| Title: Agnes Ayre's Notebook |
| Sub-title: Recipes from Old St. John's |
| By (author): Roger Pickavance, Agnes Marion Murphy |
| ISBN10-13: 1775234592 : 9781775234593 |
| In the early twentieth century, Newfoundland trailblazer Agnes Marion Miller Ayre became an outspoken advocate for allowing women to vote. She was also an avid botanist and an accomplished artist who published a book, Wild Flowers of Newfoundland. One overlooked aspect of Ayres remarkable life was a recipe collection she wrote in a small notebook, starting in 1917. She did not bother with traditional recipes -- not a boiled dinner or pan-fried cod to be found -- but collected out-of-the-ordinary dishes for the time, along with ingenious ways of being frugal with leftovers. Intrigued by this historical document and curious about what exactly the lady of a middle-class household in World War I St. Johns would feed her family, Roger Pickavance and Agnes Marion Murphy (Ayres granddaughter) set about cooking all 140 recipes in the century-old notebook. Most worked well, some did not, and many would make a welcome addition to a modern cooks repertoire. Pickavance and Murphy have reworked some recipes, filling in the blanks, simplifying steps, and offering ingredient substitutions where required. The result is a glimpse into the personal life of Agnes Ayre -- and a cookbook full of delicious surprises. |

| By (author): Matthew Hollett |
| ISBN10-13: 177523455X : 9781775234555 |
| Part art history, part road trip, and part detective story, Album Rock began when Matthew Hollett stumbled across an intriguing photograph from the 1850s on the website of the Corner Brook Museum and Archives. Paul-à mile Miot was one of the first photographers to visit Newfoundland.

A lively and insightful work of creative nonfiction and poetry, Album Rock touches on the history of photography in Newfoundland, Miots travels around the French Shore, and the power of naming in shaping our perceptions of a place. Its also a celebration of curiosity and the joy of delving into the mystery of a peculiar photograph. |

Part art history, part road trip, part detective story. Album Rock began when English student and award-winning author Matthew Hollett stumbled across an intriguing photograph from the 1850s on the Corner Brook Museum and Archives website. Paul-Émile Miot was one of the first photographers to visit Newfoundland. His photo, Rocher peint par les marins français (Rock painted by French sailors), shows the word “album” painted on a prominent rock in Sacred Bay, on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula. More than 160 years later, the landmark is still known as Album Rock. But what’s the story behind this curious scene? And who are the sailors posing on the rock? A lively and insightful work of creative non-fiction and poetry, Album Rock touches on the history of photography in Newfoundland, Miot’s travels around the French Shore and the power of naming in shaping our perceptions of a place. It’s also a celebration of curiosity and the joy of delving into the mystery of a peculiar photograph. Memorial University Gazette - https://gazette.mun.ca/research/books-at-memorial/album-rock/

| Title: Life on the Mista Shipu |
| Sub-title: Dispatches from Labrador |
| By (author): Robin McGrath |
| ISBN10-13: 1775234576 : 9781775234579 |
| Robin McGrath acts as a navigator, guiding locals and visitors alike around parts of Labrador -- particularly the interior -- that are too often overlooked. In doing so, she offers candid glimpses of human and natural history, of local colour and characters, and of the culture of the three founding peoples of modern Labrador. Although a native of Newfoundland, she had spent much of her working life in what was then the Northwest Territories, now Nunavut. McGrath moved to Labrador in 2006, eager to learn, explore, and write in the Big Land. Over the next decade, she opened her ears and eyes to the people and places around her and wrote dozens of captivating articles and essays about her experiences. Labrador is very, very different from Newfoundland, and very different from the more northern parts of Canada also. Its geography is varied, its languages are complex, its history is unique. In her time there she met some of the nicest, bravest, most interesting people she has ever known. Innu activist Elizabeth Penashue and her husband Francis brought her into a part of Labrador that most people never see - into the country, to the sweatlodges and remote beaches and into the homes and tents of their friends and relatives. They brought her to religious services, baby showers and funerals, berry picking and on fishing trips. This book is a collection of over 50 of these pieces. The Mista Shipu is known as the Churchill River in English. |

| Title: Saltwater Mittens from the Island of Newfoundland |
| Sub-title: More than 20 heritage designs to knit |
| By (author): Christine LeGrow, Shirley A Scott |
| ISBN10-13: 1775234584 : 9781775234586 |
| Woollen mittens have long been a Newfoundlanders best friend. The warmer the better. In a quirky climate of freeze, thaw, blow, and drizzle, good mittens made all tasks easier -- to split birch, hammer a nail, gut a fish, draw and haul water, hang clothes on a line, shoot a seabird, or snare a rabbit. Social life, too, always required the finest mittens and gloves. This continues today. These mittens are as practical as they are beautiful -- double-knit with two colours means twice the warmth and wind resistance. The patterns are rated by difficulty and varied in style, including trigger mitts, wristers, five-finger mittens (a.k.a. gloves), fingerless mitts for wee ones, and, of course, classic mittens for all. The dozens of colour photographs will inspire you to make your own bold colour choices. The nuggets of history, and tales of mittens and their knitters, make Saltwater Mittens a book knitters and non-knitters alike can enjoy. |

| Title: Struggling with My Soul |
| By (author): George Rich |
| ISBN10-13: 0993909531 : 9780993909535 |
| George Richs Struggling with My Soul is a story of growing up caught between two worlds. A Labrador Mushuau Innu, Georges family and people gave up their nomadic way of life to settle in Davis Inlet. But the promise of a better life in a new place quickly turned to alcoholism, despair and tragedy. George goes on to tell the story of the relocation of his people from Davis Inlet Innu to Natuashish. He shares some of his thoughts about critical issues such as child welfare and education, as well as the involvement of the Labrador Innu in resource developments and the land claims process. This is story is one of a people coming apart, but it is also a story of healing and of the hard work it takes to put ones life, ones soul and ones community back together. |

| Title: 18 Souls |
| Sub-title: The Loss and Legacy of Cougar Flight 491 |
| By (author): Rod Etheridge |
| ISBN10-13: 1775234509 : 9781775234500 |
| On 12 March 2009 a helicopter carrying workers to offshore oil production platforms in the North Atlantic off the coast of Newfoundland crashed into the ocean. Seventeen of the people on board the helicopter perished that day. One survived. Much has been learned since then about helicopter safety, thanks to an investigation into the cause of the crash and a public inquiry. But little has been said about the 17 people who lost their lives on that day 10 years ago. The families are now custodians of their legacies. In this book families and friends speak candidly -- in many cases, for the first time -- about what was really lost and what could have been, had fate been kind that day. A decade later, regulators have not adopted key recommendations aimed at preventing a recurrence of this disaster. 18 Souls illustrates the importance of offshore safety through the raw emotion still resonating in the hearts and minds of those left behind, and pays tribute to and honours the memory of the passengers and crew of Cougar Flight 491. |
