- Top 60 canoe routes of Ontario / by Callan, Kevin,author.; translation of:Callan, Kevin.Top 50 canoe routes of Ontario.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A new edition of the best-selling guide, expanded with 10 more routes over 48 more pages. Ontario is blessed with some of the most scenic and enjoyable lakes and rivers in the world - it truly is a paddler's paradise. Like the first edition of this book, this updated and expanded second edition is destined to become the classic guide to the very best canoeing the province has to offer. Top 60 Canoe Routes of Ontario includes 10 more of Kevin Callan's favorite canoe excursions. While some of these routes are well known to paddlers province-wide, such as the Bonnechere River, others are hidden secrets, like the ambitious and magical Woodland Caribou Park. The routes range from two-day paddles to week-long expeditions and are divided amongst nine regions: Southern Ontario, Cottage Country, Algonquin, Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, Temagami, Ontario's Near North, Northern Ontario and Northwestern Ontario. Kevin gives paddlers all the information they need to complete each route, including accurate maps of all access points, portage lengths, important river features and campsites - all embellished with historical notes and Kevin's trademark humor. He also includes a detailed "Before You Go" section in which he shares the expertise that has earned him the title of Canada's Happy Camper."--- Subjects: Guidebooks.; Canoes and canoeing;

- My fourth time, we drowned : seeking refuge on the world's deadliest migration route / by Hayden, Sally,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Reporter Sally Hayden was at home in London when she received a message on Facebook from an Eritrean refugee: "Hi sister Sally, we need your help ... " The sender had been held in a Libyan detention center for months, locked in with hundreds of others. But now, the surrounding city was crumbling as warring factions battled around them. They were stuck, defenseless, and with only one hope: contacting the journalist they knew would tell their true story. With that begins Hayden's staggering account of the migrant crisis across North Africa. Built on years of reporting and unprecedented contact with dozens of people inside Libyan detention centers, Hayden details their personal stories of despair, perseverance, horrific torture, and blind faith. My Fourth Time, We Drowned details the prolonged and sustained international failure that esulted in this massive humanitarian crisis, shining a light on the failure, corruption, and cynicism of organizations specifically created to prevent such tragedies. But most importantly, this book is a testament to the resilience of its subjects: how refugees and migrants stay whole and human-despite a system that wants them to be silent and disappear"--- Subjects: Boat people.; Refugees.; Emigration and immigration;

- The Silk Roads : a new history of the world / by Frankopan, Peter.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Our world was made on and by the Silk Roads. For millennia it was here that East and West encountered each other through trade and conquest, leading to the spread of ideas and cultures, the birth of the world's great religions, the appetites for foreign goods that drove economies and the growth of nations. From the first cities in Mesopotamia to the growth of Greece and Rome to the depredations by the Mongols and the Black Death to the Great Game and the fall of Communism, the fate of the West has always been inextricably linked to the East. The Silk Roads vividly captures the importance of the networks that crisscrossed the spine of Asia and linked the Atlantic with the Pacific, the Mediterranean with India, America with the Persian Gulf. By way of events as disparate as the American Revolution and the horrific world wars of the twentieth century, Peter Frankopan realigns the world, orientating us eastwards, and illuminating how even the rise of the West 500 years ago resulted from its efforts to gain access to and control these Eurasian trading networks. In an increasingly globalized planet, where current events in Asia and the Middle East dominate the world's attention, this magnificent work of history is very much a work of our times"--Provided by publisher.LSC- Subjects: World history.; Trade routes; East and West; Imperialism; Culture conflict; Acculturation;
