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."
This magnificently illustrated tour through BC's forest landscapes shows that there is much more to the Stein, South Moresby, Carmanah and Clayoquot controversies than the logger vs. environmentalist standoffs in the news headlines.
No one knows more about this embattled resource than the working foresters who have spent their lives seeing both the forests and the trees. With 150 colour photographs and material gathered from some of BC's most experienced professional foresters, this book is a clear, concise description of the theory and practice of modem forestry. It is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about forest policy, and for anyone who loves the woodlands of British Columbia.
