It was the story that rocked the 2002 Winter Olympics and directed the world's gaze to figure skating. Canadian champions Jamie Salé and David Pelletier finished second to Elena Berezhnaia and Anton Sikharulidze by the narrowest of margins in the Olympic figure skating pairs final. But a judge later admitted she'd been pressured to put the Russians first. Acknowledging a wrong had been done, the International Olympic Committee awarded a second gold medal to Salé and Pelletier: Their silver was upgraded to a second gold after an uproar, ensuing controversy, and an investigation revealed that indeed a judge had succumbed to pressure to vote for the Russian pair instead.

Chapters include: The Early Days Two Solitudes Together at last The Olympic Games The Scandal Erupts Happy Ending. Salé and Pelletier embody the true spirit of the Olympic ideal, and have established themselves as world-class athletes. They have thrilled audiences everywhere, and here for the first time is their story that is sure to inspire legions of fans and young skaters across the country and around the world.

What a story! The characters are entire continents?moving around the surface of the Earth, crashing into each other, crushing islands, raising mountain ranges and opening and closing vast oceans?and the plot is nothing less than the formation of the planet on which we live. The world?s geological past is a mystery of vanished oceans, towering mountain ranges and crashing continents. How did these evolutionary changes happen? In Canada a scientific project called Lithoprobe uses huge earth- pounding trucks known as ?dancing elephants?. Scientists send shockwaves deep down to the earth?s crust which bounce back once they have hit a surface below. The readings show what is going on below the earth?s surface right down to the tectonic plates that underlie the land beneath our feet. With this information, scientists can now map the earth?s core and solve the mysteries of its evolution. Dancing Elephants and Floating Continents provides a fascinating and readily understandable explanation of the history of the Earth; how it has evolved and changed and how it continues to change, shift and grow. Filled with detailed, full-colour illustrations and original lithographic prints of the earth?s core, this is a unique, educational and just plain cool view of the earth we stand on.

Computer nerd Alex Lyndon and bullrider Kelly Parker are about as different from one another as two people can be. Yet they somehow manage to become both friends and business partners. But the bonds of friendship become strained when Alex learns of Kelly’s connection with The Devil’s Platoon, a gang with a bad reputation. As Kelly rides for Lawrence High at the Regional Rodeo Finals, a lot more than a silver buckle is at stake in this engaging story of competition and comradeship.

Mike Weir: Golf Master traces the life and times of the golfer, from his humble childhood in small-town Ontario to his rise to the top of the golfing world. Weir is the winner of seven PGA tour events in the last six years and the 2003 Masters champion. Author Andrew Podnieks hits the highs and lows of an unusual career that found Weir enduring the rigors of Q-school (known as the Survivor of the golfing world); living a hardscrabble existence out of his car during the Canadian and Nationwide Tour; and reveling in the glory of playing against the sport’s greatest champions every week.

Canada is rich in history and culture, but it’s the country’s natural beauty that makes it unique. Within its borders lie some of the most spectacular vistas and wildlife anywhere. This diverse nation’s blanket of unparalleled beauty unfolds from the sweeping lowlands of the Arctic to the dewy rainforests of the Pacific Northwest to the dramatic stone outcroppings of the Canadian Shield. In this coast-to-coast photographic panorama, Mike Grandmaison presents a country whose seasons are variable and changing, reflecting the many moods of nature in all their glory. Whether it is the sight of an iceberg scudding along Newfoundland’s coast, the ethereal expanse of prairie fields in autumn, or the melancholy beauty of a setting sun behind a mountain range, Grandmaison’s photography captures the essence of a country where much of the wilderness remains untouched. Shelagh Rogers complements the images with a thoughtful introduction on what makes the country so special.

Molly and Adam Barnett have had more than enough trouble lately. First, they discovered that their dearly departed grandfather wasn’t quite as “departed” as a dead guy should be. Then, they had to save their dad from a dreaded family curse. The final installment in the Ghosthunters trilogy opens with Molly and Adam making a frightening discovery: the emerald in Reggie’s ring was once on an ancient Indian elephant carving. The other eye is nowhere to be found, and if the eyes aren't soon returned to the elephant, ghosts everywhere will repossess their former bodies, and the world will be doomed. Will Molly and Adam be able to find the elephant, and the missing eye, in time? In The Hunt for the Haunted Elephant, Matas and Nodelman offer a satisfying conclusion to a trilogy filled with thrills, chills, and more than a few laughs.
