The Olive Route (Non-fiction)
 Books
by Carol Drinkwater
Like the Silk Road and the Spice Route, the Olive Route – stretching
2,200 miles from Gibraltar to northern Syria – encompasses not
just a journey, but an epic adventure involving the age-old
transportation of a precious commodity. Carol Drinkwater travelled
along this beautiful and sometimes dangerous route, uncovering
ancient stories, meeting striking and courageous people and
tracing its venerable olive culture.
Tracking the Cretans, Phoenicians, Greeks and the Romans, amongst
others, she eventually finds her way back to her olive farm
in the sun-baked hills of southern France. The Olive Route recounts
a thrilling, heroic, sensual and entertaining journey by the
bestselling author of the much loved Olive series.
Red River (Fiction)
Books
by Lalita Tademy
Lalita Tademy weaves together history and the story of her own
family to bring us an epic work of fiction, the dramatic, intertwining
story of two families struggling to make a place for themselves
in an America deeply divided after the Civil War.
For the newly freed black residents of Colfax, Louisiana, the
beginning of Reconstruction promised them the right to vote,
own property, and at last, control their own lives. But in the
space of a day, angry whites would take back Colfax in one of
the deadliest incidents of racial violence in Southern history,
In the bitter aftermath, the Tademys and the Smiths will have
to deal with the wreckage, push on, and build a better life
for their sons and daughters over the next seventy years.

enters the mystery scene, a man with a hidden past, a Levantine
working for a hated Western regime, a man caught between two
worlds who can trust no one and call no one friend.

A
SIMPLE CURVE
 A
belated rite of passage finds tensions rising between an idealistic
father and his increasingly independent son in this family drama
that proves it's never too late for a little teenage rebellion.
Twenty-seven-year-old Caleb (Kris Lemche) and his father, Jim
(Michael Hogan), have always seemed more like old friends than
father and son.
An easy-going father who dodged the American draft to forge
his own future by founding a carpentry shop in British Columbia's
Kootenays, Jim and Caleb spend the days crafting a variety of
fine products, but lately the bills have been stacking up and
tensions between father and son rising. Now faced with the very
real possibility of their business failing as a result of direct
competition with mass produced particle board products and Jim's
misguided perfectionism, the family business teeters on the
verge of bankruptcy until the arrival of Jim's old friend Matthew
(Matt Craven) instills Caleb with a much needed dose of pragmatism.
Though Jim has long voiced disapproval of Caleb's proposal to
open a luxury fishing lodge that may bring in more money and
keep the family business afloat, Caleb decides to take his fate
into his own hands and finally strike out on his own. ~ Jason

WHO
KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR
 In
1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California.
They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without
gasoline. Ten years later, these cars were destroyed. It was
among the fastest, most efficient production car ever built.
It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted
American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry.
The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why
did General Motors crush its fleet of EV-1 electric vehicles
in the Arizona desert? Who killed the electric car? chronicles
the life and mysterious death of the EV-1; examining the cultural
and economic ripple effects caused by its conception and how
they reverberated through the halls of government and big business.
A documentary that investigates the birth and death of the electric
car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable
living in the future. Buy the DVD > WHO
