About BC Books Online
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."
Description
Twenty influential writers and scientists contribute personal, practical, and political essays celebrating our planet.
In this powerful collection of original essays, twenty of the world's most influential journalists, writers, scientists, and environmentalists lend their voices to inform and engage those who are committed to the survival of the Earth and its inhabitants. Personal, practical, political, full of wonder and rage, this book respectfully continues the conversation that the inimitable David Suzuki began more than fifty years ago. With essays inspired by Canada's foremost environmentalist, contributions include personal experiences with nature, including:
David Helvarg on childhood and the sea
Rick Bass on falling in love with the Yaak Valley in Montana
Richard Mabey on a May night in Suffolk with a full moon
Helen Caldicott on our notions of terrorism and poverty
Ross Gelbspan on a public policy strategy that could make Kyoto targets a reality for North America
Carl Safina on the continued need for effective science communicators
Sherilyn MacGregor on Earth-friendly citizenship, leadership, and scholarship.
Finally, Tom Berger, John Lucchesi, and Robyn Williams describe their personal experiences with David Suzuki and what his example has meant to them.
