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."
A complete guide to Field Hockey. Field hockey is a team game incorporating fitness -- both speed and endurance -- as well as ball and stick-handling skills. It is a worthwhile activity for people of all ages as it is a non-contact, sportsmanlike game. It is unique and requires great discipline because only one side of the stick, as well as a small, hard ball is used. Field Hockey allows for individual and team play. It includes a wide spectrum of motor skills and encourages cooperation, confidence, leadership and poise while developing awareness and understanding. The Field Hockey handbook is an extension of the Secondary Physical Education Curriculum and Resource Guide (1980). The information included in the handbook is designed to provide the instructor with a comprehensive source of information for the teaching of Field Hockey.
