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 Incubation Book was the title of Dr. Arthur Anderson Brown's original highly acclaimed book on this subject, which was reprinted four times. It was revised and updated in 1994 with many new photographs and an additional chapter. Now the whole book has been revised again by G.E.S. Robbins to include the advances in incubator manufacture and the latest incubation techniques in current use. The New Incubation Book is particularly recommended for all who are interested in incubation whether it be for pheasants, waterfowl, parrots, birds of prey, ratites, or many other unusual species, including reptiles. Dr. Anderson Brown's scientific approach to his subject makes the book of great value for college and university courses that include Zoology, Embryology and Incubation. The practical research by Dr. Anderson Brown and G.E.S. Robbins has resulted in incubators with sophisticated electronic control of temperature, turning and humidity. These are now manufactured commercially for use around the world. Dr. Anderson Brown's original ideas have been developed into some of the most advanced and successful equipment available. The additional information added by G.E.S. Robbins now brings this bible on incubation fully up to date.
