Edmonton Journal's Books

Edmonton attained a dark milestone in 2011, when the city set a record of 47 homicides in a single year and made headlines across the country with the unenviable title of “murder capital of Canada.” The Edmonton Journal spotted the trend early in 2011 and made the homicides a focus of our reporting throughout the year with regular updates and special reports in print and online about the sad phenomenon. The intent of our coverage throughout the year was to offer context and analysis – and look beyond the rising numbers – to look for answers. This ebook contains the centrepiece of that contextual coverage: a series of articles published in November and December that looked at the human toll of the homicides. In addition to that material, it also includes unpublished material and additional photographs and graphics that did not appear in print.

The Edmonton Journal takes an expanded look at the impact of the Wayne Gretzky trade from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings 25 years later. Fresh takes on what’s arguably the biggest pro sports trade of all time analyze and explain what The Trade meant to the Oilers, the National Hockey League, the city of Edmonton and to hockey in the United States.

A delightful collection of Christmas essays and features written by some of the Edmonton Journal’s best-loved writers that explores the perils, the pitfalls and the great redemptive joys of the harried, happy Christmas season.

With over 1300 sites, 300 photographs, and detailed maps, Naming Edmonton gives life to the personal stories and the significant events that mark this city. Use this comprehensive local history as a guide to revisit Edmonton’s streets, parks, neighbourhoods, and bridges in an exploration of the signs of our origins and our times.

When Through the Mackenzie Basin was published in 1908, it became an immediate success as an adventure book on the unsettled regions of Northwest Canada. In this new edition, David Leonard's introduction puts Mair's work into its historical context, while Brian Calliou's introduction adds a First Nations perspective.
