Book Review: Let us stipulate that Conrad Black is a polarizing figure. Many Canadians disliked his way of doing business and his seemingly haughty view regarding his own country. Now, let us put that aside and consider on its merits his rather immodest, thousand-plus-pages Rise to Greatness.
Book Review:Dam Builders is wonderfully illustrated with hundreds of photographs, most of which were taken by the author over almost three decades of studying and enjoying wildlife in their natural settings. In his book Runtz covers everything from their evolution and the variety of species, to their impact on our country (both economically and ecologically), to their distinctive physiological characteristics and behaviours.
