The Best Of Quebec $22 The Best Of Quebec

A Taste of Quebec $11.48 First published in 1990, A Taste of Quebec is the definitive guide to traditional and modern cooking in this distinctive region of Canada. Featuring specialties from each section of the province, where else could you find seven recipes for tourtiere, each with a different local variation? Or the secrets behind the traditional cod-based bouillabaisse of the Gaspe? Or the haute-cuisine twist of adding local sirop d’erable to a terrine in Trois Rivieres? Now revised and updated, A Taste of Quebec, 2nd Edition, again brings you a balance of Quebec’s culinary past and present. Featuring over 125 new recipes and traditional favourites, A Taste of Quebec, 2nd Edition, also: Highlights new up-and-coming chefsIntroduces local growers and producersGives inside information on the province’s best restaurants and aubergesFeatures notes of architectural and historical interestAnd, provides typical regional menus for a genuine Quebecois feast With photos illustrating the people, the food, and the land sprinkled throughout, more than ever Taste of Quebec is the all-in-one food lover’s journey through la belle province. Written by Quebec’s respected culinary authority, Julian Armstrong, A Taste of Quebec, 2nd Edition, details the history, folklore details, and gastronomic stamp of each area of the province as explored during the author’s 40 years in her adopted home. As she says, "[Quebec] is a beautiful land with a history both distinctive and fascinating; its people are generous in sharing tales of their family cooking. I hope readers who know Quebec will find old friends among the recipes, and those who visit the province will enjoy seeking out those dishes from its past and present as much as I have." In its breadth, depth, and love of the land, Taste of Quebec has no equal.

QUEBEC $115.48 In this richly documented work, Serge Courville tells the geographical history of Quebec, from the appearance of the first human groups through to the present day. This detailed and erudite book maps the major stages of Quebec’s collective development, providing a geographical record of the many social relationships that over time created a sense of place. Landscape, Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the record of successive changes, and a witness to the genesis of the new. Places that were once agricultural, then left to waste and ruin, are today revivified by tourism. Areas that now house office buildings were long ago open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing on vast research, Courville shows how, in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures – or perhaps because of it – the land itself may be seen as an important participant in the history of its peoples. Quebec: A Historical Geography was originally published by Les Presses de l’Universite Laval as Le Quebec: Geneses et mutation du territoire.

The Visit : 0824958594 $2.99 In December of 1823, the poem now known as The Night Before Christmas was first published anonymously and has since become the best loved Christmas poem of all time. Now, for the first time in The Visit, Dinghy Sharp, a direct descendant of recognized author Clement Clarke Moore, shares her delightful story with us all, and reveals the history and origin of this beloved poem as it has been passed down for generations in the Moore family.

Visit, The $9.99 A cast of distinguished veterans and promising newcomers headline this stark prison drama from first-time writer-director Jordan Walker-Pearlman. Hill Harper stars as embittered inmate Alex, sentenced to serve time for a rape he claims that he didn’t commit. His link to the outside world is his upper-middle class bother Tony (Obba Babatunde), the only family member who’s come to visit him in the half-decade he’s been in jail. On his latest visit, Alex pleads with Tony to have the rest of the family visit him, admitting that he’s in the final stages of his battle with AIDS. Through flashbacks, dream sequences, and real-time encounters, Alex interacts with the people who have shaped his life — his parents (Marla Gibbs and Billy Dee Williams), his old friend (Rae Dawn Chong), and his therapist (Phylicia Rashad) — and attempts to overcome the seething anger and resentment that have punctuated his time in prison. The Visit was greeted with much acclaim when it premiered at the 2000 Method Fest Independent Film Festival. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

Wonderful Visit $19.79 Although Wells is best known for his science fiction stories he was also a serious commentator on the political scene surrounding World War I. H G Wells (1866 – 1946) wrote both fiction and non-fiction. He worked in many genres including novels, history, and social commentaries. The Wonderful Visit tells the story of a fallen angel. The angel must try and adapt to life in a small English village. The angel’s reactions to the villagers, along with his pureness and wholesomeness make him an enemy of the people. As he spends more time on Earth he becomes more human. He experiences love, human trials, and life.

The Visit $11.98 Dürrenmatt once wrote of himself: “I can best be understood if one grasps grotesqueness,” and The Visit is a consummate, alarming Dürrenmatt blend of hilarity, horror, and vertigo. The play takes place “somewhere in Central Europe” and tells of an elderly millionairess who, merely on the promise of her millions, swiftly turns a depressed area into a boom town. But the condition attached to her largesse, which the locals learn of only after they are enmeshed, is murder. Dürrenmatt has fashioned a macabre and entertaining parable that is a scathing indictment of the power of greed.

The Bridge At Quebec $33.46 pThe Bridge at QuA(c)becpWilliam D. MiddletonpThe seven-decades-long struggle to build a bridge at QuA(c)bec over the St. Lawrence River. Completed in 1919, it still stands as the greatest of its kind.pIn the middle of the 19th century the leaders of the City of QuA(c)bec dreamed of a great bridge across the St. Lawrence River. It would link their city to the new railway lines developing along the south shore, giving QuA(c)bec a competitive edge in its long struggle with MontrA(c)al for commercial dominance. The width and depth of the St. Lawrence necessitated a bridge of unprecedented scale, and many of the best engineers of the time turned their attention to the problem. Three serious proposals for a bridge never materialized. A fourth plan finally moved ahead at the beginning of the 20th century, only to end in of one of the greatest construction failures of all time. In 1907 the incomplete structure collapsed into the river with a loss of 75 lives. From the ruins of this first attempt emerged still another plan. In 1916, when the great bridge was nearing completion, tragedy struck again. As the huge center span was being lifted into place, it fell into the river, taking another 11 lives. It was not until a year later that a replacement was installed, and the great bridge was finally complete. Today the QuA(c)bec Bridge stands firmly astride the St. Lawrence, safely carrying the commerce of Canada across its broad waters. No one has yet built a longer cantilever span, so the bridge still ranks as the greatest of its kind. The Bridge at QuA(c)bec provides a full account of the long effort to build a bridge at this difficult site, with particular emphasis on the extraordinary story of the failure of the first one, the human tragedies that accompanied it, and the lessons that its story holds today for engineers and builders as they continue to extend the boundaries of technology. Fully illustrated, the book makes clear to the general reader and technical aud@@ºáG®{ÿ¾Úð

