Book Description
It was a normal December day for eleven-year-old Yuka, who was out for a ride with her sled dogs. That is, until something red, white, and black fell out of the sky. Much to her surprise, that something turned out to be someone – Santa Claus! Sheepishly, Santa admitted he hadn’t been wearing a seatbelt and fell from his sled when it made a tight turn. The reindeer didn’t even notice. But what is he going to do? It’s the day before Christmas, and Santa is lost and far from home. Without reindeer to get Santa back to the North Pole, Yuka knows there is only one solution. She puts her lead dog Kikitu in charge of getting Santa back in time to save Christmas. But the journey won’t be easy. In order to get to there, Kikitu and the other dogs must first avoid the clutches of Tatuk the polar bear, the dangers of thin ice, and a terrible storm. To succeed will take strength, skill, courage, and of course, a little Christmas magic from their very special passenger. Kikitu Saves Christmas is a magical, exciting Christmas story that also offers the opportunity to learn about Inuit culture, animals of the North, and the secret life of a very special sled dog.

Book Description
Eleven-year-old Yuka and her loyal lead sled dog Kikitu are back! This time, the RCMP need their help with an investigation into eight missing children. With no clues and no leads, the RCMP are hoping Yuka can help solve a two-year-old mystery. Yuka knows the last two children who were kidnapped and has her dogs smell some of their clothing to get their scent. With Yuka and Kikitu in the lead, the RCMP officers set out on their snowmobiles to solve the mystery. However, disaster strikes when the Officers disappear during a blizzard and Yuka is left to continue on her own, then Kikitu is injured. This happened during an encounter with a giant animal, a mysterious Arctic creature believed to be extinct. Then Yuka disappears, stolen just like the other children! Who are these mysterious animals and why do they kidnap children and tickle them? As Yuka struggles to communicate with the beasts, time is running out for the malnourished beings. Set in Nunavut, Canada, Kikitu and the Stolen Children Mystery is the third exciting book in the Yuka and Kikitu series.

Book Description
Can rebirth come from intentional destruction? And when is it better to abandon a damaged world – or time – than to try to fix it? These are the questions that need to be answered for the future people of Earth, whose home world has been devastated and left without water by the unseen force of Dark Energy. In an attempt to revive the now evacuated planet and reintroduce water to it, scientists force a collision between earth and Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. Will the planet be saved or must humanity be forced to seek other alternative habitable planets? From their vantage point above Earth in the last starship, all they can do is wait for the dust to settle. Meanwhile, Earth in the present is experiencing staggering leaps in technology, as Dr. Stella Cooke, a present-day human who time travelled to the future and was enhanced by their technology (a hubrid), works to prepare humanity for its planet’s impending devastation. Working with present-day investment capitalists, scientists, and even Homeland Security contacts, Stella introduces humanoids – a combination of tissue engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, and fusion power – to the world as well as the hyperspace ship VARRO that is capable of time travel. As the fates of those in the present and the future become hopelessly intertwined, Stella and her associates from both time periods must decide where and when home is and what being a human truly means.

Book Description
The aim of this grammar is to analyze in some detail the mechanisms of the Aleut language as represented by older speakers and by earlier sources, and is intended for both students of Aleut and linguists in general. An introductory chapter gives background on the language's history, linguistic documentation, Aleut dialects, and outside influences. Subsequent chapters address these topics: phonology (phonemes, phonotactics, internal and external sandhi, contours, and expressive features); morphology (inflection and word classes, derivation/postbases); and syntax (subject and predicate, object, oblique terms, addition and removal of terms, construction of indefiniteness, noun phrases, temporal adverbials, verb phrases, conjoined predicates, clauses of purpose, linked clauses, anterior, conditional, participle clauses, report clauses, sentence connections). Some crucial structural differences from the cognate Eskimo language are discussed in the final chapter. (Contains 52 references.) (MSE)

Book Description
Green Matters offers a fascinating insight into the regenerative function of literature with regard to environmental concerns. Based on recent developments in ecocriticism, the book demonstrates how the aesthetic dimension of literary texts makes them a vital force in the struggle for sustainable futures. Applying this understanding to individual works from a number of different thematic fields, cultural contexts and literary genres, Green Matters presents novel approaches to the manifold ways in which literature can make a difference. While the first sections of the book highlight the transnational, the focus on Canada in the last section allows a more specific exploration of how themes, genres and literary forms develop their own manifestations within a national context. Through its unifying ecocultural focus and its variegated approaches, the volume is an essential contribution to contemporary environmental humanities.
