A large research space ship also needs people to do the daily jobs the scientists don’t want to do. As cook Betty Sebring said, they need "plumbers and electricians and janitors and all sorts of people.” So Pete Johnson, a master plumber forced into early retirement, took a job on the Keppler, a 400-passenger research vessel. He quickly found out how important his job was when he encountered the problems left by the former plumber. The biggest problem was maintenance on the system's water system. As was Bill West, the ship's Chief Engineer explained: “If we had tried to carry enough water for a crew of 400 out for several years, it would have weighed more than the rest of the ship combined, and would have more than tripled our size. It’s much more efficient and effective to recycle the water. Clean it up and use it again.” Part of that process was a river and the gardens. In the words of First Mate Perkins, "The engineers who designed this vessel decided to make it as self-sustaining as possible, so all the food you will eat was grown on the station. We’re a closed ecosystem, and it works better that way.” Pete has his work cut out for him, performing long-overdue maintenance, fixing plumbing design flaws and helping uncover an espionage plot. "Plumber Pete Goes to Space" is the first in a series of how a good man in a 'normal' job keeps the ship running at top shape and builds a life in space.

Since its publication in 1947, Who Has Seen the Wind has sold over half a million copies in Canada alone, and more than 5,000 copies on cassette. Now, this magnificent archival recording of W.O. Mitchell reading his famous novel can be enjoyed on CD. Hailed as the great Canadian classic of boyhood, Who Has Seen the Wind tells the story of young Brian, who learns about life and death, freedom and justice, as he comes of age in the west. Set in the fictional town of Crocus, Saskatchewan, the novel explores the evolving consciousness of Brian O’Connal, the local druggist’s son. Just four years old at the novel’s outset, Brian brings a delightfully naive and undeniably canny sensibility to the pivotal experiences of childhood and adolescence. Moving, humorous, and eloquent, Who Has Seen the Wind portrays the beauty and power of the Prairies and of the human spirit, and introduces some of the most vivid characters ever in Canadian fiction. A consummate performer and irrepressible storyteller, W.O. Mitchell reads his best-loved work in the inimitable style that has delighted audiences throughout Canada for generations.

In this coming-of-age story is set in small-town, Depression-era Saskatchewan. The son of local pharmacist Gerald O'Connal, Brian is a typical boy who dislikes school if only because of his run-ins with the nervous schoolteacher, Miss MacDonald, and who tries to catch gophers with his friends. His best friend and protector is slightly older Jonathan Ben, son of the town still keeper and drunk.

A series of events helps Brian see life around him through slightly older and wiser eyes.
