Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - VM395 B5 K33 2018

This book documents the beautiful Tall Ship Bluenose, now a sailing ambassador for the province of Nova Scotia, and tells the dramatic story of the battles and triumphs of original Bluenose. The original Bluenose, built in Lunenburg and launched in 1921, was designed to combine a career as a racing ship with the working role fishing the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. Its captain, Angus Walters, took Bluenose to five international sailing races, and was undefeated for seventeen years. By the 1930s, the vessel's achievements made it an icon for Nova Scotia and an important Canadian symbol. The newly-restored replica, the Bluenose II, represents the wooden shipbuilding achievements and the dory-based cod fishery traditions of Nova Scotia. This book offers an interpretive guide of the ship and its complex traditional equipment. It also tells the story of the original Bluenose, with many historic photographs of the ship and its crew aboard the most famous Tall Ship in Canada in this souvenir of a vessel whose history and allure continues to captivate to this day. Includes index.

Adventures in bubbles and brine : what I learned from Nova Scotia's masters of fermented foods - craft beer, cider, cheese, sauerkraut and more / by Philip Moscovitch.  Halifax : Formac Publishing Company Limited, 2019. 208 pages : color photographs ; 23 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - TX827.5 M67 2019

There is something seemingly magical about fermentation - microscopic organisms acting on fruits, vegetables and grains and completely transforming their properties. Fermentation produces wonderful flavours, connects us to local producers, is good for our health and is a direct link with local cultures - both the culture steeped in history and tradition, and the microscopic live cultures embedded in our fermented foods. Philip Moscovitch travelled Nova Scotia to discover today's practitioners of the art of food fermentation. He found traditional sauerkraut makers still at work on Tancook Island and cider makers working with old techniques and 100-year-old apple varieties. But he also found dozens of newly-established breweries and wineries, sausage makers bringing French traditions to the province, and cheese makers creating innovative and unique local cheeses. He offers sample recipes featuring local ingredients to allow for experimenting in the kitchen with products that are not all that complicated to make, and which lend themselves to endless variations. This book introduces the new wave of fermenters in Nova Scotia who are creating delicious products using local ingredients, and encourages readers to try fermentation for themselves. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Nova Scotia and the great influenza pandemic, 1918-1920 : a remembrance of the dead and an archive for the living / compiled and edited by Ruth Holmes Whitehead.  Halifax, NS : Nimbus Publishing Limited, 2020. xvi, 399 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.

The definitive academic resource on the Great Influenza by celebrated historian behind Black Loyalists, in time for the pandemic's centenary. It could kill in as little as ten hours. Extremely high fever, bleeding from eyes, nose, and ears, terrible pain, especially in the head and the joints, delirium--and then its victims literally drowned in their own fluids. Fifty to 100 million people worldwide died in this global pandemic in the early twentieth century. The Great Influenza first entered Nova Scotia through ports. (Sydney, Cape Breton, received five hundred sick American troops in a single day.) For three years, the province coped with this vicious epidemic as it spread like wildfire. Local economies ceased functioning; fishing fleets, banks, and apple-canning factories reported all staff were suffering from the flu. The heart of this book, however, is its human element. Oral histories, family memoirs, newspaper articles, and provincial death records tell, county by county, stories of those who died. Accompanied by 20 photographs, Nova Scotia and the Great Influenza Pandemic, 1918-1920 chronicles both provincial and personal efforts to cope during this most perilous time. Includes bibliographical references.

Debt and bad management drove Abraham Gesner off his farm in Nova Scotia's bucolic Annapolis Valley in 1825. It turned out to be a stroke of luck. While doing medical courses in London hospitals, he encountered the industrial revolution. Attending sundry lectures and demonstrations, he got his first whiff of the rapidly developing new sciences of chemistry, geology and natural history. He was hooked! Back home, traveling about the country visiting patients, he honed his observational skills, finally producing pioneering geological surveys of all three Maritime provinces. Imitating procedures which he had first observed while abroad, he experimented with "cracking" coal to generate the tars, oils and gases which fueled the industrial revolution. In the process, he produced "kerosene" - an illuminating gas and an oil - which revolutionized artificial lighting and generated much industry. Because he explored with native guides and advocated on their behalf, he served for a time as Indian Commissioner. An engaging lecturer, he addressed audiences on many scientific subjects and developed the region's first natural history museum; he wrote articles and books describing the region and extolling its potential for development. His final publication was a textbook of hydrocarbon chemistry. Local lawsuits over mining rights and patent infringements caused him to move to New York. Still more lawsuits drove him back to his native land where he died, shortly after being appointed to a coveted lectureship in Dalhousie University. Includes bibliographic references and index.
