Download or read book The Birds of Vancouver Island s West Coast written by Adrian Dorst and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The west coast region of Vancouver Island encompasses mountainous terrain, rainforest, mudflats, and ragged coastlines that bear the brunt of storms spawned by an immense ocean. Remote and inaccessible to birders until well into the twentieth century, the rugged beauty of this “wild west coast,” attracts visitors from far and wide. And it also boasts a distinctive avian population that has made it one of Canada’s premier bird-watching destinations. The Birds of Vancouver Island’s West Coast is the essential guide to the region’s birds. It presents accounts of all of the species thus far recorded as occurring there – 360 in total – and updates the 231 species recorded up to 1978. Each account includes a brief introduction to the species and an overview of its total range. Key to the book’s detailed and authoritative accounts are first-hand observations and anecdotes recorded by the author over more than forty years. By far the most detailed and up-to-date account of the birds of this region, this book will inform, delight, and surprise amateur and professional birders alike.

Download or read book Except on the West Coast written by John A. Villegas and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of controversial issues our nation faces today. The book offers a better understanding on alternatives to laws and policies that have poor results from well intentioned solutions. In addition, it gives the reader a different point of view. This book also has stories from my personal life, which has lead to my beliefs and eventually led me to my convictions. Some of these chapters continue the philosophy of Adam Smith and Milton Freidman in regards to power of the free market. This book addresses problems in a more pragmatic manner on solutions on the issues our nation faces today. I believe once people read this book, they'll begin their own journey to examine more aspects of their lives and how government policies, and laws impact their success, positively or negatively.
