The Truth Shows Up: A Reporter's Fifteen-Year Odyssey Tracking Down the Truth About Mulroney, Schreiber, and the Airbus Scandal by Harvey CashoreKey Porter Books  The story begins back in 1995 when 29-year-old Harvey Cashore—a producer for The Fifth Estate investigating a story about bribes in the airline industry—is tipped to a story that Airbus Industrie has paid out millions of dollars to officials in Canada. The Truth Shows Up is Harvey Cashore’s fascinating story of his more than ten-year journalistic odyssey tracking down the story of Airbus and the astonishing charges linking Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to money-lender Karlheinz Schreiber. |
What Disturbs Our Blood: A Son's Quest to Redeem the Past by James FitzgeraldRandom House Canada  Like his friends Banting and Best, Dr. John Fitzgerald was a Canadian hero. He founded Connaught Labs, saved untold lives with his vaccines, and transformed the idea of public health in Canada and the world. What so darkened his reputation that his memory has been all but erased? |
The Global Forest by Diana Beresford-KroegerViking  One of the world's experts on how trees chemically affect the environment, Canadian scientist Diana Beresford-Kroeger is on a mission to save the planet--one newly-planted tree at a time. In this new book, she skillfully weaves together ecology, ethnobotany, horticulture, spirituality, science, and alternative medicine to capture the magic spell that trees cast over us, from their untapped ecological and pharmaceutical potential to the roles they have played in our cultural heritage. |
Bennett: The Rebel Who Challenged and Changed a Nation by John BoykoKey Porter Books  In Bennett: The Rebel Who Challenged a Nation, John Boyko offers not only the first major biography of the man, but a fresh perspective on the old scholarship. Boyko looks at the prime minister’s sometimes controversial and often misunderstood policies through a longer lens, one that shows not a politician angling for votes, but rather a man following through on a life-long dedication to a greater role for government in society and the economy. |
