Book Description
Motorcycle racers aren't like other sports people. When they enter the arena they are taking their lives in their hands. When they are on the race track, if they are not there in every sense of the word, they are more likely to be at risk of serious injury or death. Very few champions can explain exactly what it takes to compete at the highest ......

Book Description
Voyageur Classics is a series of special versions of Canadian classics, with added material and new introductions. In this bundle we find five classic works of twentieth century fiction, drama and poetry, a period when Canada’s literary identity was shaped. Originally published in 1962, The Silence on the Shore is considered by many critics to be renowned Hugh Garner’s best, most ambitious novel. Originally published in 1967, Combat Journal for Place d’Armes was initially met with shock and anger by most reviewers but has become a literary touchstone. The Donnellys tells the tale of a secret society and a massacre that shocked the Canadian public, a story overlooked by the artistic community until Reaney’s 1975 play elevated the events to the level of legend. In This Poem I Am presents the best of poet Robin Skelton’s adventurous poetry. And Exploration Literature is a groundbreaking collection of early writing inspired by the opening of a continent, an entry point into the beginnings of a literate response to the awe and wonder inspired by an unfolding geography. Includes Canadian Exploration Literature Combat Journal for Place d’Armes The Donnellys In This Poem I Am The Silence on the Shore

Book Description
On January 30, 1954 a great showman passed away. His name was John Murray Anderson. A few days before, he had submitted to his publishers the final version of his autobiography as told to his brother, Hugh Abercrombie Anderson. It is, therefore, with mixed emotions that we find ourselves privileged to present the full and complete story of “Uncle Broadway.” As Robert Coleman, distinguished drama editor and critic, has said: “John Murray Anderson pioneered a new form of revue. Revues, until his time, had been super burlesque shows. And, mind you, the great Florenz Ziegfeld was producing them successfully. But Murray brought heart, sophistication, brilliance and genuine artistry to them. He explored new paths and set new standards for the form.” We have all been saddened by Murray’s death; but we are thankful that he has left such wonderful memories behind—memories of twenty-nine major Broadway musicals beginning with his own Greenwich Village Follies and including Jumbo, New Faces of 1952 and the last, John Murray Anderson’s Almanac. Among the other works to his credit are seven circuses for Ringling Brothers and four aquacades for Billy Rose, not to mention the multitude of movie stage shows, night club shows, pageants and motion pictures. For the pleasure of many hours with a wonderful, stimulating and informative friend, read Out Without My Rubbers. It includes information and anecdotes concerning hundreds of familiar people and places. This book is not only for the theater-minded but for all those interested in meeting new and exciting people.

Book Description
Neilson (1872-1942) was the son of a small settler and contract labourer in Western Victoria, and led the same kind of life as his father, helping his family work a number of disastrous selections and adding to their income by seasonal jobs at fencing, fruit picking, quarrying and woodcutting. His mother and two of his sisters died young, and he and his brothers suffered from chronic ailments attributable to poor diet and constant anxiety.

Book Description
Among the most acclaimed and accomplished theologians of the last 100 years, Jurgen Moltmann is also one of the most popular. This autobiography will certainly be widely read in the churches and the academy and will shed light on the intellectual development of this enormously influential theologian. He has marked the history of theology after the Second World War in Europe and North America like no other. He is the most widely read, quoted, and translated theologian of our time. Now, after Jurgen Moltmann has celebrated his eightieth birthday, he looks back on a life engaged in and forging a Christian response to the tumult and opportunities of our time. In his autobiography Jurgen Moltmann tells his life story, from the Hamburg youth in the "alternative" parental home up to the present moment, and he reflects on the journey of his own theological development and creativity. A wide-ranging document alert to the deeper currents of his time and ours, A Broad Place is an entertaining reconsideration of a life full of intense experience and new beginnings.
