Before "The Outlander," multiple-award-winning, bestselling, and critically acclaimed author Adamson published another book of fiction. With this new updated edition, Adamson's fascinating portrait of a young woman's coming of age is ready for readers once again.

Many poets from Newfoundland sketch its wildly beautiful geography; others have opened windows onto its speech patterns and social customs. James Langer does what no other poet does: he combines all sides of Newfoundland at nearly every turn with the surety of a singer who cannot sound any other way. Like gun dogs -- uncontrolled creatures seemingly under restraint -- the poems in this collection strain at the lead. The torque is felt in the line, the verb, the metaphor. The maturity of Langer's vision reveals itself in the cumulative effect of his rhetoric. He won't land on his quarry, whether Love, Forgiveness, Respect of Place, or Clarity of Memory. He will, however, attain a palpable wisdom within these poems, a measured equanimity that can be traced back to the Stoics. "Gun Dogs" marks the debut of a fully-formed talent that deserves a hearty and focused attention.

Tim Lilburn has long been recognized for his ability to explore issues of ecology from a variety of viewpoints -- philosophical, moral, ethical, even poetic. This new collection expands on his thoughts in surprising and enlightening ways, concentrating on how we relate (often uneasily) to our physical landscape in Canada and the United States. "Going Home" is especially timely in a world where the whole of North America is waking up to the fact that our "home" is endangered because of how we live in it.

This convenient, portable guide provides straightforward solutions to the most common problems of Canadian English grammar and usage. Fully revised and expanded, this new edition of Rob Colter's bestseller contains four sections: Grammar and Style, Punctuation, Spelling, and Common Confusions. Within each section the entries are alphabetically arranged for easy reference. This is not a grammar book in the conventional sense of that dreaded word: grammar knowledge is not needed to find answers, and the wealth of explanations and examples make it easy to understand and use once they're found. If, for example, you want to know (once and for all) the difference between "it's" and "its," you don't need to know the relevant parts of speech. Simply look under the heading "It's/Its." This edition adds sections on source documentation, email, inclusive language, parallelism, ambiguity, and language simplification. The result is an indispensable grammar guide that belongs in every backpack, briefcase, or handbag.
