{"product_id":"ottawa-made","title":"Ottawa Made","description":"What do instant mashed potatoes, walkie talkies and the electric oven have in common? \r\n\r\nIf you answered Ottawa Made – you’re right. \r\n\r\nWhat else was invented in Ottawa? If you said electronic synthesizer, birchbark canoe and the McIntosh apple – right again. \r\n\r\nThe list of things invented in the national capital region is long and impressive, as authors San Laprade and Caroline Phillips soon learned while researching Ottawa Made, a book that lets you discover the often-untold stories behind these inventions. \r\n\r\nOttawa Made also chronicles the creative highlights of some Ottawa-born artists --    the singer with the 13th top-selling album of all time (coming in just below Led Zeppelin IV), the lead actor in a ‘60s television show which still holds viewership records, and a songwriter who accomplished the rarest of musical hat-tricks – penning a song that hit the charts three different times for three different artists. \r\n\r\nEach one -- Ottawa Made. \r\n\r\nIn the spirit of innovation and experimentation, Ottawa Made will also tell you the story behind some of our more curious inventions – a top-selling sex toy, a prohibition-era whiskey – and some that didn’t quite succeed – the ill-fated sausage ship from Prescott.  \r\n\r\nA book that is both fun and informative, Ottawa Made is sure to delight anyone who calls Ottawa home – as authors Sam and Caroline do – along with all those who like to celebrate the accomplishments of Canadian inventors, entrepreneurs and artists.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46354361024722,"sku":"9781990896286","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_59819c79-ffd9-45f8-88fc-c2ddaf91462f.jpg?v=1763713663","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/ottawa-made","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
