Description
A spectacular exploration of familiar places and seldom-seen treasures.
This lush book captures Canada from its southern border to the shores of the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic oceans, sweeping readers on a tour of the diverse landscapes in between, in 200 full-color photographs by the country's best photographers. Each page holds a new vista: the jagged peaks, delicate alpine flowers, and stunning glaciers of the Rockies; the rugged Canadian Shield and sprawling boreal forest much as they were centuries ago; the ancient First Nations totems of British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands. For those who've visited these places, this book is a breathtaking album of memories. For those who've yet to explore the country, Canada: A Visual Journey is the sightseeing tour of a lifetime.
Darwin Wiggett, Thomas Kitchin, Victoria Hurst, Mike Grandmaison, Wayne Lynch, Richard Hartmier, and Alan Sirulnikoff: the photo credits of Canada: A Visual Journey presents a who's who of Canadian landscape and wildlife photography. Wander with them into the incomparable places the nation has to offer.
About the author
Tanya Lloyd Kyi
grew up in Creston, B.C. She began her writing career as a high school poet, producing pages and pages of work that her mother loved and her best friend religiously archived (possibly for a future blackmailing scheme). The original edition of Canadian Girls Who Rocked the World was Tanya's first book for young readers. She has since published nine other titles, including Canadian Boys Who Rocked The World, which was short-listed for the Silver Birch Award by the Ontario Library Association. Tanya now lives in Vancouver, B.C.
