From Bill Bryson, the author of that classic of modern science writing, A Short History of Nearly Everything, comes a work of what you might call domestic science: our homes, how they work, and the fascinating history of how they got that way.

A Canadian icon, singersongwriter Ian Tyson writes about his longstanding love of the West and his life in “one of the last true cowboy countries on either side of the border.”

In Northern Light, Roy MacGregor writes about his lifelong fascination with Canada’s most revered painter Tom Thomson, and reveals the mysteries surrounding the visionary artist, including the circumstances around his death.
