| Title: "Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers" |
| Sub-title: Canadian Internment Camp B, 1940-1945 |
| By (author): Andrew Theobald |
| ISBN10-13: 1773101242 : 9781773101248 |
| Winner, Democracy 250 Atlantic Book Award for Historical WritingWhat happened in Canadian Internment Camp B?From 1940 to 1945, Internment Camp B at Ripples, some 35 kilometres east of Fredericton, played a considerable role in the Second World War. Chosen for its remote rural New Brunswick location, Camp B interned hundreds who were deemed by the Canadian government to be enemy sympathizers.In the first year of its operation, the camp incarcerated German and Austrian Jewish refugees dispatched from Britain. In May 1940, fearful that the refugees were agents of the Nazis they'd fled, the British government sent thousands of men to Canada to be interned as "dangerous enemy sympathizers." After the refugees were finally released in 1941, Camp B held Canadian citizens who were suspected of opposing the war effort -- including the prominent opponent of conscription and Mayor of Montreal Camillien Houde, Canadians of German and Italian descent, and homegrown fascists such as Adrien Arcand -- as well as captured German and Italian merchant mariners.In this comprehensive illustrated account of Camp B, Andrew Theobald examines the daily lives and tribulations of those imprisoned behind the barbed wire. "Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers" also scrutinizes the troubling context that led to the internment of both refugees and Canadian citizens, the debates over the ethics of internment inside and outside the camp, and the role of the camps in shaping government policy towards immigration and the post-war powers of the Canadian state."Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers" is volume 26 of the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series. |

| Title: A Camera on the Banks |
| Sub-title: Frederick William Wallace and the Fishermen of Nova Scotia |
| By (author): M. Brook Taylor |
| ISBN10-13: 0864924410 : 9780864924414 |
| Frederick William Wallace, a young Montreal journalist and an accomplished commercial artist, was enthralled by ships. Between 1911 and 1916, in the last age of unassisted sail, he made seven voyages aboard fishing schooners to the banks off Nova Scotia. Taking a simple box camera, Wallace photographed the men, the vessels, and the work itself, knowing that he was capturing a way of life at the moment of its passing. Wallace's clear, dramatic photographs recreate a turning point in history and the men who lived it. Wallace published few of these photographs. Instead, he became a well-known writer of articles for magazines, including National Geographic, and the author of many popular seafaring novels. His most famous book, the encyclopedic Wooden Ships and Iron Men, is still in print. In A Camera on the Banks, M. Brook Taylor presents the story of a fishery on the brink of change and the pioneering photojournalist who documented it so lovingly. A professor of history at Mount Saint Vincent University, he curated the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic exhibit that displayed Wallace's work to the public for the first time. |

| Title: A Cruising Guide to the Bay of Fundy and the St. John River |
| By (author): Nicholas Tracy Illustrated by: Sarah Petite |
| ISBN10-13: 0864921292 : 9780864921291 |
| Here, at last, is the definitive cruising guide to the Bay of Fundy and the St. John River. For almost two decades, Nicholas Tracy has sailed this fabled waterway in his 22-foot sloop Harfang, taking idiosyncratic notes on the Bay. The result is a comprehensive, yet entertaining, guide of unsurpassed completeness, accuracy and accessibility. From the dramatic cliffs of Grand Manan to the pastoral shores of the St. John River, from the tidal rivers of the Annapolis Basin to the rugged southwestern shore of Nova Scotia, Nicholas Tracy covers the cruising waters of the Bay in more detail than has ever been done before. Included in the book are all the harbouts and passages, from the Lubec Channel and the infamous Reversing Falls to the shores of Cape Sable. Combining historical research with personal experience and wisdom gleaned from fishermen and sailors who have spent a lifetime on the Bay, Nicholas Tracy has written an indispensable guide to the Bay of Fundy. Fully illustrated with headland drawings and tidal charts, this Cruising Guide also includes navigational information, notes on customs regulations, anchorages, sources of fuel and provisions, and insightful observations about life ashore and the phenomena of the Bay. |

| ISBN10-13: 0864923120 : 9780864923127 |
| Tess Corrigan seems to be living the good life. She is a popular politician, the first female Member of the Newfoundland House of Assembly. Originally from a tiny coastal village, she now lives in St. John's with her husband and their son, a hockey-mad twelve-year-old. Growing up in a religious community, Tess has suffered the shame of being the child of a bigamous marriage. She decides to track down her father, an American charmer who wed her mother without revealing that he already had a wife. Preoccupied with this quest and her work, Tess has no inkling of trouble until a revelation by an acquaintance sets into motion a series of betrayals, recriminations and admissions that shake her life to its foundations. |

| Title: A Full House and Fine Singing |
| Sub-title: Diaries and Letters of Sadie Harper Allen |
| By (author): Mary Biggar Peck |
| ISBN10-13: 0864921403 : 9780864921406 |
| "Mr. Baird, Miss Pick, Aunt Alice and Aunt Kate and Stead Black were up. We played games, Up Jenkins and Fuzz Buzz, and had music, five playing on one piano." In the 1890s, a girl in a small Canadian town like Shediac, New Brunswick, didn't have much to do — except tease boys, learn to draw and paint, go visiting on the train, and spend hilarious evenings playing parlour games and singing around the piano. Throughout her teenage years, Sadie Harper kept a diary, faithfully or fitfully, depending on her physical and romantic health and her household duties. As a young woman, she wrote of her experiences at Mount Allison Ladies' College. Many years later, on a trip to England with her husband, University of Manitoba professor Frank Allen, Sadie regaled her mother and sisters with news of social engagements, London fashions and the people she encountered. A Full House and Fine Singing features a selection of Sadie Harper Allen's liveliest diary entries and most colourful letters, chosen by social historian Mary Biggar Peck. Illustrated with photographs and drawings, including some of Sadie's own, this book offers an authentic glimpse into the life of a young woman in turn-of-the-century Canada. |

| Title: A Good Enough Life |
| Sub-title: The Dying Speak |
| By (author): Susan Gabori |
| ISBN10-13: 086492352X : 9780864923523 |
| In A Good Enough Life, twelve terminally ill people speak about life in the face of impending death. Susan Gabori interviewed men and women, ranging in age from thirty-three to seventy-eight, who were suffering from cancer, ALS, or AIDS. They willingly confided in Gabori, knowing that talking would cleanse them and clarify their thoughts. All answered questions they had never been asked before, and many revealed things they had never told anyone else for fear of not being understood. Each self-portrait in A Good Enough Life is filled with honesty and the joy of discovery in the midst of struggles and hardship. Together, they offer a priceless gift that will be different for everyone: the opportunity to learn what we need to learn and find clues to help us on our own journey. |
