	Behind Bars Inside Ontario's Heritage Jails by Ron Brown The history of Ontario includes a rich array of heritage jails, many of which were designed by leading architects of the time. Built before the modern era of the OPP, these gaols range in size from single-cell lock ups to massive monuments such as the Kingston Pen and the Don Jail. Many are architectural wonders when viewed from the outside, but from the inside the conditions , generally, were desolate. Ron Brown tells the little-known stories that lie behind these jails, from the hilarious to the gruesome, including tales of ghost-town jails, torture devices, mysterious escapes, mass murder and haunted jails. ISBN 1-897045-17-4, Size 6 x 9, 160 pages, paperback, NHB $22.95
	Every Trail Has A Story Heritage Travel in Canada by Bob Henderson Canada is packed with intriguing places for travel where heritage and landscape interact to create stories that fire our imagination. Scattered across the land are incredible tales of human life over the centuries. From the Majorville rock formation (dated as being older than Stonehenge), through the systems of walking trails developed by pre-contact Native Peoples, to the more recent grand stories of the Chilkoot Gold Rush of 1897, Bob Henderson, the traveller, captures our living history in its relationship to the land — best expressed through the Norwegian quote "nature is the true home of culture." The diversity of fascinating content includes the ancient James Bay landmark (the "Wonderful" Stone); the mountain treks of naturalist Mary Schaffer Warren; the west coast observations of George Vancouver; practices such as warm winter camping and canoeing that allow for heritage insights; the trails of Dundas, Ontario; the exploits of missionary Gabriel Sagard; the recluse Louis Gamache of Anticosti Island; the abandoned gravesites along the coast of Newfoundland — to name but a few. As historian Michael Bliss once said, "We have to find a way to make history smell again." Author Bob Henderson brings the "fragrance of the past" into the present and invites us to imagine and participate. ISBN 1-896219-97-7, Size 6 x 9, 286 pages, paperback, NHB $26.95
	Paddling the Boreal Forest Rediscovering A. P. Low by Max Finkelstein & James Stone The boreal forest of Quebec/Labrador—some of the most rugged and isolated land in Canada—has captivated avid canoeists for generations. In the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, the intrepid A. P. Low of the Geological Survey of Canada spent, in total, more than ten years of his working life surveying the area. Employing Aboriginal canoemen and guides, he travelled by canoe, snowshoe and sailing vessel to map and document much of this vast territory. Challenged by the mystique of this extraordinary Canadian, canoeists Max Finkelstein and James Stone retraced Low's routes—by their admission, their toughest canoe trip ever! Using archival sources, oral history and personal experience, they tell the story of A. P. Low and, in the process, reveal the environmental issues now facing this much threatened Canadian wilderness. ISBN 1-896219-98-5, Size 6 x 9, 256 pages, paperback, NHB $26.95
