FIRE AND ASHES
IGNATIEFF, MICHAEL
Renowned author and former Liberal Party of Canada leader Michael Ignatieff delivers a stirring
meditation on contemporary politics and the lessons he learned in defeat. Candid and utterly unexpected,
this book is not just for Canadians concerned about the future of the Liberal Party, but for all citizens
concerned about the future of Canada and of political discourse in today's increasingly partisan world. In
2011, the "Natural Governing Party of Canada" suffered its greatest defeat when Stephen Harper's
Conservatives won a majority and Jack Layton's NDP superseded the Liberals to form the Official
Opposition. It has spawned a time of soul-searching for the Liberal Party and its former leader, Michael
Ignatieff--but while the party continues to look for answers, Ignatieff has found his in Fire and Ashes: the
reasons why he went into politics in the first place. In what he says is the most difficult book he's ever
written, Ignatieff (the son of a Canadian diplomat whose reputation was made long before he risked it all
in politics) explores what it is to be a citizen and why, even in today's adversarial climate, the aspirations
of the political life can still outweigh the costs.

FIRE ON ICE: WHY SASKATCHEWAN RULES THE NHL
DAVIS, DARRELL
From current stars Jordan Eberle, Ryan Getzlaf, Jarret Stoll, and Brooks Laich to Hall of Famers and
legends like Gordie Howe, Bryan Trottier, Elmer Lach, and Glenn Hall, this collection tells the personal
histories of the greatest Saskatchewan hockey players. Saskatchewan produces more NHL hockey
players per capita than any other place in the world, and Fire on Ice is the story of kids literally growing up
skating on frozen sloughs, backyard rinks, and in small-town arenas. They turn the hard-working ethic of
their backgrounds into the characteristics that make for great NHL players. Including 40 black-and-white
photos, this historical look at hockey in Saskatchewan explains the reason why the province produces so
much talent.