At the post-station we stopped, had our luggage taken out, and decided on staying here for the night and go on to Sebastopol, which was only ten miles distant, in the morning. By daybreak, we were again seated in the cart. Within an hour we had reached the haven of Sebastopol, and crossed in a boat to the town, which was on the opposite side.

Excerpt from book: resort of the ruby-throated humming bird, whose flight from flower to flower is a flash of color merely. How cleverly constructed and how dainty its nest when discovered, but it takes a quick eye to pick out the tiny affair, so nicely is it adjusted to the color of the tree in which it is built. The little night hawk?that omnivorous moth catcher?is in considerable numbers about the city and his shrill cry can be heard any evening, and from that time until daylight. It feeds on the wing and its big mouth fits it for this method of seizing its prey. It will perch on the roof peak of a house and by its loud repeated and discordant cry attracts considerable attention to itself from the passers-by on the street. We have seen but one owl, but it passed so quickly into the darkness of the trees that we had no opportunity for identifying it. We are told of their frequent occurrence in various localities in town. An occasional partridge of an adventurous turn of mind is seen along the cliff at the Cove Fields or on the Ste. Foye side, but his visit is usually a hurried one and he soon returns to the old home in the Gomin swamp. One May morning through our open bedroom window floated a Sweet-sweet-Canada-Canada! We could scarce believe our senses?our hermitfriend of the swamps and wooded fastnesses? and on a visit to the city? But so it was and a number of companions with him. They remained so long that it looked like a housekeeping affair, but one morning they were gone and we heard and saw them no more in town, but we half way believe we met some of them on the borders of a lake we were fishing some time since. We must now read what Sir James LeMoine has to say about the birds that visit Spencer Grange. Although the latter estate is only a mile and a quarter from the city…

Wonderful Visit (Dodo Press) $11.49 Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer best known for science fiction novels such as The Time Machine (1888), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The War of the Worlds (1897), The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1900-01). He was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and produced works in many different genres, including contemporary novels, history and social commentary. He was also an outspoken socialist. His later works become increasingly political and didactic, and only his early science fiction novels are widely read today. Wells is sometimes referred to as The Father of Science Fiction. Among his most famous works are: Ann Veronica: A Modern Love Story (1909), The History of Mr. Polly (1910), The Country of the Blind and Other Stories (1911), An Englishman Looks at the World (1914), God the Invisible King (1917) and In the Fourth Year: Anticipations of a World Peace (1918).

Quebec: A Historical Geography $137.75 In this richly documented work, Serge Courville tells the geographical history of Quebec, from the appearance of the first human groups through to the present day. This detailed and erudite book maps the major stages of Quebec’s collective development, providing a geographical record of the many social relationships that over time created a sense of place. Landscape, Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the record of successive changes, and a witness to the genesis of the new. Places that were once agricultural, then left to waste and ruin, are today revivified by tourism. Areas that now house office buildings were long ago open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing on vast research, Courville shows how, in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures – or perhaps because of it – the land itself may be seen as an important participant in the history of its peoples. Quebec: A Historical Geography was originally published by Les Presses de l’Universite Laval as Le Quebec: Geneses et mutation du territoire.

Young Trudeau: 1919-1944: Son of Quebec, Father of Canada $1.39 bMax/bandbMonique Nemni/bare retired university professors who spent most of their working lives in Quebec. They were friends of Trudeau, who encouraged them to become the editors ofiCité Libre/iand agreed to let them write his intellectual biography. The authors have both been much published in academic publications in both English and in French. They now live in Toronto.A February afternoon in 1995, we were driving along Highway 20 on our way to Montreal. We had left Quebec City planning to arrive at our destination an hour early. We did not want to take a chance on being late for our meeting with Pierre Trudeau. But, what with the snow-­clogged roads, we arrived at the Indian restaurant on Crescent Street barely a few minutes before the appointed time. He, as usual, was punctual. We were quite nervous, and for good reason. We had come to talk about our plan to write his intellectual biography. We had known him, now, for five years. We had told him of our intention, and he had expressed an interest. He wanted to discuss it with us, and that was the reason for our encounter.brbrAs we shared a convivial meal, we explained as best we could what we had in mind. Trudeau listened carefully and asked a few questions. It was not his private life that interested us particularly, we told him, but we wanted to focus on his ideas, his political vision, and on how they evolved from his earliest years. To what extent, when he was actually in power, was he able to apply his ideals? He listened with interest. Finally, with some concern in his voice, he asked: “And what do you expect of me?” “Not much, really,” we replied. “We might, as the occasion arises, want to ask you a few questions, have access to unpublished documents that you still keep at home, ask you to help us contact some of the people who were close to you . . .”brbrHe kept nodding in agreement. “No problem,” he said. Then, after a silence?ö=p£×ÿ¾Úð
