Book Description
Like a sculptor chiseling stone into being, Malcolm Randall creates meaning with words; he shapes them, massages them, and relishes in their beauty. I first met Malcolm when I invited him into my language arts classroom and then witnessed his indelible passion once again when he captivated an audience of English teachers. Told through both poetry and prose, The Malchemist: Apprentice is Malcolms first book, a poignant story of Malcolms search for self-acceptance and ultimately, of his discovery of the gold within himself. -Jean Lamar, 2009 Florida Teacher of the Year

Book Description
Nearly twenty thousand years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, when vast glaciers still held much of the world in their grip, the forces of passion and power collide, creating a love triangle between a powerful human king and two of the great spirits of the earth: Nokomis, the Gentle Spirit of the Earth, and Tohopka, the Wild Spirit of the Earth. Jealousy and the lust for power drive a vengeful chase and consuming conflict that span a lifetime and two continents. This is a story that takes love and revenge to the limits of the human heart. The final desperate attempt at justice rains environmental destruction on the planet and fuels a desire for domination that still resides deep in the hearts of much of mankind to this day. This is the story of where humankind’s war on nature begins.

Book Description
The Lure of Faraway Places is the publication canoeist Herb Pohl (1930-2006) did not live to see published. But Pohl's words and images provide a unique portrait of Canada by one who was happiest when travelling our northern waterways alone. Austrian-born Herb Pohl died at the mouth of the Michipcoten River on July 17, 2006. He is remembered as "Canada's most remarkable solo traveller." While mourning their loss, Herb Pohl's friends found, to their surprise and delight, a manuscript of wilderness writings on his desk in his lakeside apartment in Burlington, Ontario. He had hoped one day to publish his work as a book. With help and commentary from best-selling canoe author and editor James Raffan, Natural Heritage is proud to present that book, Herb's book, The Lure of Faraway Places. "There's nothing like it in canoeing literature," says Raffan. "It's part journal, part memoir, part wilderness philosophy and part tips and tricks of the most pragmatic kind written about parts of the country most of us will never see by the most committed and ambitious solo canoeist in Canadian history."
