| Title: A Match to a Blasty Bough |
| Sub-title: How FFAW-Unifor confronted power and shared the wealth |
| By (author): Earle McCurdy |
| ISBN10-13: 1989417442 : 9781989417447 |
| The fishery defines the culture and heritage of Newfoundland and Labrador. But historically, it was merchants who wielded power and reaped the bounty created by workers. This changed in 1971 when a group of dedicated people created what was then known simply as the Fishermens Union. Their goalwhich was derided as idealistic and doomed to failure -- was to change the power structure of the fishing industry to ensure workers could finally obtain their rightful share of the wealth. But the naysayers were wrong, and the union has survived market crashes, industry restructuring, divisive corporate campaigns, scandalous levels of foreign overfishing, and devastating fish stock collapses. Earle McCurdy, who spent most of his career with the FFAW-Uniform, has been at the center for many of the unions important battles. Drawing on personal experience, as well as dozens of interviews and extensive research, McCurdy tells the compelling true story of challenge and triumph. |

| Title: A Mixed Marriage |
| Sub-title: Conflicts, observations, and curious ideas about the French Shore of Newfoundland |
| By (author): Michael Wilkshire |
| ISBN10-13: 1989417116 : 9781989417119 |
| For hundreds of years, a rich French heritage has marked the history and culture of Newfoundland and Labrador. Yet the contributions of French settlers and fishing communities have not received the recognition they deserve. The French presence in Newfoundland from the early 18th century to the early 20th is a story of both strife and cooperation: sovereignty over the island belonged to the British, but France enjoyed the right to fish along an extensive part of the shoreline, known as the French Treaty Shore. As with many long-term relationships, this one was marked by sharp differences, but also times of peaceful coexistence. A Mixed Marriage offers a look back at this period from the eyes of those who were there. Included are the full text of ship's surgeon C.J.A. Carpon's Voyage to Newfoundland and four reports from French naval officers who were part of the fisheries protection patrol, most translated for the first time. Featuring observations of fishing and hunting practices, stories of on-board surgeries, on-land festivities, and a sprinkling of curious tales, these texts together offer new insight into life on the French Shore of Newfoundland. |

| Title: Cold Edge of Heaven |
| By (author): Whit Fraser |
| ISBN10-13: 1989417450 : 9781989417454 |
| Abandoned at a desolate Arctic outpost and haunted by memories of forbidden desire, Constable Will Grant preserves his sanity by investigating the mysterious deaths of two troubled Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers. Set in 1924 at a desolate police outpost on Devon Island in Canadaâ s far north, this is a story of murder, mystery, and loveâ intensified by a clash of cultures between Inuit guides and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who live and work alongside them. Will Grant is one of three constables who, along with their guides and families, are dropped on the windy gravel beach of Dundas Harbour. But no amount of trainingâ not even the horrors of the First World Warâ would prepare the officers for ice-locked isolation and physical threats from ocean storms, blizzards, avalanches, months of darkness, and marauding polar bears. The mental and emotional strain are exacerbated by two mysterious, violent deaths. When the Inuit abandon the outpost, Grant realizes that his values and beliefs have changed in ways he could not have imagined. Although alone and crushed by the inexplicable murders, Grant has learned much about the Arctic through Naudla, wife of one of the guidesâ and his secret lover. Through her, he discovers the magnificent beauty of the land and ice-covered ocean. This is not a frozen hell, but rather the cold edge of heaven. ï"¿Cold Edge of Heaven is a historical fiction adventure set in the Canadian Arctic at the now-abandoned Royal Canadian Mounted Police outpost of Dundas Harbour. Stations such as these were central to Canada asserting its sovereignty over the vast far north, with the Mounties serving as "human flagpoles". |

Fish are caught, game hunted, berries and plants foraged. Food is prepared, preserved, and stored. Throughout are recipes for traditional dishes, regional delicacies, and modern preparations written for today's home cook. |
