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
A spectacular exploration of familiar places and seldom-seen treasures.
This lush book captures Canada from its southern border to the shores of the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic oceans, sweeping readers on a tour of the diverse landscapes in between, in 200 full-color photographs by the country's best photographers. Each page holds a new vista: the jagged peaks, delicate alpine flowers, and stunning glaciers of the Rockies; the rugged Canadian Shield and sprawling boreal forest much as they were centuries ago; the ancient First Nations totems of British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands. For those who've visited these places, this book is a breathtaking album of memories. For those who've yet to explore the country, Canada: A Visual Journey is the sightseeing tour of a lifetime.
Darwin Wiggett, Thomas Kitchin, Victoria Hurst, Mike Grandmaison, Wayne Lynch, Richard Hartmier, and Alan Sirulnikoff: the photo credits of Canada: A Visual Journey presents a who's who of Canadian landscape and wildlife photography. Wander with them into the incomparable places the nation has to offer.
