Nations of the Eastern Great Lakes Life of the Powhatan Life of the California Coast Nations (Native Nations of North America)
Life of the California Coast Nations. (Native Nations of North America). Farming helped many nations thrive. Women planted the seeds and looked after the fields. They grew three main crops-corn, beans, and squash-which they called the \"three sisters.\" Women tended the crops during the growing season using tools made from wood, stone, and animal bones. Women were also responsible for collecting the harvests. (From Nations of the Eastern Great Lakes.) Nations of the Eastern Great Lakes introduces, in great detail, the tribes of the Great Lakes region that eventually joined to form the Wendat and Haudenosaunee Confederacies. The material discusses daily life, government and contact with Europeans. This contact greatly changed the lives of these native people, an important topic discussed within the book's pages. Because the information in this book is pertinent to both Canada and the United States, both countries are mentioned, along with minor differences in terminology.

The Ocean Biome Polar Oceans Spectacular Sharks The Amazing Octopus (The Living Ocean)
[Bobbie Kalman] and Molly Aloian. St. Catharines, ON: Crabtree, 2003. 32 pp., pbk. & cl., $8.06 (pbk), $20.76(RLB). ISBN 0-7787-1319-9 (pbk.), ISBN 0-7787- 1297-4 (RLB). Bobbie Kalman and Rebecca Sjonger. Illustrations by Margaret Amy Reiach. St. Catharines, ON: Crabtree, 2003. 32 pp., pbk. & cl., $8.06 (pbk), $20.76(RLB). ISBN 0-7787-1321-0 (pbk.), ISBN 0-7787- 1299-0 (RLB). Polar Oceans narrows the focus to the Arctic and Southern Oceans located at the Earth's poles. Distinctive characteristics of these oceans include sea ice, ice shelves, ice bergs and polynyas, or patches of open water. The book examines living things found near the surface (krill) and on the dark bottom of polar oceans. Various species of fish, animals and birds that exist on and under the ice are introduced briefly, as are the species such as whales that spend part of their life in polar oceans. One excellent feature in this book is the double-page spreads of the food web drawn as cutaways of the both oceans, a graphic way of highlighting the differences between these two environments. For example, the apex predators (top of the food chain) in the Arctic Ocean include polar bears hunting out of the water, whereas Southern Ocean apex predators (orcas and leopard seals) are a threat only under water. The young reader will clearly see that penguins only inhabit Southern Oceans. Problems facing polar oceans are given double space in this book: global warming may be responsible for increased ice melt, and pollution from around the world impacts on polar environments as well. As in the previous book, the final page is devoted to future trends in protecting these oceans, with websites to check for further information.
