.

You’ll meet Muck the movie-loving chipmunk, Ed the stealthy coyote and a trio of clever raccoons, all intent on protecting the capybaras. Together, the crew outsmart trackers and zoo workers and become good friends in the process.
