A walking guide to over 130 bird watching sites. Information on habitats and seasonal bird sightings for each site. Checklists of species for quick reference including the best times for sightings. Maps to make planning easier."British Columbia is a veritable treasure trove of natural wonders, a living natural history museum.

Set in a dark fantasy realm, the story follows a group of unlikely heroes as they confront ancient, malevolent gods awakened by dark sorcery. As they navigate treacherous landscapes filled with magic and betrayal, the characters must harness their unique abilities to combat the overwhelming forces threatening their world. Themes of sacrifice, the struggle between good and evil, and the quest for redemption intertwine, creating a gripping narrative filled with suspense and unexpected twists.

Exploring themes of aging, death, and place, this collection showcases the poet's keen observations of both the natural and human worlds. Through poems like "That Room in Alberta" and "Responsibilities," the author contrasts personal experiences with broader societal decay. Works such as "Under Their Mortal Glory" highlight a deep curiosity and admiration for nature. The collection ultimately encourages empathy and evokes feelings of sorrow, love, and hope, offering nuanced reflections on our interconnected existence.

Veteran environmental tutor and retired countryside ranger Keith Taylor seeks out spiritual and visual riches as he undertakes a year travelling to locations that have always intrigued him or may offer a fresh relationship with the outdoors, both through his own seasonally aware eyes and those of equally restless colleagues.

In Selected Poems, Keith Taylor, acclaimed poet of the Upper Midwest and the author of eighteen celebrated collections, delivers a stunning medley of his most lasting work: poems that remain vivid in the imagination, that have achieved a life beyond their first appearance on the page. With the signature charm and insight that have made him a beloved poet for nearly fifty years, Taylor dives into the wilderness of his life, in canoe and on foot. Across the decades, he reflects on what it means to be a painter, a writer, an observer of life's ordinary beauties; on encountering a bear in the Michigan woods; on the evolution of hitchhiking and the lives of saints; on his transfixion with Doreen dancing at his grade school's show-and-tell; and on the deep and abiding love of a long marriage. A triumphant celebration of growing up and the life that comes after, this is a collection not to be missed by fans of American poetry and all who wander in the wilderness.
