Published in Calendar by Krafton Publishing (16 July, 2001)
Average review score: 
Beautiful and a great resource!This calendar is really unique, it includes a remarkable number and a very wide range of events, from food & wine to music, cinema, horticulture, art, fashion and more. I can't imagine an easier way to be be in the know about all these events, particularly early enough that you can actually plan to attend! I like that the phone numbers are included and even more so that you can go the web site for links to events. Great seasonal photos.
Nothern California Festivals & Events 2002 CalendarWhat a great idea for a calendar! Each month informs me about the events in my area.These include sports,food and wine, music,film,etc. I can look ahead and make plans for the activities I don't want to miss. I especially appreciate that there are immediate citations for phone numbers in case I want more information. There is even space on each day for my personal comments and reminders. The back page states that other editions are available for southern California, Texas, New York and Illinois .Think I'll start my Christmas gift list.
Northern Cookbook
Published in Paperback by Independent Publishers Group (July, 1999)
Average review score:
weird food?You should situate the whole thing as far north as the Canadian Northern teritories.
The food preparations in the book are meant seriously........ There are still people living in this world that dont have a super market at every other corner........
I like to read cookery books, and I even found information on how to cook a polar bear in this book. It also tells how to prepare all kind of rodents, squirrels, black and grizzly bears, elk, whale , seal and lynx(bobcat), reindeer(sorry Santa).
What about Beaver in sour cream????????Or Stuffed Moose Heart?????? Or could I please You more with a muskrat meat loaf?????????Recipes for Acorn soup and pine tip tea (rich in vitamine C) are also found in the book.
Besides these - in our eyes strange -recipes it also tells how to bake a cake (with or without bear fat) or glaze carrots, and caloric values of stuff. Did you know that 1tbs of whale blubber contains 112 calories?
The book also neatly provides us with the official hunting regulations for the North West Territories. As a non resident You must pay $510 in stamp and Trophy fees for a polar bear, and you can only hunt them if they're not accompanied by young. Grizzly bears are cheaper
If you can lay your hands on a copy of this book, dont hesitate to buy it.
A must for the Northern cookThis is perhaps the best cookbook a Northerner could own. Yes, it does feature such delicacies as Jellied Moose Nose and Hawaiian Caribou Tongue, but it also contains a wealth of information on how to prepare northern fish, wild berries, tundra greens, and other local (and free) victuals.
An added bonus are the brilliant illustrations by James Simpkins.
If you ever find yourself living north of sixty, do yourself a favour: beg, borrow or steal a copy of the Northern Cookbook.
Northern Edge
Published in Hardcover by Donald I Fine (May, 1990)
Average review score:
A fabulous evocation of both the Arctic & female camaraderieBarbara Quick's novel draws you in with its promise of an adventure story set in the harsh Arctic wilderness, and this it certainly delivers, with marvelous descriptions of hard-won survival in the stark and surreally beautiful Alaskan tundra. But it is much more than a high adventure tale in the Jack London tradition: tucked within Quick's page-turning episodes of deadly storms, hungry bears, and fatal river crossings is one of the most memorable evocations of female friendships you will ever read. Add to this her many haunting images, such as birds taking their first flights and white-night sunsets, and you have a book that will hasten your reading to the end but remain in your mind for a long time afterwards.
Grab some tea and curl up...won't put it down!Whew! A real testament to the ability of women to see themselves in a different light when they courageously attempt new adventures. I know this book is out of print but anyone who is interested in good reading should try to track this book down for their library! Guess you could call and beg from the publisher? Superb writing...Barbara's talent holds you to every page. Talk about your surprise endings! Makes you feel good to be female and cultivate any bit of bravery you might have hidden under your curled and sprayed hair. Puts a perspective back into your ironing...enjoyed this so much I would recommend it very highly! Makes you want to take a trip where you don't have to worry if your makeup is smudged. Waiting for the sequel...where does Tay go from there?
