Описание: From the back cover of On the Origin of Hockey:

The debate about the origin of hockey appears to be as old as the debate about the origin of species, though if we compare the number of pages dedicated in every day's newspapers to hockey and those dedicated to animals and plants, the relative importance of each quickly becomes obvious (well, to hockey fans at least).

Hockey historians have been looking for the smallest piece of evidence that would reveal the secrets of the origin of hockey. However a wealth of evidence is available - as soon as one starts looking in the right place. This book does not present a new theory based on slivers of evidence. It is a presentation of known facts about the origins of hockey, based on tens of thousands of words, from hundreds of sources, written about hockey played on the ice, with skates, before Montreal's first recorded game.

Carl Gid n is a medical doctor who has been researching the origins of hockey for more than two decades. He made news in 2008, together with Patrick Houda, when they announced their discovery of a reference to ice hockey played in 1839 on Chippawa Creek (Niagara Falls, Ontario).

Sports journalist Patrick Houda has also been researching the origins of hockey for over two decades and teamed up with Gid n on several projects since the mid-1990s. It was the two of them who, from Sweden, wrote biographies for the main Canadian pioneers of hockey, including the eighteen players who participated in the first recorded game played in Montreal, in 1875.

As a member (past president) of the Society for International Hockey Research, Montreal-region-based Jean-Patrice Martel was most impressed by the findings of Gid n and Houda, and always pleaded that they should publish them. The trio finally teamed up to produce this book, with the hopes of reinvigorating the debate on hockey's origins and setting it on sound foundations.

Описание: When Ambrose Tree is summoned by his ancient uncle to the brooding mansion Drogo Hall, he suspects it's to hear the old man's dying words and then collect a sizable inheritance. He has no idea he is about to learn the bizarre story of Harry Peake, Cornish smuggler turned poet who became a monster capable of the most horrifying acts. Or that he's about to become psychologically enmeshed in the riveting life of Harry's daughter, Martha, who flees her father for colonial America where she becomes a heroic figure in the revolution against England. Or that he himself has a crucial role to play in this mesmerizing tale as it rushes headlong and hauntingly toward its powerful climax. Martha Peake is a spellbinding alloy of Gothic mystery and historical romance.

Описание: Christian Joyce returns to Montreal a veteran of the Cuban Revolution. He survived but left warm, passionate Esameralda in a convent and has lost Ren e again to her New York lover, Ramon, the Castro impersonator. Surviving Well: Montreal 1960 is Book Two of the Christian James Joyce Series. Christian is home after a long journey from the Gulf Coast where he searched the bayous in vain for his dangerous friend Maartyn. It is hot, dirty and densely humid in Montreal and he is broke and alone; his estranged family dispersed. A common vagrant, adrift in the cosmopolitan city he once understood, where the atmosphere and the politics have changed. He survived the bloody Cuban Revolution with a new understanding of violence but in Qu bec there is more unrest as impatient young Qu be ois meet in dark, smoke-filled rooms watching a world in turmoil, aching to become part of the new order forming on college campuses and street corners. Heated rhetoric fuels resentment against their English and Scotish overlords. They want action and leadership. A hero to the young radicals, Christian is lured into the vortex of the fledgling FLQ as the Political Provo and is once again confronted by a cadre of odd and dangerous characters who are seldom what they pretend to be. Christian has become less na ve and more angular since Cuba but the long journey home by train, aged by experience and life lived hard on the margins, have taken their measure. The Quiet Revolution that would ease Qu bec away from it's rural Catholic heritage is taking place in board rooms of the business elite but on the mean streets there is an undercurrent of anarchy and Christian is about to come face to face with the social upheaval of the 1960's and the fragmented movements that lead inevitably to chaos. He experienced enough chaos and bloodshed in Cuba and now he wants only to be near the cooling waters of the St. Lawrence River, find some peace, rediscover his music and continue his recovery from drugs while he waits for Ren e to satisfy her Bohemian cravings. But he is about to meet Breeze, the beautiful cello player with the Outport heritage, who will change his life. In the meantime there is a body lying close to the edge of the broken concrete bulkhead, in danger of rolling into the boiling river. A slight young man, dark and handsome, and dead too young; like Rosa and the young rebels. He remembers all the bodies, the friends and enemies, the young and the old. What does this one mean to his future? He should just walk away...

Описание: Christian James Joyce had only one mission in life; to be free of himself and get clean. Christian is a young musician, scarred by drugs, awash in self doubt, fleeing from the temptations of the jazz scene in the '50s. Alone, on the road, leaving Montreal and his family behind, he escaped first to Chicago, then south to the Islands. Befriended by an ex-marine who was also on the run, but not from himself, Maartyn St. Jacques, son of a Delta whore, had the swagger and cockiness that was guaranteed to get them into trouble. But not before they landed on Andros Island, where Christian met Ren e, a sophisticated Bohemian from Paris, who taught Christian about free love in the sand with a dose of Jean Paul Sartre and Allen Ginsberg. The mob grew and the parties increased until Christian was again swimming against the tide of self abuse. Christian escaped again to Cuba where he settled in a shabby but quiet fishing village on the west coast, far from the rumblings of the Cuban Revolution. Or so he thought. It was a dangerous time to be in Cuba. A young revolutionary named Fidel Castro, had inflamed the people to rise up against the tyranny of Fulgencio Batista and his cronies. A young Canadian in a black barrette could be mistaken for a mercenary infiltrating Cuba to join the revolution. For a brief time Christian was content to hide out in his rented villa above the pristine beach, play music, fish for his food and learn to live clean with the help of his oddly attentive houseboy, Miguel. There was something odd about everyone he met in the village that seemed asleep in the Cuban sun. Then the mob began to find him. Maartyn arrived without warning and then Ren e. Christian thought that his erstwhile friends and poverty were the biggest problems he would have to deal with that Christmas Season in 1958 while the Revolution remained distant thunder in the Sierra Maestre far to the east. But he hadn't yet been seduced by Juanita or threatened by Don Escobar.
