In Seven Winters Elizabeth Bowen recalls with endearing candour her family & her Dublin childhood as seen through the eyes of a child who could not read till she was seven & who fed her imagination only on sights & sounds. Bowen`s Court describes the history of one Anglo-Irish family in County Cork from the Cromwellian settlement until 1959, when the author, the last of the Bowens, was forced to sell the house she loved. With the mastery that is the hallmark of her novels Elizabeth reviews ten generations of Bowens as representative of a class

Bowron Lakes Canoe Route at 1:50, 000 in a series of topographic survey maps of selected areas of British Columbia & the Canadian Rockies from ITMB with cartography from Canada’s national survey organization. Most sheets are printed on light, waterproof & tear- resistant plastic paper. Whilst the Canadian Department of Natural Resources (previously Canada Map Office) decides whether to provide updated pre-printed editions of its survey mapping or switch to print-on-demand only, in 2007 it began co-operating with ITMB on this new series of maps with cartography of the Canadian topographic survey & additional tourist & recreational information provided by ITMB. The maps are double-sided, with either two 1:50, 000 maps combined in one title, or a 1:250, 000 map supplemented by more detailed coverage at 1:50, 000. * In this title:* Bowron Lakes are the result of an unusual geological fault, creating a diamond-shaped square in central British Columbia. The map, printed on light wateproof & tear-resistant plastic paper, combines four Canadian survey topographic sheets to chart the course of a canoe route along its 10 lakes. The map shows road access to the lakes & indicates various types of campsites & accommodation, recreational areas for hiking, horse riding, cross-country skiing, etc. Contours are at 100 feet intervals (conversion chart is provided). ...
