Book excerpt: This text is a continuation of the author's previous narratives which included the original source material from the earliest maritime exploration in the Pacific Northwest. The author's first two books traced the visits by the Spanish and George Vancouver to inland Washington waters. These books included transcriptions of the actual journals of our earliest explorers. This follow-up book resumes the saga and follows Vancouver and the Spanish in 1792 through British Columbia waters while they complete their circumnavigation of Vancouver Island. It contains the journals of George Vancouver, Alcala Galiano and Cayetano Valdéz and four of Vancouver's men. These journals provide the first European descriptions and observations of our inland waters as well as the First Nations encountered while they rowed their longboats through previously uncharted territory. Complete with all of their charts, this is a fascinating read directly from the men who made our early history.Richard W. Blumenthal is the author of five historical texts on northwest maritime history. All are available at InlandWatersPublishing.com He lives in Bellevue, Washington.

Download or read book City Making in Paradise written by Ken Cameron and published by D & M Publishers. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time and again, Vancouver is recognized internationally as one of the best places to live. It achieved that reputation by breaking rules and forging its own brand of North American urbanism. City Making in Paradise details the nine most important decisions made in the Greater Vancouver region since the 1940s. Authors Mike Harcourt and Ken Cameron, themselves key players in several of these developments, reveal the political machinations, the ideological struggles and the personal commitment that lay behind each one. By tracing today’s successes back to their roots, they illustrate their central theme; that cities are the result of the daily choices we make as leaders, activists and citizens.

Download or read book Wildlife Weekends in Southern British Columbia written by Roy Jantzen and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An astounding new guidebook packed with colour photographs, day trips, personal reflections, and a variety of activities for nature lovers of all ages. Wildlife Weekends invites readers to discover the wildlife that inhabit the ecosystems of southern British Columbia. Greater awareness may lead the reader to form a deeper appreciation and understanding of animals in their habitats, ultimately resulting in more people placing greater value on our role in protecting, conserving, and even rewilding ecosystems. Written as a guidebook with 20 species-focused chapters covering southern British Columbia, Wildlife Weekends leads the reader to 'hardened' sites (sites that already have viewing infrastructure in place, such as trails, boardwalks, parking, and restrooms) within a six-hour drive from Vancouver. Each chapter guides the reader on a place-based discovery of the species in its local ecosystem. Topics include natural history, First Nations cultural or traditional ecological knowledge connections, current scientific research, and personal stories from wildlife researchers. Themes include how to engage and take action around a species, ethical viewing considerations, minimizing the carbon footprint of your experience, and understanding how each species is affected by climate change. Special emphasis is placed on involving children and youth, ways to protect wildlife, and resources to grow one's knowledge. Wildlife and locations span widely, from killer whales off Saturna Island to hummingbirds in Princeton, and from snakes in Osoyoos to bald eagles on the Chehalis Flats near Harrison. Species outlined range even more widely, from tiny pika to enormous grey whales, from endangered Vancouver Island marmots to iconic moose and colourful Canada darner dragonflies. Wildlife Weekends offers something for everyone!
