Since the melting of the great ice sheets 12,000 years ago, there have been dramatic changes in climate, landforms, and plant, animal, and human communities in North America. Scientist perceive that midway between the ice age and the present day there was a warm, dry climatic episode in areas such as south-central Saskatchewan. the Gowen sites, formerly located where SaskatoonOs municipal dump now lies, held an important part of the story. Through the study of these sites, as well as by comparisons with 113 other archaeological sites scattered throughout the Plains area, the author seeks to illuminate a poorly understood period in the prehistory of the Northern Plains. Improved understanding of past episodes of climatic warming may even prove useful to researchers considering the implications of climatic warming in our own time.

British Columbia wouldn't exist without the railway; the province was brought into the Canadian Confederation in 1871 in exchange for the promise of a transcontinental line to the West Coast. It was the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1886 that set off economic development in the province, created the city of Vancouver and spurred others to build competing lines. In Iron Road West, Derek Hayes charts the development of the province through its railway lines, using a wealth of photographs and other visuals to show how rails were laid through the wild terrain that characterized much of British Columbia. As railways revolutionized the province, they inevitably incited fierce competition and personal hatreds, creating an exciting frontier-like environment that Hayes describes in vivid detail. The book also covers the emergence of the modern freight railway in British Columbia, including fully automated and computerized trains. An extensive section details our railway legacy, including preserved railways, locomotives and facilities that can still be visited today. Prolifically illustrated, Iron Road West will fascinate not only railway enthusiasts, but anyone with an interest in the history of the province.

Diary of an internment camp at Banff/Castle Mountain, operating between 1915 and 1917.

Ukrainians first came to Canada a century ago, seeking a new life on the western prairies. They brought with them an ancient and rich cultural tradition, deeply rooted in Christianity. The most visible symbol of this tradition is the Ukrainian church with its distinctive cupolas. As soon as the settlers were established in the new land, they began to reshape their environment by building churches in the styles they remembered from their homeland. In this richly illustrated volume, the authors trace the continuity of tradition in achitecture, art, and community life from Ukraine to the parishes of the Manitoba prairie. In a detailed examination of the exteriors and interiors of forty-nine churches, the book establishes a typology of Ukrainian church designs. Biographies of the architects, master builders, and artists are included, along with a guide to the art and architecture of a Ukrainian church.
