Between the Fourth Meridian and the Continental Divide is a vast land with some of the most varied landscapes, difficult terrain, and treacherous climates in Canada. The challenge of exploring, surveying and mapping the territory now known as Alberta holds some of the most fascinating stories in the 100-year-old province's history. From the first excursions of David Thompson and John Palliser to the ongoing work of surveying for industry and development, from the first hand-drawn maps and sextants to modern satellite imaging and computer modelling, historian Judy Larmour captures the grand arcs and the fascinating details of the dramatic centuries-long struggle to find and mark place.

A collection of interviews with diverse stakeholders, Laying it on the Line: Opinions on the Border gives voice to a wide range of views on the line across Ireland that everyone forgot. Established a century ago, it has re-emerged as central to relations, turning into not just the border between the Republic of Ireland and the UK, but between the EU and the UK. In this book we hear from those living in border communities, where social and economic life has flourished since the Good Friday Agreement. With Brexit, their lives and livelihoods risk serious damage. Interviewees include former Taoiseach John Bruton, historian Diarmuid Ferriter, MEP Martina Anderson, Derry footballer and barrister Joe Brolly, former RUC officers and British soldiers, and a wide range of other politicians, journalists, experts and people affected in Northern Ireland. Economically and politically, we are entering uncharted waters where dangerous winds blow.

In Laying It on the Line: Notes of a Team Player, Howard Griffith shares his motivational story of how sheer determination made him a National Football League star and Super Bowl champion. From his days as a troubled youngster in his dangerous southside Chicago neighborhood to his years as John Elway's and Terrell Davis' teammate with the two-time world-champion Denver Broncos, Griffith tells the reader how "beating the odds" became much more than a cliche to him. "If you learn to expect the barriers and anticipate the bumps and bruises along the way, " says Griffith, "you pad and protect yourself, and prepare the way towards personal success. Becoming a team player is absolutely crucial to your ultimate success." Laying It on the Line will help the readers reach their goals, too.
