    Have dog, will travel with Lesley Choyce

    Lesley Choyce is a 70-year-old year-round North Atlantic surfer, the godfather of transcendental wood-splitting, and the award-winning author of over 100 books. His wife, Linda, a former high school principal who has fearlessly commandeered knives from teenage malcontents, usually guides her husband away from quixotic quests, but she is fully on board for this one. As for Kelty, the couple's West Highland terrier, he's always ready to give up on chewing shoes and chasing pheasants for something more exciting. Join the Choyces as they hurtle around the U.K. in search of history (all kinds), good food (mostly Indian), quirky destinations (the smaller and weirder the better), and places for the dog to pee. All while waiting for the imminent arrival of new grandchildren back home in Canada. Ever wondered what a Nova Scotian surfer/wood-splitter/Renaissance man/Westie owner thinks of the U.K.? Now you can find out. Get your copy of Around England with a Dog!

    Focal Point with John E. Marriott

    In the second episode of our Focal Point mini series, we talk to internationally renowned wildlife photographer, John E. Marriot about his book The Kootenay Wolves: Five Years Following a Wild Wolf Pack.  The Kootenay Wolves chronicles Marriott's tenacious efforts hiking, snowshoeing, and hiding silently in camouflage for hundreds of days to document these wary wolves and their tenuous hold in a home range rife with danger, including tourist traffic, transport trucks, trophy hunters, and trappers. Marriott not only watched this family thrive against all odds but also saw and photographed some truly astonishing behaviours rarely documented in the wild before. Join us for an exhilarating look into the daily lives of the Kootenay wolves and some photography tips and tricks from the wildlife photography master himself. Follow John on Instagram: @johnemarriott The Kootenay Wolves is now available online and at your local bookstore!
