Book Description
Fun on the Slinger family farm! Have you ever seen a cow pie? If you grew up on a farm, you've most certainly seen thousands--and probably stepped in a few! A cow pie is cow poop. And when cow pies dry out from days baking in the sun, they turn into cow chips, perfect for flinging, just like Frisbees.The Cow-Pie Chronicles follows 10-year-old Tim Slinger and his annoying little sister Dana as they grow up on their family dairy farm. Join Tim on his many crazy adventures--from teasing a bull to building forts in the hayloft--and learn about the realities of life on a farm, including the hard work required of Tim and Dana to take care of the land and their farm animals.

Book Description
Growing up in the middle of the last century, where the Parkland meets the Great Plains in Western Canada, did present its challenges but also furnished its rewards. The simplicity of life, the activities undertaken out of necessity, the sense of human strength against nature are all recorded in this series of short stories about a young boy raised in this era prior to him reaching school age. For the young amongst us it gives one a chance to understand how things were without any “screens”, indoor plumbing or running water and what activities filled our lives. For others it will bring back very familiar memories of your own by-gone days.

Book Description
This book is not about bipolar disorder but, rather, what the severe mania and delusions associated with the illness can do to someone when it is unknown, unchecked, and unbridled for more than fifty years! Brian Walker’s entire life has been ruled and governed by the mania that results from being bipolar. This mania has driven him to do things so far and beyond the grade that, in many cases, his actions and behaviors seem to defy all boundaries of sensibility. Whether it’s building a two-man submarine to explore the subsea world in Fiji to inventing a toy of unbelievable success to creating a rocket to be the first person to the edge of space in a home-built missile, he has always pushed the limits of sanity in many of his projects. Even after decades of failures, where seemingly everything that he attempted to do was relegated to the trash heap of broken dreams, he always lived by the saying “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm!” Trying to thrive and survive in a “normal” world with an abnormal brain has never been easy. His life has been an ongoing effort to discover the “next big thing,” as well as to just be able to get through another day. And his journey thus far has been an amazing one!

But the bush pilot, adventurer, and raconteur was just beginning, and in this book he revisits his most memorable moments of flying by the seat of his pants through blizzards and white-outs, on assignments at times hazardous and sometimes simply whacky, always with a sense of humor and due respect for the limitless wilds of Alaska beneath his wings. The world of a bush pilot really is the final frontier, and for thirty years Mort Mason was there, clocking enough heart-stopping miles to make most life-stories utterly incredible. In The Alaska Bush Pilot Chronicles Mason recounts more of his unlikely adventures in the face of Alaska’s unforgiving weather and terrain. His stories gives readers the rare chance to experience the disappearing thrills and challenges of meeting the American frontier on its own unyielding terms.

Book Description
The latest book in Alexander McCall Smith's popular 44 Scotland Street series is a sheer delight. Summer has come to Scotland Street. The long days have prompted its denizens to engage in flights of fancy. Some, like the Duke of Johannesburg’s plan to create a microlite seaplane, are literal flights, and some, like the vain Bruce Anderson’s idea of settling down with one of his many admirers, are more metaphorical. With the domineering Irene off pursuing academic challenges, Stuart and Bertie are free to indulge in summer fun. Stuart reconnects with an old acquaintance over refreshing peppermint tea while Bertie takes his friend Ranald Braveheart Macpherson to the circus. But their trip to the big top becomes rather more than the pleasant diversion they were hoping for. Once again, Scotland Street teems with the daily triumphs and challenges of those who call it home, and provides a warm, wise, and witty chronicle of the affairs in this corner of the world.
