Millions of Canadians crave a good mental challenge, and in order to feed their hunger many turn to the daily crossword puzzle in their local newspaper. Often, however, before they even get to 1-Across, they must stop thinking "in Canadian" and shift cultural gears. It is a sad reality that Canada just doesn't figure highly in what is undoubtedly one of our favourite pastimes: solving the daily crossword.

The crosswords in this book contain plenty of references to this country: its heroes and rogues, its geography, sports, history, arts, - its "Canadian-ness." Here the solver might discover a Knowlton, a Gzowski, an Iqaluit, or maybe even a Come By Chance. Our Canadian spelling is recognised as well, in words such as "colour" and "centre", and there is also a sprinkling of French, in keeping with the bilingual nature of this land.

These puzzles appeal to a broad range of solvers, from the dabbler at testing the waters to the seasoned crossword pro looking for a serious cranial workout. Many puzzles are themed and titled. Other, perhaps more challenging puzzles are themeless. While the puzzles vary in difficulty and style, they share one critical thing. They'll make you Think Canadian!

It is a pleasure to introduce Book #2 in Kim Rossell's series of Crossword Puzzles for Massage Therapists. In her first book, Kim focused on the sometimes grueling but necessary memory work that all body workers must master. Now, with that grounding under your belt, her second book invites you to investigate more deeply the practical applications of Massage Therapy, and several specialized modalities, including LaStone, Reflexology, Shiatsu, as well as some review of Anatomy and Physiology. These fifty new puzzles, with the thirty words per puzzles, will put you on top of your game. Fun and challenging at once, you'll forget you are studying! Many Mt's are employed within the hotel, spa, and resort industries, where cleints' main concerns often more general (such as the stress related stiff neck and shoulders) than specific. Kim's puzzles can be used to refresh your memory so that all those hours of hard-won learning - even the specifics - remain accessible to you. So whether you are a beginning student or a practiced veteran, this book is for you, to help you stay fresh, keep your energy up, and remain able to offer the very best of you to your clients. Convenient, practical, and fun, these puzzles will engage you and deepen your understanding - at the study desk, at the office between clients, or even in the hammock or athrub. Enjoy!

The content provides hours of gentle and light-hearted entertainment for you and/or friends to enjoy at home, while convalescent, traveling, or on vacation.
