Rollinson, David

Nova Scotia's Industrial Heritage : A Guidebook / David Rollinson.  Halifax : Nimbus Publishing, 2017. v, 138 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - FC2307 R65 2017 - Open Shelf

This guidebook explores 70 of Nova Scotia's historic industrial sites. If you drive across Nova Scotia, you will see abandoned rail lines and sleepy towns that once hummed with mills and mines. If you look closely enough, you will see the remnants of the province's industrial revolution, which began in the 1850s and faded away a century later. Author and historian David Rollinson identifies and explores many of the historic sites and cultural artifacts that record this era. Included are over 70 sites of interest from across the province, from the shipbuilding display at the Bear River Heritage Museum to the Digby Rail Trails on the old rail bed out of Digby, which overlooks the Annapolis Basin. Organized by industry - power, natural resources, agriculture, crafts, and transportation - and by county, and featuring 60 fascinating images, Nova Scotia's Industrial Heritage will appeal to tourists travelling by car as well as locals interested in industry, their roots, and social change. David Rollinson's interest in industrial heritage and the history of technology was sparked by a visit to a vintage machinery display as a youngster. After years of historic preservation work in the Caribbean, David moved to Nova Scotia. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Thibault, Simon

Pantry and Palate : remembering and rediscovering Acadian food / text by Simon Thibault ; foreword by Naomi Duguid ; and photos by Noah Fecks.  Halifax : Nimbus Publishing, 2017. xxi, 248 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - TX715.6 T533 2017

What is Acadian food? It is humble, homey, and comforting. It is made with love and devotion from a larder that is small but mighty, and holds history within itself. And it is made to be eaten. Journalist Simon Thibault explores his Acadian roots by scouring old family recipes, ladies' auxiliary cookbooks, and folk wisdom for 50 of the best-loved recipes of Acadians past and present. Recipes run the gamut, from the art of pickling beets to old-fashioned foodways such as rendering lard and cooking with head cheese, to Acadian staples like Classic French Canadian Tourtière and Seafood Chowder, and a delicious roster of desserts from Rhubarb Custard Pie to Acadian Panna Cotta. Including essays celebrating the stories behind the recipes, a foreword by bestselling author Naomi Duguid (Taste of Persia), and photos by food photographer Noah Fecks, Pantry and Palate is magnifique from page to plate. Includes bibliographical references and index.
