1989281 pages. Future historians may well agree that Martin Exeter led one of the great lives of the twentieth century. He shaped circumstance through the transcendance of the ordinary human condition. At the age of 21 he left the life of the British aristocracy and moved to the Cariboo region of British Columbia where he honed the strength of character that would eventually make him a source of inspiration to thousands of people worldwide. He founded the town of 100 Mile House B.C. and went on to lead a body of people known as the Emissaries to what could be called today an unprecedented force for the spiritual restoration of the planet.

Celebrity Lights - A Collection of Favourite Recipes from Celebrity Women in Support of Breast Cancer Research

1996191 pages. More than a cookbook, this is a unique story, created and shaped by the very personal moments and memories of the 96 celebrities who have generously contributed to this book. Although they lead extremely public lives, all of them took time to respond to the invitation to help celebrate the importance of caring and sharing. These remarkable women are the "lights" behind Celebrity Lights - a book designed not as a collection of light recipes but as an innovative way to create a beacon of light in the battle against breast cancer. Contributors include Hillary Clinton, Aline Chretien, Adrienne Clarkson, Diana Krall, Anne Murray and many more. A very attractive volume in glossy pastel boards. Illustrated dust jacket is similarly attractive. Approximately 8" high by 7" wide. A perfect gift. Book

Proceedings of People's Enquiry Into CFMETR at Nanoose Bay, B.C.

1986209 pages including black and white photos of selected participants. The concept of the People's Enquiry was to gather information on the implications of CFMETR by inviting a number of experts in various fields to give papers on selected topics. The idea of having an open meeting was to provide the public with the answers which were denied them when the government turned down requests to hold a public meeting. Major-General Leonard Johnson (retired), one of the three distinguished panelists, said of the Enquiry, it was "an attempt to obtain facts, to inform the public, and to influence the activities that bear on the security of the people of Canada... Defence agreements can lead with changes in strategy and technology to unforseen and unintended consequences inimical to the security of Canadians. Because they are made and implemented in secret, beyond public security, such agreements are not subject to democratic control by an informed electorate, as all agreements affecting the lives of people should be. This is especially serious where nuclear weapons are involved." Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding sound. Nice copy. Book
