.How to Be a Canadian by: Will Ferguson, Ian Ferguson February 28, 2008 How to be a Canadian", written by Will and Ian Ferguson (both Canadian), is a short book that aims at making you laugh by making fun of some stereotypes regarding Canada and Canadians. I must confess that I thought that some parts of this book were a bit boring.

.Cover-up of Convenience: The Hidden Scandal of Lockerbie by: Ian Ferguson, John Ashton May 10, 2001 John Ashton and Ian Ferguson's new book on Lockerbie "Cover-up of Convenience" describes itself as "Lifting the lid on the story the public never heard."

.Mokume Gane (Jewellery Handbooks) by: Ian Ferguson November 30, 2002 Some books are pretty, some books are useful, and some introduce something new. Very few do all three well enough to really be read through more than once. Ferguson has created a vital resource that anyone interested in this subject must not only read, but own. With this book and Steve Midgett's Mokume-Gane in the Small Shop, you will have 90% of available modern published information (in English, at least) on the subject of making your own mokume. Ferguson goes into incredible detail (micrographs of lamination areas, consideration of the entire periodic table, color photographs of samples, etc), and has personally pushed this technique to a new level by laminating previously unheard-of combinations through his own particular methods. The book is packed tight with ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Mokume Gane (Jewellery Handbooks) |
