Solar System
Combining the latest astronomical results with a historical perspective, Solar System: Between Fire and Ice takes you on a fabulous tour of our intriguing Solar System. Not content with a conventional discourse restricted to the major and minor bodies, astronomers Hockey, Bartlett, and Boice venture beyond the limits of our system to look at exoplanets and to consider future trends in space exploration and tourism. They discuss not only what scientists know about planets, asteroids, and comets but how the discoveries were made. With extensive teaching experience, their accessible prose clearly explains essential physical concepts. Lavishly illustrated as well as carefully researched, Solar S...
How We See the Sky
Gazing up at the heavens from our backyards or a nearby field, most of us see an undifferentiated mess of stars—if, that is, we can see anything at all through the glow of light pollution. Today’s casual observer knows far less about the sky than did our ancestors, who depended on the sun and the moon to tell them the time and on the stars to guide them through the seas. Nowadays, we don’t need the sky, which is good, because we’ve made it far less accessible, hiding it behind the skyscrapers and the excessive artificial light of our cities. How We See the Sky gives us back our knowledge of the sky, offering a fascinating overview of what can be seen there without the aid of a telesc...

The Hockey Song
As Stompin’ Tom Connors sings, “It’s the good old hockey game, the best game you can name.” And in this charmingly illustrated book for all ages, the classic song played at hockey games around the world is imagined as a shinny game on an outdoor rink in the middle of the city that starts with two players and soon grows to include the whole community. “The puck is in! The hometown wins! The good ol’ hockey game.”

Hat Trick
The gloves are off! A brand new format for Tom Earle's action-packed debut Ricky Phillips is only a teen when he is selected to play for the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League. Everyone around him, including his coaches and his father, is going to make sure that he gets the ultimate prize: a chance to play in the National Hockey League. When he is selected to play for the San Jose Sharks, everyone is thrilled. But an on-ice fight turns deadly and has lasting repercussions; Ricky is forced to question everything he knows. How much is hockey worth to him? An inside look at life in professional hockey, this story of a young hockey star's career derailed by a misplaced punch is a compelling, ripped-from-the-headlines read.

Enigma
If you could speak to Christ, what would you say to Him? This new book tells of an encounter with Christ and what one man had to say to Him. Fydor Dostoevsky, the great Russian writer, wrote of such an encounter in 1879 known as The Grand Inquisitor. Vanderpoel's encounter takes place in the twenty-first century. "Wynant Vanderpoel has used Dostoevsky's The Grand Inquisitor as the starting point for a contemporary spiritual exploration of faith and doubt. He has written a fascinating and daring literary fable. Anyone concerned with how to live in the disenchanted world in which we now find ourselves will want to read this book" Lee Patterson, F.W. Hilles Professor of English, Emeritus, Yale ...
