BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
The long-awaited collection of new works by the world's most beloved wildlife painter and conservationist.
Robert Bateman is one of the world's greatest wildlife artists and most committed naturalists. This exquisite collection of recent works, all reproduced here for the first time in book form, features more than one hundred full-colour reproductions depicting both North American and international mammals, birds, and other wildlife, as well as black-and-white details and sketches. This glorious edition features an introduction and eleven short essays by Bateman in which he shares his wisdom on nature, environmentalism, education, and the role of art in the preservation of wilderness. The text also includes commentary on specific works. Bateman: New Works is an essential addition to every Bateman collection or a satisfying introduction to the work of this revered and iconic artist.
p class=review_text>Robert Bateman's ability to render snow, lichen and the sunlight on water is whatnon-artists think of as 'magic' . . . His illustrations are superb, and I heartily endorse his sales pitch: 'Every adult who knows a child, go out into nature with that child once every weekend.' —Times Colonist
