Book Description
When Erika Drake, of the Westmount Drakes, met and fell in love with Marc Reiser, a Jew from northern Ontario, their respective worlds were turned upside down. Set against the backdrop of the first three years of the Second World War, Earth and High Heaven captured the hearts and minds of its generation and helped to shape the more diverse and inclusive culture we have today. Published in 1944, this classic novel was very timely; it spoke of the prejudices of its time, when Gentiles and Jews did not mix in society. Earth and High Heaven was the most successful novel of its time, winning many awards and prizes, including the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in 1945 (an award founded to reward books that exposed racism or explored the richness of human diversity). It was translated into eighteen languages and the film rights were purchased by Samuel Goldwyn for a remarkable $100,000. Earth and High Heaven was the first Canadian novel to top the New York Times bestseller list for the better part of a year.

Book Description
Carl Rungius was the first career wildlife artist in North America. He spent his life studying and depicting this continent's wide-open spaces and the creatures that inhabit them. Rungius's paintings present majestic moose, elk, big horn sheep, and mountain goats in idyllic landscapes seemingly untouched by humans. He created the images that often come to mind when we think of "wilderness." During his lifetime (1869-1959), Rungius enjoyed a reputation similar to that of well-known Western painter and sculptor Frederic Remington. Though interest in his work declined following his death, Carl Rungius retains a loyal following among collectors all over North America. Well-known wildlife artists such as Robert Bateman acknowledge his influence and growing fascination with our wilderness heritage is bringing Rungius back into the public eye.
