Ball's Falls Conservation Area

Ontario's rich geologic history is illustrated here by short descriptions of more than 200 field sites ranging from Timmins in the north to Windsor in the south. These include the Sleeping Giant near Thunder Bay; Agawa Canyon; the Sudbury meteorite crater; Niagara Escarpment; the Falls and Gorge; numerous caves, the mineral-rich Bancroft area; and the high lakeshore cliffs at Scarborough Bluffs. Some sites are sacred to First Nations and are associated with spectacular rock art.

This illustrated dictionary introduces the way of life of the early Native peoples who lived across North America. Different nations are featured in spreads that show their way of life in their particular region. Themes include homes, food, clothing, transportation and hunting techniques.

Reading Julie Berry?s poetry means entering a new poetic space, crossing thresholds of pain and delight at once raw and refined. ?like marie d?oignies who buried bloody/ mouthfuls of herself/ in the garden/ i need my poems to be like this,? Berry writes in ?Touching Ground.?  ?Like this? is finely-turned and constantly surprising, haunting as plainsong, throaty as the blues.
