- The year Canadians lost their minds and found their country : the Centennial of 1967 / by Hawthorn, Tom,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Richly illustrated with period photographs and ephemera, here is the story of that fun, exciting year, told in the same giddy spirit with which Canadians celebrated. Uncover the strange and unique ways that individual Canadians marked the occasion, the birth of traditions, and the moment when Canadians discovered who they were and got a hint about who they were to become in this modern age. Once hewers of wood and pliers of water, they discovered a talent for literature, for design, for athletics, for innovation. And above all, it was a party never to be forgotten. Fifty years later, Canadians are once again celebrating a major milestone in their history, and once again, things are starting off with a collective yawn. Will the national spirit once again burst into flame? It could--if Canadians take a cue from the unlikely, inspiring story of The Year Canadians Lost Their Minds and Found Their Country."--From publisher's website.- Subjects: National characteristics, Canadian.; Nationalism;

- Curling rocks! : chronicles of the roaring game / by Cullen, John(Curler),author.;
"Drawing on author John Cullen's years of experience as both a stand-up comic and an elite curler, Curling Rocks! offers a lighthearted, expertly detailed look at a unique sport and its history, from the most absurd curling fashions to the most sublime matches ever played. The sport of curling continues to expand its global reach, attracting new players and fans far beyond traditional strongholds. Yet, even in Canada--a country with a long curling history and fifteen hundred clubs of its own--the game is often dismissed as an eccentric pastime. According to author John Cullen, this is because curling is both inherently funny and chronically underestimated as a battle of skill and strategy. And Cullen is perfectly qualified to make this double-edged claim: not only is he a stand-up comic with many years of experience at the mic, but he's had years on the ice as an elite curler. Because most previous books on curling have been either how-to guides or standard biographies of prominent players, there has long been space for a reader-friendly overview of the "roaring game" (a nickname inspired by the sound of the forty-pound stone en route to its target). Curling Rocks! sets out to fill this gap with a lighthearted, expertly detailed account of the sport, ranging from the absurd to the sublime. Next to his observations on ill-fitting fashions and odd scandals--among them "Broomgate," when controversial new sweeping technology almost took out the curling world--Cullen offers insights on everything from the greatest matches ever played to the peculiar heartbreak that comes with losing. In these inviting, irreverent and often deeply personal essays, Cullen finally gives the perplexing, beloved game its due."--- Subjects: Curling.; Curling;
