This book was released on 2010 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecology and Wonder celebrates Western Canada's breathtaking landscape. The book makes several remarkable claims. The greatest cultural achievement in the mountain region of western Canada may be what has been preserved, not what has been developed. Protecting the spine of the Rocky Mountains will preserve crucial ecological functions. Because the process of ecosystem diminshment and species loss has been slowed, an ecological thermostat has been kept alive. This may well be an important defence against future impacts of climate change in the Canadian West.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's National Playground: A Guide and Souvenir of Banff and Tourist Resorts of the Rocky and Selkirk Mountains in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada Two and a half miles beyond the Cave and Basin, and on the same road, is one of the most Sun Dance fairy-like and fascinating spots at the foot Canyon. Of Sulphur mountain - Sun Dance Canyon, It is a remarkable cleft in the mountain through which tumbles and roars the creek of the some name. The falls, which are some hundreds of feet high, can be followed up to the summit by a bridle path cut in the solid rock. It is said, that in olden days the plateau above was a favorite camping place of the Indians. It was here that the copper-colored aspirant to tribal honors passed through the final ordeal of courage - the suspension by the skin of the shoulder blades, and other tests of endurance - before being admitted to the symbolic rites which signified that the Great Spirit had endowed him with the powers essential to the full-blooded brave.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mountain parks are for all Canadians for all time and their value cannot be measured in terms of how many access roads, motels, souvenir shops and golf courses we've provided. -Bob Jordan, 1971 The Alpine Club of Canada imagined the Rockies and neighbouring ranges to the west and the north as a "climber's paradise." Through a century of adventure and advocacy, the ACC led the way to mountain pursuits in spectacular regions. Historian and mountain studies specialist PearlAnn Reichwein's research is informed by her experiences mountaineering and by her interest in mountain culture. She presents a compelling case for understanding wild spaces and human activity within them as parts of a whole. A work of invaluable scholarship in the areas of environmental history, public policy, sport studies, recreation, and tourism, Climber's Paradise will appeal to many non-specialists, mountaineers, environmentalists, and travellers across Canada and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brian Evans blends memoir and history to draw a vivid picture of China and its cultural outreach over the past three decades. His historical and sociological insights as student, scholar, and administrator form an authentic commentary as he discusses China and the Cold War; the Cultural Revolution; the post-Mao transformation of China; Canada's relations with China; the cultural impact of the overseas Chinese community on the Canadian Prairies; development of China studies in Canada and elsewhere; the current impact of China on Canadian higher education; and recent Chinese history seen within a broader context. With this book, Evans seeks to make a contribution to the understanding of the nature and wide range of Canada-China relations, an area in which he himself has played a role.

Book excerpt: During the Depression the Canadian National Parks Branch was under pressure to make the park system truly national, to bring the advantages of parks to all provinces. In Atlantic Canada, however, it found itself dealing with an environment that was far different from what it was accustomed to in Western Canada. The land areas were smaller, flatter, and, having been settled for generations, could hardly be considered wild. Wildlife was smaller and less numerous.
