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."
There's good news about seafoods. Eating plenty of fish and shellfish contributes greatly to good health by reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, some cancers and other serious ailments. Why seafood is special, and how you can best benefit from eating it, are the themes of this exciting and readable book.
Dr. Joyce Nettleton, a well-known nutritionist and seafood expert, tells the up-to-date story of omega-3 fatty acids, explains all about so-called "good" and "bad" cholesterol and gives clear and expert advice on how to choose and prepare fish and shellfish to take full advantage of the health benefits.
