This work showcases two forgotten stories from Silas T. Rand, Baptist missionary who wanted to translate bibles into the Mi'Kmaq language and learned how to do so by recording the oral traditions of the Mi'Kmaq people, published in 'Legends of the Micmacs'. Peter Sanger uncovered two manuscripts in the Rand holdings of Acadia University, including the story of Little Thunder (dictated to Rand by Susan Barss in 1847) and a manuscript of stories told by someone we only know as old man Stevens. Rand's original book and these manuscripts are some of the earliest examples of indigenous Canadian literature recorded in the original language.

This book recounts the rich history of Halifax's Public Gardens from their founding by the Nova Scotia Horticultural Society in 1833 to their extensive restoration after being devastated by Hurricane Juan in 2003. Peter Twohig details the gradual addition of elements such as their memorial fountains, distinctive stone bridges, ponds and bandstand. Full-colour visuals drawn from many archival sources reveal the wide range of the Gardens' natural and architectural splendour. Robert Pace and Robert Salah describe the restoration work undertaken after storm damage, which has made the Public Gardens an even more appealing destination for Haligonians and visitors to the city. Includes bibliographical references.
