Product Description:
A fascinating history, a vibrant contemporary culture, the friendliest people, and an untamed wild. Newfoundland & Labrador is an incredible vacation destination, boasting two UNESCO World Heritage Sites; the only authentic Viking settlement in North America; the rugged beauty of the Atlantic coastline; and the historic city of St. John's, offering shopping, amazing seafood, and lively nightlife. Along Newfoundland & Labrador's 10,000-mile coastline, humpback whales migrate northwards while 10,000-year-old icebergs drift south. Newfoundland is also home to some of the world's most accessible seabird colonies, with more than 35 million gathering each year. Outdoor adventurers can walk or hike the beautiful East Coast Trail, stopping at Cape Spear, the easternmost point in North America. And for culture mavens, music and art festivals abound. Frommer's Newfoundland & Labrador covers each of the province's regions in detail, offering more information than any other major guide. It provides readers with all they need to plan an unforgettable vacation, from the best place to eat Jigg's Dinner (and information on exactly what that is) and catch some lively traditional music, to the best whale- and puffin-watching tours and perfect camping sites. |

Discover Canada. Includes FREE planning and background information. Newfoundland has it going on. Rocks can be cool, especially if they-re ancient and hikeable, like the ones in Gros Morne National Park. And being a remote island has its advantages: it means you-re surrounded by drifting blue icebergs from April through early July, and spouting whales in August. Pile on seasonal activities - skiing at Marble Mountain (no queues!) in winter, kayaking at Witless Bay (alongside whales!) in summer - and you-ll see why we-re talking hot spot. But the thing that truly sets Newfoundland apart is its personality. You-ve heard of offbeat? This region is so offbeat it even has its own time zone (a half-hour ahead of the Maritimes). Cod tongues, moose burgers and partridgeberry pies are some of the unusual foods that warm local plates. And the accent? Well, suffice it to say Newfoundland has its own dictionary for all its quirky words and pronunciations.

The story of Newfoundland and Labrador is told in the region's place names, from Deadman's Cove to Paradise, from Famine Gut to Heart's Delight, and in the family histories of those rugged settlers who chose these names for their communities. It is a land of contradictions. This diversity is also reflected in the region's architecture, with strong cultural links to Ireland and West County England. This fascinating book will delight both "true Newfoundlanders" and those of us from "away." |

In the late 1940s Elmer Harp, a young Ph.D candidate at Harvard, began the first of five summers of exploration along the coast of the Strait of Belle Isle. Interested in studying early human activity in the area, he came to be equally fascinated with life in outport communities. During the summers of 1949-50 and 1961-63, he explored the coast, travelling from one isolated outport village to the next, initially by open boat and later on rudimentary roads, vividly capturing everyday life in his journals and through his extensive Kodachrome slides. In her introduction, Priscilla Renouf places Harp's story of rural northen Newfoundland in historical and anthropological context. She notes that there are economic and cultural continuities from prehistoric times to the present and shows that the fundamental structure of outport life based on fishing and hunting remains stable to this very day. |

If someone should ask you "Where you "longs to?," he's probably from Newfoundland and Labrador, and he wants to know where you are from. This exotic and wonderfully unusual province joined the rest of Canada in 1949. "P is for Puffin" takes children on an alphabetical tour of this fascinating land, where they can see 60-foot icebergs and 22 varieties of whales, make music on an accordion or an "ugly stick," taste such delicacies as seal flipper pie and moose stew and hear of a history that's rich with Viking explorers, shipwrecks and pirates' treasures. |
