Download or read book First Invaders written by Alan Twigg and published by Literary Origins of British Company. This book was released on 2004 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unprecedented volume about British Columbia's earliest authors and first explorers (prior to 1800) provides a fascinating range of characters, events and intrigues. The names Cook and Quadra ring a bell for most of us, as do Bering and Vancouver, but what about the first year-round European resident of B.C., the Irish drunkard John Mackay? He voluntarily wintered at Nootka Sound in 1786 well before the more famous John Jewitt became the so-called "white slave" of Chief Maquinna in 1803. A year later the first European woman to visit and write about British Columbia was the eighteen-year-old bride Frances Barkley. She circumnavigated the globe with her husband after making a lasting impression with her long red hair at Friendly Cove in 1787. And how much do we know about the Greek-born navigator Juan de Fuca? Or the Machiavelli of the maritime fur trade, John Meares? More than 50 pre-nineteenth-century characters are presented - each with his or her own entry and bibliography. Alan Twigg has researched and skilfully introduced the first people to write about the west coast of Canada, provided extracts, gathered images, taken photographs and let the composite story unravel like a mini-series. First Invaders concludes with Alexander Mackenzie and his over-land trek to the Pacific in 1793, after providing ample coverage of the many lesser-known Spaniards and Americans who arrived in the wake of Captain James Cook in 1778 - and Captain Juan Pérez, the "discoverer" of British Columbia, in 1774.

Download or read book Land Ownership and Land Use Development written by Erwin Hepperle and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Europe, land is constantly the subject of enormous and widely varied pressures. The land we have is shrinking in area due to numerous reasons, including those that are directly related to climate change and migration. In fact all disciplines that have responsibilities for the husbandry use, management, and administration of the land are forced to address the problems of how to plan and how to utilise this increasingly valuable resource. The papers contained within this book emerge from two symposia held in 2014 and 2015, which now have been arranged along four general themes reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of the disciplines concerned with land. The first part is dedicated to the interpretation of key terms in their context and the dissimilar conceptual approaches in the governance of different states. It is followed by papers that identify the process of decision-taking: how to organize and co-operate. One large section addresses the identification of land pattern changes and the reason for it. The papers in the final cluster deal with the general theme of strategies and measures used to steer future evolution in land policies. The publication addresses various needs that have to be balanced: the tasks of living space in the face of societal and demographic changes, infrastructure supply, challenges of an increasingly urbanised region, food production, ‘green energy’, natural hazards, habitats and cultural landscapes protection.
Download or read book Geography of British Columbia written by Brett McGillivray and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brett McGillivray focuses first on the combination of physical processes that produced a spectacular variety of mountains, rivers, lakes, islands, fjords, forests, and minerals, explaining the forces that created the province and the natural hazards that can reshape it. A concise examination of B.C. historical geography follows, covering First Nations ways of life, colonization, Asian immigration, and the sad history of institutionalized racism. The second half of the book contains a detailed description of the economic geography of the province, with chapters on forestry, the salmon fishery, metal mining, energy supply and demand, agriculture, water, and the tourism industry. It addresses the present-day issues of urbanization, economic development, and resource management, providing a thorough background to these topics and suggesting what the future might hold. This up-to-date and comprehensive exploration of the rich historical geography and development of British Columbia will be welcomed by teachers, students, scholars, and everyone with an interest in the province.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to Hasson and Ley, the protest movements of the 1960s began a new era of urban politics evident today in the range and diversity of neighbourhood organizations. In this comparative study, the authors identify and explore four distinct types of neighbourhood organizations by pairing four neighbourhoods in Vancouver with four in Jerusalem. Each organizational type represents a different phase of the emergent welfare state and each is characterized by its distinctive ideologies, strategies, and relations with government. Hasson and Ley argue that political geography at the neighbourhood level is both diverse and complex, but that it does follow identifiable patterns." "The four typologies presented are ratepayers' groups, paternalistic associations, protest organizations, and groups characterized by cooperative ventures with the state. Canada and Israel provide ideal comparative settings. Both are relatively new nations absorbing large immigrant populations and both are engaged in building welfare states within democratic/capitalist frameworks. At the same time, their obvious differences foreground the roles of culture, national history, and personal leadership in the formation of neighbourhood organizations. The authors draw on interviews and documentation to present a detailed case study of each neighbourhood organization, exploring its history, individual characteristics, impact on urban life, and interaction with the state." "This rich and complex study offers basic reading for urbanists, community planners, and social and political scientists. The authors provide a detailed review of relevant literature and make a strong contribution to both theory and fieldwork in their discipline."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
