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."
More and more North Americans have been moving away from a meat-centred diet, for health, ideological, environmental and/or economic reasons. This latest book by Jeanne Marie Martin, an internationally known natural food writer, is a complete guide to the new lifestyle.
There are more than 120 recipes for mouth-watering and guilt-free appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and more - all of them free of refined foods and artificial additives, many of them dairy- and wheat-free. The book includes a guide to reducing red meat in the diet, food combining tips, and helpful pointers on selecting and storing poultry and seafood. And there are some great surprises: why the much-maligned egg is really one of nature's perfect health foods, how to make Chicken Kiev without any red meat-and yes, you can serve a delicious, low-fat tempura at your next dinner party!
