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 bulldozer is the unsung hero of the technological world, a machine that led to the development of many of the roads and settlements we enjoy today. But the humble dozer garners little recognition for its contributions to modern society. In Classic Vintage Crawlers & Dozers, authors Roger V. Amato and Donald J. Heimburger give the bulldozer its due by tracing its history from the Renaissance through to the crawlers' Golden Age of the 1960s.
From Benjamin Holt's early 1900 crawlers to C.L. Best's gasoline powered models, follow along as this volume highlights Allis-Chalmers and Case through the 1970s and Caterpillar of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. This first volume includes nearly 400 black and white photos, illustrations and colour photos gathered from shows, libraries, machinery manufacturing companies and private collections. You won't find another heavy equipment book like it!
