Product DescriptionFormat: Trade PaperbackPublished: April 1, 2003 Science, medicine, sports, inspiring feats or remarkable structures, Canadians do it like no one else! We've made scientific discoveries like the oil-spill-gobbling Slicklicker and the space-bracing Canadarm; cool creations like Superman and Trivial Pursuit; and breakthrough technologies like IMAX and Java. Diverse heroes like Dr. Norman Bethune, Terry Fox and Marilyn Bell are also celebrated in this book. Add a dash of our habit of making huge things from buildings to statues of food and sprinkle liberally with cartoons and photos, and you have a recipe for the perfect book to amuse and inspire and learn from. Here's the inside scoop on 101 amazing achievements! Imagine the world without • inventions like the Canadarm and the telephone • medical breakthroughs like insulin and the pacemaker • amazing achievements like Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope and Marilyn Bell's swim across Lake Ontario • sports like hockey and ice-pin bowling • astounding structures like the CN Tower and Confederation Bridge • day-to-day necessities like the zipper and the green garbage bag • weird larger-than-life creations like the world's biggest nickel and the world's longest sausage But we do have them ... because Canadians made them!