Northern Flights: Tracking the Birds and Birders of Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Published in Paperback by Mountain Press Publishing Company (June, 1999)
Average review score:
Choice Magazine Best Academic Titles of 1999A feature that sets this book apart from other birding guides is DeVore's breadth of expertise, which she uses to enliven and enrich the landscape. We are given a readable description of the last million years of geologic history in the area, as well as loads of fascinating information on the natural and human history of the Great Lake. An accessible book for general readers, undergraduate and graduate students, professionals, and two-year technical program students. D. Flaspohler, Michigan Technological University
Superb description and a plea to save the UP ecosystemMany scientists, ecologists and volunteers have devoted their lives to study our feathered friends in the UP. Each has carved a niche, tracking, devotedly observing one or a few species, and illuminating another small piece of the web. Now, Sheryl DeVore, a birder with a keen eye and ear, a deep knowledge of her subject, and the ability to tell and describe, shines more light. The UP is a birder's paradise. So it is here -- to Whitefish Point, the Porcupines, Seney, the Hiawatha and Otttawa National Forests that dedicated researchers come to understand the extent of damage we have caused these creatures and to determine how we can help restore their numbers and health.

Northern Ireland: Conflict & Change
Published in Paperback by Prentice Hall (09 January, 2002)
Average review score:
Northern Ireland: Conflict & ChangeThis is an essentail read for all who study comparative politics, history, public administration and international relations or international law. Professor Tonge provideds an easy to follow, well-written book that will spark your interest for hours. In addition to updated information, Professor Tonge provides additional references for further investigation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has developed a curiousity regarding the events in Northern Ireland or for poli-sci courses that deals with comparative policy/political studies or a course in international conflict.
A must readThis book is absolutely the best book written on the history of the "Troubles." It comes from a very unbiased source who attempts to explain the 300 plus years of conflict to those who have no knowledge of the troubles in the North. It is also enlightening to us who do have knowledge and insight into the conflicts of Northern Ireland. If you ever wanted to know about the "Troubles," or want to know more, this book is a must read. It should be the first book read before anyone takes on any study of the conflicts which shroud Northern Ireland.
Northern Lights: A Hanukkah Story
Published in Hardcover by Kar-Ben Publishing (August, 1994)
Average review score:
My favorite Hanukkah bookI am a teacher in an elementary school, and this is by far the most beautiful book I've found about Hanukkah. A snow storm prevents a pilot and his daughter from getting home for Hanukkah on a cold Alaskan night. The young girl tells the story of Hanukkah to an inuit woman and her daughter. They light an old oil lamp, and observe the northern lights together. It is a most beautiful and meaningful cultural exchange. The wonderful, realistic and colorful illustrations also add immensely to the beauty of the book.
Northern Lights: A Hanukkah StoryThis book is excellent. When a little girl can't be home for Hanukkah, she shares the story and traditions with her new friends. This book not only offers a bit of Hanukkah, but some Eskimo culture as well. The pictures are beautiful and captivating. Children will love it.

A beautiful coffee table book!
This one was given to me as a gift by an Alaskan friend, and I shall cherish it. It is an absolutely awesome collection of photographs of the Northern Lights, with accompanying text describing the legends, myths and theories surrounding the phenomenon.
The typography and layout are first-class, and the whole project is an absolutely flawless collection of photographs and prose relating to the Aurora Borealis.
What an exquisite gift, Ted!
Joseph Pierre,BR>
author of The Road to Damascus and other books
In a word...Awesome!This spectacular collection of Aurora Borealis photographs is absolutely breathtaking. Daryl Pederson and Calvin Hall have captured the essence of the mysterious wonders of the Northern Lights with their combined abilities. Having lived in Alaska we have long admired the rare talents of Mr Pederson. My husband and I own many of his prints and continue to enjoy them daily. We most definately will order some from this offering. This book is a must for everyone who appreciates the visual splenders displayed by the Aurora Borealis or just loves to look at georgeous photography.
