  From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, To Catch a Fish is an entertaining and beautifully written illustrated collection of essays that explore a lifetime fascination with fishing.    For as long as there have been humans, there have been humans trying to catch fish. The two species—fish and man—live in constant tension. One chases the other. One tries to get away. Some of us—author Mark Kurlansky included—are hard-wired for that chase. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch.      Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, or simply want to explore the world of fish, the forty short essays in this collection and the dazzling illustrations by Bri Dostie, shed new light on these creatures and our relationship to them.

  Recalling some of the most memorable escapades ever conducted in the Canadian Arctic with bush planes, Flying to Extremes takes place in the late ’60s and early ’70s from a base at Yellowknife, in the heart of the Northwest Territories.Beyond recounting so many near-mishaps, this book is also about colourful people: the trappers, prospectors, miners, adventurers and gold-ingot thieves who constituted the fauna at the main bar in Yellowknife in those days. For Arctic dreamers, there was always the flight to the Nahanni River, with its Deadman’s Valley, hot springs, tales of lost or dead prospectors, the many airplanes crashed in pursuit of gold, and much more Nahanni lore.This entertaining book recollects Prinet’s adventures as a young man while capturing the humour, beauty, danger and unique culture of northern communities, in the dramatic landscape of the Canadian Arctic. Readers familiar with the region and those who can only dream of visiting it will both find this title a nostalgic and captivating read.

  Gardening is not just a hobby; it’s a lifelong passion that connects us with nature, nurtures our creativity, and provides both physical and emotional benefits. Whether you’re tending to a small balcony garden, nurturing a sprawling backyard plot, or cultivating a thriving indoor space, the practice of gardening offers a sense of accomplishment and peace. However, many gardeners approach the craft with the misconception that it’s a seasonal activity limited to the warmer months. In reality, gardening is a year-round endeavor, full of possibilities, no matter the season. 
  "Gardening for All Seasons: A Year-Round Guide" aims to break the traditional cycle of gardening by encouraging a continuous, mindful approach to your garden throughout the year. By understanding how different seasons impact your plants and soil, you can learn to work with nature’s rhythms, enhancing your gardening experience and yielding stronger, healthier plants. This guide offers practical advice, seasonal tips, and sustainable gardening practices that can be applied at any time of the year. 
  Each season brings with it unique challenges and opportunities. In spring, the garden bursts to life, and your focus will shift to planting, nurturing, and preparing for the growth ahead. Summer requires a balance between providing water, managing heat stress, and staying on top of maintenance. Fall is the time for harvesting and preparing the garden for its seasonal rest, while winter offers the chance to reflect and plan for the upcoming year. But the key to thriving in these transitions lies in consistent care and adaptation. By cultivating the right mindset and tools, you can manage your garden through every season, reaping the rewards of your labor no matter the month.
