.Streetwise Toronto Map - Laminated Center City Street Map of Toronto, Canada - Folding pocket size travel map with integrated subway & trolley bus lines & stations (Streetwise (Streetwise Maps))
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Streetwise Maps

January 02, 2008
I purchased this in 2003 for a trip later that year. I had no problems getting around, but after multiple trips to the city I would recommend buying a map once you're in the city. I spotted a minor error with the subway listings, and they list a non-existent green space in the Annex neighborhood...I asked a passerby and they had no idea where it could be! The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) has free, to-date-maps that are available in all the stations with agents. So do some booths at Pearson Airport. Still, the foldable, waterproof format is super-convenient. Just remember to pick up a more current map and carry the Streetwise one when you're walking around for general reference.

Woodall's camping directories save time and money. Whether you are setting up a long trip and reserve a spot for each night's or are "winging it" you can find a variety of places to stay along with good reviews of each park. And, with today's high gas prices it's even more valuable for finding local "staycation" spots.

.Sisterchicks Down Under (Sisterchicks Series #4)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Robin Jones Gunn

March 31, 2005
Sisterchicks Down Under does not live up to Sisterchicks Do the Hula. I credit the author with writing woman-positive story interwoven with Christian themes. In this book, the author explores the Crucifixion, with what could be a powerful climax. (Biblical passages and themes support the story throughout.) However, I was so bored by the end that I totally missed the climax.

Descriptions of New Zealand and Australia were impeccable. I felt like I was the one on vacation! I actually want to visit both countries, or at least tap into their cultures via the world wide web! What bored me was the dialogue. It was completely lackluster. The dialogue is often filled with jokes between Kathy and Jill, our heroines. But, to me, the jokes ... Read More:

.People of the Deer (Death of a People)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Farley Mowat

December 20, 2004
"People of the Deer" is apparently Farley Mowat's first book and one of his best. He lived for a year amongst the Ihalmiut, an Inuit people Mowat refers to as "People of the Deer" although they regarded themselves, as have many aborigonal people, as simple "The People."

They are people of the deer--caribou--because, unlike other Inuit groups they are not sea hunters but, instead predators of the migratory caribou herds. The herds have declined in numbers but not as much as the Ihalmiut. From a population high of around 7,000 they had, by Mowat's time, declined to only 40. Why? The impact of European Civilization is too simple of a generalization but, in the Ihalmiut, a people almost extinct, we see the fate of millions.

.The Grey Seas Under: The Perilous Rescue Mission of a N.A. Salvage Tug
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Farley Mowat

April 01, 2001
Farley does it again, his writing is superb and he has given me many happy hours reading in the past, and this book is no exception. An exciting account of salvage work off the coast of some of our most dangerous waters. How in the world Farley manages to make salvage work exciting is beyond me but his tales are gripping
