Finalist for the 2006 BC Book Prize - Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize, this stunning coffee-table book highlights the Yukon's Three Rivers watershed, a vast and vital wilderness area emerging as a global environmental concern. As part of the boreal forest—covering nearly 11 percent of the Earth's surface—this ecosystem plays a crucial role in sustaining life on our planet. However, it faces threats from the renewed Mackenzie Valley pipeline proposal, the Alaska Pipeline, and increasing energy and mineral exploration. Conservationists worldwide are mobilizing to protect this last refuge of natural values. The book showcases one of the most strategically important undisturbed regions left, an oceanic wilderness rich in wildlife, including grizzly bears, wolves, caribou, and peregrine falcons. Featuring breathtaking photography and writings from notable figures like Courtney Milne, Margaret Atwood, and John Ralston Saul, this volume offers an unforgettable glimpse into a natural wonderland that many may find hard to believe still exists. It is a treasure for those who appreciate exceptional photography, fine writing, and the beauty of unspoiled nature, making it essential for anyone concerned about the future of our remarkable planet.

Colin Wilson believes that thousands of years before ancient Egypt and Greece became powerful, there was a great civilization whose ships travelled the world. Whereas we have no way of viewing the universe as a whole, these old ones possessed a knowledge system that offered a unified view of the universe, which was then passed on to descendants who escaped to Egypt and South America. It was this knowledge system - alien to modern man - that enabled them to move stones weighing a thousand tons.
