New Books

Couple of new ones in.  The first is "Today in History"  by  Bob Johnstone.   
According to Canadahistory.ca Johnston began producing the daily three-minute segments for radio in the early 1980s on an occasional basis, but they proved so popular with listeners that by the mid-1980s they were instituted as a regular feature on CBC. Each segment examines a historic event for the calendar day, marrying quirky, humorous, infamous, or little-known events from history to Johnstone’s casual, engaging storytelling manner. Heard by hundreds of thousands of Canadians daily, the vignettes in Today In History have also been collected in a book of the same title.

The second is a Human Kinetics book award that has been donated to the school in Rachel Andrews name. The book is called "Last Child in the Woods".
