      By Shoalts, Adam
       2015., Adult, Penguin Canada Call No: Bio S559a    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "When Adam Shoalts ventured into the largest unexplored wilderness on the planet, he hoped to set foot where no one had ever gone before. Shoalts was no stranger to the wilderness. He had hacked his way through jungles and swamp, had stared down polar bears and climbed mountains. But one spot on the map called out to him: the Hudson Bay Lowlands, a trackless expanse of muskeg and lonely rivers, caribou and wolf -- an Amazon of the north, parts of which to this day remain unexplored. Cutting through this forbidding landscape is a river no explorer, trapper, or canoeist had left any record of paddling. It was this river that Shoalts was obsessively determined to explore. It took him several attempts, and years of research. But finally, alone, he found the headwaters of the mysterious river. He believed he had discovered what he had set out to find. But the adventure had just begun. Unexpected dangers awaited him downstream. A classic adventure story of single-minded obsession, physical hardship, and the restless sense of wonder that every explorer has in common. But what does exploration mean in an age when satellite imagery of even the remotest corner of the planet is available to anyone? What Shoalts discovered as he paddled downriver was a series of unmapped waterfalls that could easily have killed him. Just as astonishing was the media reaction when he got back to civilization. He was crowned "Canada<U+2019>s Indiana Jones" and appeared on morning television. Adam Shoalts' expeditions, focusing on the vast Hudson Bay Lowlands, have generated new geographic knowledge and garnered international headlines"--Provided by publisher.

      By Khan, Ausma Zehanat
       2017., Adult, Minotaur Books Call No: Fic Kha   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Rachel Getty & Esa Khattak series   Volume: 3Summary Note: "On leave from Canada's Community Policing department, Esa Khattak is traveling in Iran, reconnecting with his cultural heritage and seeking peace in the country's beautiful mosques and gardens. But Khattak's supposed break from work is cut short when he's approached by a Canadian government agent in Iran, asking him to look into the death of renowned Canadian-Iranian filmmaker Zahra Sobhani. Zahra was murdered at Iran's notorious Evin prison, where she'd been seeking the release of a well-known political prisoner. Khattak quickly finds himself embroiled in Iran's tumultuous politics and under surveillance by the regime, but when the trail leads back to Zahra's family in Canada, Khattak calls on his partner, Detective Rachel Getty, for help. Rachel uncovers a conspiracy linked to the Shah of Iran and the decades-old murders of a group of Iran's most famous dissidents. Historic letters, a connection to the Royal Ontario Museum, and a smuggling operation on the Caspian Sea are just some of the threads Rachel and Khattak begin unraveling, while the list of suspects stretches from Tehran to Toronto. But as Khattak gets caught up in the fate of Iran's political prisoners, Rachel sees through to the heart of the matter: Zahra's murder may not have been a political crime at all."--From publisher.

       c2011., Adult, Knopf Canada Call No: IND Fic Bar   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "The novel begins at the age of six, Martha is taken from her family and their home in the Cat Lake First Nation in northern Ontario and flown to a residential school on James Bay. It's not a good experience. She doesn't speak English but is punished for speaking her Native language; most terrifying and bewildering, she is also "fed" to the school's attendant priest with an attraction to little girls. Ten years later, it is an emotionally devastated sixteen-year-old who finds her way home again, barely able to speak the only language her mother knows. Martha hangs out with other young people, and gives birth to a little boy, whom she calls Spider, because of a web-shaped birthmark on his forehead. She loves him but has little knowledge or experience of good parenting. She seeks comfort and forgetfulness in alcohol, and Chidlren's Aid authorities in Toronto, a place she has only heard of, take Spider away from her. When she later gives birth to Raven, a daughter, Martha's mother insists on keeping her in Cat Lake when Martha decides to move to Toronto to find Spider. When Raven turns thirteen, she feels hopeless, rejected by her mother and not sure what, if anything, life has in store for her. She enters a suicide pact with three other teens and is eventually the only one of the group still alive."--Inside front cover.
