With just two weeks until Christmas, what better present than a gorgeous picture book on the Great Bear Rainforest in support of charity? An older, but still beautiful publication: The Great Bear Rainforest: Canada's Forgotten Coast by Ian and Karen McAllister (and forward by Robert F. Kenndey Jr.) is available online. All proceeds support the environmental organization, Pacific Wild, who you can contact directly for signed copies!
The publisher notes that the McAllisters -- both environmental campaigners -- spent over ten years exploring, photographing and researching this once-forgotten coast. The book contains over 150 stunning colour photographs. With these photographs, a personable, informative commentary and full-colour maps and drawings, this book is the first to unveil the beauty and magnificence of this unique place.
One reviewer eloquently describes it as:
"This book is written as a journal of a sailing voyage. Although the authors had previously visited the remarkable areas they photograph and describe six times before, the seventh visit is chronicled in these pages. Thus there is a great depth of knowledge and experience inherent to this work which transforms a simple if elegant journal into a powerful, somewhat doleful, environmental monograph."
A lovely coffee table book that supports wildlife and habitat protection in the Great Bear Rainforest, which also informs and motivates. The ideal green gift for the holidays!
