Carol Ann Cole offers her incredible journey of the path she has walked from ages sixteen to sixty. She writes of the clarity that comes with age and, in her case, a recurrence of breast cancer sixteen years after her initial diagnosis. In 1992 Carol Ann and her mother both battled cancer at the same time. In 2008, Carol Ann continued to learn from her mother as she faced this killer disease without her mother by her side. In intimate and sometimes heartbreaking detail, Carol Ann provides insight into a woman''s emotions and fears following a routine mammogram and ultimately a clean bill of health. Not taking herself too seriously, she shares the lighter side of her breast cancer recurrence and finds a way to lift your heart as you read her story. You will never view a mammography machine or an operating room the same way again. The author speaks of her Comfort Heart Initiative fundraiser that is alive and well many years after being launched in 1998. There are now over 228,000 Comfort Hearts in the hands of people in Canada and around the world, and some of their stories are collected here. Carol Ann also includes stories from others who have opened their hearts to share their challenges of retirement, cancer and mental illness. The author writes of her own battle with depression and how she reached out for help. If I Knew Then What I Know Now includes Carol Ann''s passion for family, honesty, helping others, the bond of friendship, battling and beating cancer one more time and much more. If you are looking for that special book that will give you hope and courage, this is the book for you.

This double biography depicts the lives of the famed Nova Scotia giantess Anna Swan (1846-88) and the celebrated Cape Breton giant Angus McAskill (1825-63). These two splendid and singular celebrities toured the world entertaining royalty and impressing audiences from town halls to palaces. Angus and Anna''s Scottish influences were deeply embedded from childhood and although it was unlikely the two ever met, the similarities in their lives were uncanny. During their adventures, both giants worked with and met many unusual characters. Both met Queen Victoria. Anna married an American giant and the two toured as "The Tallest Married Couple in the World." The book explores the causes of gigantism and how this rare condition shaped the lives and personalities of these two Nova Scotians. Anna and Angus were born to normal-sized, hard-working parents and grew up in rural surroundings but rose to great stardom on the world stage. Both were regarded for their kind hearts and compassion for others. They have left a meaningful message for readers that resonates more than a century after their deaths. Both are honoured at museums in Nova Scotia that house their artifacts. Thousands of people flock to these sites to learn about these great giants.

The global climate is changing. The world is getting warmer. The Arctic ice is melting faster than it has in five thousand years, the oceans are warmer than they have been in one hundred thousand, there are more and bigger storms all around the world and ocean levels are rising. And everyone wants to know what this means. What would you do if the Maritimes were plunged into a mini ice age? What if the winter was eight months long and the summer was just a shadow of what we get now? What if the Gulf Stream shuts down and we were plunged into a twenty year winter? Can this really happen? These are a few of the possibilities that face us in the future. Atlantic Canada has the dubious distinction of being "the global canary" of climate change. By a strange confluence of geography and meteorology, not only will we feel the effects of climate change first and most dramatically here, but also paradoxically, we will experience a host of seemingly contradictory climate and weather effects. Global warming could actually lead to a cooling of the Maritimes, even a mini ice age spanning the North Atlantic, before the warming takes hold. When is this all going to happen and how likely is it? Why do we think that this may actually happen? Who is doing the studies and research? How accurate are the models that make the predictions? Has it happened before? There are so many questions that have to be answered. And not all of them have clearcut answers. Almost certainly the oceans will rise. If so, how much and how fast? And it is quite possible that storms could get worse and more frequent. Can we expect more Hurricane Juans and White Juans? The Maritime Book of Climate Change pulls together the facts and research and then poses the questions that will help with the answers. Richard Zurawski takes a hard look at our regional weather and then projects into the future to see what the Maritimes will look like in the coming years as the world''s climate changes. And he discusses what should be doing now. There are things that we should be doing to mitigate the changes and to prepare for the future. How we respond and how soon we respond to the coming changes will determine how easy or how difficult the transitions will be.