Northern Passages : Feisty Tales of "Growing Up North"
Published in Paperback by Avery Color Studios (1995)
Average review score:
hilarious!, yet you can still identify with itthis is only the 3rd book in a series of five and i can already guaruntee that no matter where you'e from, you'll love this book! living near Flint, Michigan most of my life and going to the UP a few times makes it even easier to identify with this book. i've been through the town where the writer grew up(in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) and its a lot like my hometown. especially in the first story, the Kindergarten Chronicles, i can really agree with the writer. it felt like you were the dumbest kid in class on the first day of kindergarten, but it also felt like you were already tons smarter than everybody else and you were the only sane one there! at one point in the story, when the writer's class' assingnment was to draw a ball and color it, they could only choose from red, yellow or black. the writer uses a turquoise(sophisticated!)crayon that he brought from home and a tinkertoy can to make a perfectly round circle while the teacher isn't looking. since the kid next to him was having trouble, he thought he would help him out and tell him his secret. when he finished explaining, it said,"He gave me a blank stare." AMEN! this same thing happened to me a lot, and still does. another example of feeling like you're the only smart one there. and when their teacher tells them she'll pick the best one and the artist will be the winner. when she "judges", she says "they're all so good i can't decide! so you're all winners!" AMEN! again! i hated this when it happened to me! the writer then writes, "It was clear the school system didn't appreciate independent thinkers." this is how i always felt. then the same kid he tries to help does something that i was much too chicken to do as a little kid for fear of getting into deep trouble (that i shouldn't mention directly because i'd be spoiling it for you) to the fat kid who takes over all the toys, the writer gets blamed for it. so when the teacher keeps him after school, the kid who did it says it was him, not the narrator. after he(the narrator) is let off, the teacher tells him that his ball was actually the best, and she just didn't want to hurt the other kids' feelings. i can identify with this, too. i couldn't stand the suspense. gee,i hope i didn't spoil too much for you, but it was necessary to help get my point across of why i love this book. besides, this was only part of the first story in a book of 9 short stories. again, if you want a grab-it and read a great, quick, funny, book(with modestly clean humor), this is the book for you! do not pass this one up!!
Growing Up In Rural AmericaNorthern Passages is the third book in Jerry Harju's chronicles of growing up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It is chock full of adventures of his boyhood. Even if you grew up in the city, when reading this book you can experience growing up in rural America. Northern Passages is filled with humor, nostalgia, and sometimes sadness. Every child's first day of school is a memorable one, but in Jerry's life it was even more than that. Imagine a five-year-old explaining to his mother why he was kept after school. This book also commemorates piano recitals, the annual Fourth of July bonfire, the poignancy of changing schools in the middle of the year, Jerry's introduction to and coping with segregation, the rigors of catechism class, home economics without the girls, and finally his night out with the boys, visiting a wide open Wisconsin border town at the ripe old age of sixteen. From beginning to end, each page of Northern Passages will bring a smile and a chuckle.

CHALLENGING BOOK ON IRELAND BY KEITH GERNERKeith's story begins in a godly English home, and continues through exciting days in Ireland, with the early Charismatic renewal and street level Evangelism, expressing love for both Protestant and Catholic Irish people alike. Now rooted in the land and people of their adoption, Keith and Elsie share the lessons, experiences and fruit of their international ministry and frequent travels. The lessons this book teaches us are hammered out on the anvil of his life - successes and mistakes alike. I've quoted this over-used metaphor because there has been much of this hammerings in Keith's life. He well knows the truth of Our Lord's promise in John 16:33: " In the world you shall have tribulation " The Lord keeps His promise and assures us in the midst of pressure that He has overcome, so be of good cheer. There is much to cheer about in this story! Adventures of living faith, when God steps in at the last minute; healings of the seriously ill, which touch the emotions; words of supernatural knowledge, and reconciliation across the divide of religion and race; all jostle together. This wisdom is laced with Keith's dry sense of humour, which could be easily missed. Who would get married on the verse of 1 Samuel 17:10 "Give me a man that we may fight together"? - Well, Elsie did! Keith has learned to protect and inspire his two sons and daughter; they all love and serve Keith's master. That is a great commendation, and one we should honour and seek to emulate.
Secondly there are a large number in full-time ministry today who recognise and gladly confess the influence of Keith's teaching and example as set out in this book. Keith's influence on the generations just coming up behind him is very extensive indeed. This augurs well for Ireland and tells us that Keith certainly didn't get it far wrong. May God help us through Keith's book, to also obey the vision He has given us.
