Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Michael Haynes is Mr. Hiking in Nova Scotia. The 7th edition of his Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia sold 15,000 copies, and his eight-year series of CBC Radio spots has been so popular that people he meets on the trails recognize him by his voice. Eager to supply the best information about the delights (and possible hazards) of self-propelled excursions into the woods and mountains and along the shores of his province, he has now prepared Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia, 8th edition. The 8th edition of Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia is completely revised and updated. More than 30 of the 50 trails are new, and 25 of these new trails did not exist when the 7th edition was published. Haynes re-hiked and updated the descriptions of about 20 trails, and he charted the current condition of 7th-edition trails. Users will find the new 8th edition of Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia as trustworthy a guide as ever to hikes long and short, challenging and easy, in all corners of the province. As well as instructions for finding each trail and descriptions of the trails themselves, Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia, 8th edition, includes maps and synoptic information on length, time, difficulty, other uses, facilities, and the correct topographical map to use.

Also new to this edition are sidebars on plants, animals, historic sites, and other interesting features of the trails. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Claire Harris is one of Canada's most powerful poets. Dipped in Shadow shows her at her strongest: the book's five poems making hard-hitting statements about women and their children. "O what are you thinking my sisters," the book's foreword, draws women of all races together in the fundamental facts of female life: fear for themselves and fear for their children. In "Night Dances," a frightening story of sexual and physical abuse, knife-sharp language and experimental form expand words far beyond their usual connotations. "Sister (Y)our Manchild" reminds women that the cruellest soldiers in the most vicious wars are their babies; they have nurtured evil in their beautiful children. "This Fierce Body" reviews the life of a young man dying of AIDS as friends watch at his bedside. Experimental form and language make "Woeman Womb Prisoned," a harrowing evocation of a teenager in childbirth, both moving and provocative.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. To play "cutting the devil's throat," hold a round stone as if you were going to skip it across the water, but throw it straight up into the air.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rich with literary awards and honours, Alberto Manguel extends his literary genius to address and complete a thoughtfully crafted extrapolation on a paper left unfinished by Northrop Frye in 1943. The result is a succinct yet densely multilayered examination of how various readings of Homer throughout the annals of history cast light upon the human tendency towards war rather than peace and asks what roles writing and reading play to bring the world into better equilibrium. Central to this lecture is the concept of re-binding, a word drawn from the Latin roots for the word religion, which Manguel posits is the essential definition of poetry. Homers writings, the point of origin of all written verse, are also the first written instance of the binding of imagined, written, and read realities. The semantics of Homers name and the literal and figurative ramifications of his blindness are investigated as Manguel builds the scaffold for unveiling our own blindness through our desire to read Homer in our own image. We are left to examine our own assumptions.Comble de prix litteraires et dhonneurs, Alberto Manguel prete son genie litteraire a letude et au parachevement dune extrapolation songee que Northrop Frye avait laissee en plan en 1943. Il en resulte une analyse succincte mais en replis serres des multiples lectures dHomere leguees par les siecles, qui revele comment ces interpretations eclairent la propension humaine a la guerre plutot qua la paix, ce qui le mene a sinterroger sur le role que jouent lecriture et la lecture quand il sagit de creer un monde plus equilibre. La notion de re-lier, un mot dont les racines latines sont les memes que le mot religion, est au coeur de cette conference, et Manguel en fait la definition essentielle de la poesie. Les ecrits dHomere, point dorigine de toute la poesie ecrite, fournissent aussi la premiere occurrence dun lien entre les realites imaginees, ecrites et lues. La valeur semantique du nom dHomere et les repercussions concretes et figurees de sa cecite font partie des elements que Manguel scrute pour fonder son evocation de notre aveuglement a nous quand nous insistons pour lire Homere a notre propre image. Nous navons plus qua remettre nos hypotheses. In 1943, Northrop Frye wrote a paper, left unfinished, on "the state of the world." His ideas of what to expect after the end of the war and the role that literature might play in a time of peace, are the starting point for a meditation on the roles of writer and reader, and what kind of vision is required of them to explore and depict the world. Homer is the archetype of the writer who can see into the future through his knowledge of the past. But how has Homer been read throughout the centuries by generations caught up in the counterpoint of war and peace? And, following Frye's exploration, can Homer teach us to become better readers? Why Homer Must Be Blind/ La cA(c)citA(c) incontournable d'HomA]re is the third Antonine Maillet-Northrop Frye Lecture, sponsored by the Northrop Frye International Literary Festival and the UniversitA(c) de Moncton. It was presented on April 26, 2008, in Moncton, New Brunswick, as part of the 2008 Frye Festival. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
