In the Spirit of our Ancestors

By: Greg Swarbrick

It was supposed to be the best Anzac Day in its history as Australians gathered to remember and thank all those who have fought in the war. One minute people were marching in the commemorative parade, the next World War II Japanese fighter planes appeared and started bombing the country. Will Australia ever rise from this devastation and have peace again? Readers can find out as they follow the events that unravel in author Greg Swarbrick’s novel, In the Spirit of our Ancestors. The 25th of April marks the national day of remembrance of Australia New Zealand, Anzac Day, where citizens honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), who fought during the First World War. It also commemorates those who have served or died in military service for their countries. In the Spirit of our Ancestors begins April 25, 2012, where young Michael joins for the first time in the Anzac Day parade march for his great-great-uncle, who fought in World War I for their freedom. He is having the time of his life with his family until disaster strikes. World War II Japanese fighter planes, supposedly decommissioned after the war, suddenly sweep over the city of Perth, dropping bombs and leaving death and destruction in their wake. A riveting tale told through the eyes of a 17-year-old, In the Spirit of our Ancestors follows Michael, his family and friends as they struggle to survive after the sudden attack on their country. It shows the sacrifices they made and the challenges of rebuilding life after such a catastrophe. Readers will find themselves engrossed from the beginning to end of this first person narrative, as they witness Michael’s coming-of-age journey and how he and the people hold on to the hope of peace once more.

Father Bauer and the Great Experiment

The Genesis of Canadian Olympic Hockey

By: Greg Oliver

A pioneering and beloved Canadian legend comes to life Father David Bauer changed lives — at the rink, in the classroom, and at the pulpit. Bauer’s dream created the first truly national Canadian hockey team. In 1963, that unique group represented Canada abroad and were committed to both country and to Father Bauer. Whether shepherding the hockey program at St. Michael’s College in Toronto or the men’s national team out of the University of British Columbia, Bauer was both spiritual leader and trailblazer. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Times; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} Through exhaustive research and countless interviews, author Greg Oliver explores a Canadian icon, the teams that he put on the ice, and the rocky, almost unfathomable years of the 1970s when Canada didn’t play international hockey. Finally, for the first time ever, the whole story of Father Bauer’s critical importance to Canada’s game is told in the rich detail it deserves, and a beloved icon is celebrated for his contributions to our nation’s sporting history.

EPIC CONFRONTATION

Canada vs. Russia On Ice: The Greatest Sports Drama of All-Time

By: Greg Franke

There have been many thrilling and memorable sports rivalries. But none has ever combined such drama and excitement over such an extended period of time and against such a gripping background as the Cold War hockey rivalry between Canada and Russia (known at that time as the Soviet Union or USSR). For decades Canada had reigned unchallenged as the dominant country at the sport-and the pride that came with knowing that their beloved national game was one thing at which they were unquestionably t

The Pittsburgh Penguins

The First 25 Years

By: Greg Enright

The Pittsburgh Penguins have captured the Stanley Cup five times since 1991--more than any NHL team during the same period. Joining the NHL in 1967 as an expansion team, they waddled their way through years of heavy losses both on and off the ice--bad trades, horrible draft picks, a revolving door of owners, general managers and coaches, and even a bankruptcy. Somehow, they hung on long enough to draft superstar Mario Lemieux in 1984 and eventually claim their first championship, attracting a large fanbase along the way. Packed with colorful recollections from former players, reporters and team officials, this book tells the complete story of the Penguins' first 25 years, chronicling their often hilarious, sometimes tragic transformation from bumbling upstarts to one of hockey's most accomplished franchises.

Ecology of Sulawesi

By: Tony Whitten,Greg S. Henderson

The Ecology of Sulawesi is a comprehensive ecological survey of one of Indonesia's least populated and most diverse islands. It is hoped that it will prove useful to resource managers, ecologists, environmental scientists and local government personnel, and be enlightening to Sulawesi's inhabitants and visitors. Sulawesi is one of the least-known islands of Indonesia, and wise environmental management, including the proper assessment of environmental management, including the proper assessment of environmental impacts arising from development projects and other activities, is currently very difficult.

The Games That Changed the Game

The Evolution of the NFL in Seven Sundays

By: Ron Jaworski,David Plaut,Greg Cosell

A gift for sports fans and football afficianados Professional football in the last half century has been a sport marked by relentless innovation. For fans determined to keep up with the changes that have transformed the game, close examination of the coaching footage is a must. In The Games That Changed the Game, Ron Jaworski—pro football’s #1 game-tape guru—breaks down the film from seven of the most momentous contests of the last fifty years, giving readers a drive-by-drive, play-by-play guide to the evolutionary leaps that define the modern NFL. From Sid Gillman’s development of the Vertical Stretch, which launched the era of wide-open passing offenses, to Bill Belichick’s daring defensive game plan in Super Bowl XXXVI, which enabled his outgunned squad to upset the heavily favored St. Louis Rams and usher in the New England Patriots dynasty, the most cutting-edge concepts come alive again through the recollections of nearly seventy coaches and players. You’ll never watch NFL football the same way again.
