After travelling through the Canadian prairies in the 1850s, British adventurer John Palliser deemed a large portion of the region to be a near desert and unfit for agriculture. That reportedly disadvantaged area became known as Palliser's Triangle.
In "Defying Palliser" farmers and ranchers from southwest Saskatchewan and southest Alberta--residents in the Palliser Triangle--tell how they have challenged Palliser's prediction. Incorporating the latest research on adaptive capacity and climate change, these stories of self-reliance, inventiveness and community solidarity reveal a remarkably resilient people who have adapted and survived in the driest, most drought-prone climate on the Canadian Prairies.

These stories have been brought to you rocketing out of the past and into the future. It has been said that people are not ready for this, that these legends winging in from bygone times have arrived seriously ahead of schedule. In fairy-tales witches always wear those absurd black pointed hats, black cloaks, and ride on broomsticks, to a moon made up of green cheese. This is not a fairy tale; this book is about those extravagant, entrancing, and real witches of East Lulworth. Along with those extraordinary, enchanting druids from the realm of the Eggardon Hundreds; the most formidable and heavenly inspired celestial pilots of the light ages. Who with their discernment realized in a flash that the Lulworth Triangle is far more mysterious than the Bermuda Triangle ever has been or is ever likely to be. It's a complete and utter myth by comparison. ALTERNATIVE REVIEWS "I come from Siberia, it is a very cold there, I like this book, it is hot "-Olya Smith, Firebird Studio, Wumpland

A crow is an old term referring to a security guard. In the 1930s there were a lot of incidents involving citizens acting as security guards, and many were passing themselves off as policemen. To clear up the confusion, the city fathers in Capitol City enacted a city wide uniform dress code. So that security guards would not be mistaken for the real police dressed in blue, they were mandated to wear all black uniforms. Because they dressed in black, the security guards became known as crows, and are still known as crows even though the dress code was rescinded long ago. Now an evil entity is targeting the security guards. The shorthanded homicide squad has enlisted the help of veteran street cops Griffith (Zoo) Park and Kevin (Jinx) Jenks. Together they work to solve The Murder of Crows
