About BC Books Online
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."

Description
These essays describe childhood memories, everyday walks transformed into life-changing events, being in the grip of a great force, startling encounters with wild animals and even one fantasy. They are funny, sad, reflective, optimistic, nostalgic, exciting, pessimistic and outlandish. Each one presents a singular experience of enlightenment, awe, passion, outrage, sadness or exhilaration. All are beautifully written and powerfully felt. Contributors to this Collection include: Diane Ackerman, Margaret Atwood, Rick Bass, Sharon Butala, Wade Davis, Robert Drewe, Timothy Findley, Richard Flanagan, Bill McKibben, Jennifer Potter, Beth Powning, David Quammen, David Reynolds, David Adams Richards, and David Suzuki.
Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation.
