The English Opium Eater: A Biography of Thomas De Quincey by Robert MorrisonWeidenfeld & Nicolson  De Quincey is a fascinating (and topical) figure: a self-mythologizing autobiographer whose attitudes to drug-induced creativity and addiction strike highly resonant chords for a contemporary readership. Robert Morrison's biography passionately argues for the critical importance and enduring value of this neglected essayist, critic, and biographer. |
The Essential Engineer: Why Science Alone Will Not Solve Our Global Problems by Henry PetroskiKnopf Canada  Just as the great achievements of centuries past—the steamship, the airplane, the moon landing—once seemed beyond reach, the solutions to the twenty-first century’s problems await only a similar coordination of science and engineering. Eloquently reasoned and written, The Essential Engineer identifies and illuminates these problems—and, above all, sets out a course for putting ideas into action. |

From D’Arcy McGee and Nellie McClung to the Montreal Shamrocks, Brian Mulroney and beyond, Irish Canadians have made their mark. |
