Book excerpt: This photo journal shares the experiences and adventures of the first person to hike all the way across British Columbia on the Trans Canada Trail, from Victoria to Alberta. This book will interest both those who live in British Columbia and those who do not. For residents of British Columbia--who already know a lot about their beautiful province--this photo journal, told from a hiker's up-close perspective, will deepen that knowledge. Crossing a province as varied as British Columbia at "human speed" provides a perspective that no other mode of travel can match. Scenes that are fleeting glimpses when seen from a speeding car--or even a fast-moving bicycle--take on a new reality when experienced at walking speed. And for those not living in BC, this book can serve as a great introduction to this fascinating province, that goes far beyond guidebooks or coffee table books. Besides those interested in BC, this photo journal will resonate with all hikers, far and wide. Finally, note that all proceeds from sale of this book are donated to the Trans Canada Trail Foundation, so every purchaser will have played a role in supporting completion of the longest continuous trail in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 15,000 copies sold, Cycling the Kettle Valley has proven to be a remarkable resource for anyone interested in the stunning abandoned railbed located in the southern interior of British Columbia. One of the premier rail trails in North America, it contains spectacular sections through impressive canyons requiring tunnels and trestles to carry the railbed through rock ridges and across mountain streams. Growing public interest in conservation of the railbed and its structures, along with government support, has resulted in many improvements in both access and safety. The Kettle Valley Railway and its many connectors offer the cyclist everything from easy day-riding to multi-day adventures through the magnificent scenery of southern British Columbia between Midway and Hope. This world-renowned guidebook includes detailed maps, safety tips, historic information, a listing of accommodations and a kilometre by kilometre guide to each of the Kettle Valley Railway subdivisions.

Book excerpt: Long praised for its accuracy, readability, and insight, the Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public Affairs offers a synoptic appraisal of the year's developments in Canadian politics. Canada went to war in 1999, participating in a two-month NATO-led air war against Yugoslavia over its treatment of Kosovar Albanians. Attracting less public attention was an important turn in the country's constitutional arrangements - the creation of Nunavut - producing a self-governing capacity for the Inuit. The year 1999 also saw both the federal and British Columbia governments approve an historic agreement with the Nisga'a Nation. Additionally, Jean Chrétien's Liberal government pushed ahead with its plan to create a law that sets out the rules around any future referendum on Quebec's sovereignty. The Canadian Annual Review is unique in its collection and presentation of the year in politics. The combination of the calendar and the text offers a superb, easy-access reference source for political events, both federal and provincial.
