Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Silent Inlet traces the lives of four very different characters in Hansen Sound, a fictional small-town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Amidst storms, mist and rain, they find themselves thrown together, struggling to trust one another. When a violent accident injures a handicapped boy, the tentative relationships that they have established begin to fall apart. Chaos ensues and lives begin to unravel. Harry Farre is a feisty woman in her sixties, who lives primitively on an island in the middle of Hansen Sound. Her daughter, Hannah, is returning to the Sound in the aftermath of a failed relationship. Big Mack Stanley is a First Nations man in his late thirties, beset by the troubles of his upbringing. His orphaned nephew, Lonny, is ten years old, desperate for love and a place to belong. Each of these characters sees life without "seeing" each other, and the story is told in their interweaving voices and points of view. Hesquiaht hereditary chief, Simon Lucas, once said: "You only see us with one eye." This novel brings the west coast to life through a spectrum of perspectives within which the reader experiences the raw physicality of people and place: people who are caught in the sea of turbulence, hardship and brilliance that characterizes the west coast, shaped by its history, First Nations culture, and the forces of Nature.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Trout Tales & Salmon Stories is a nostalgic collection of some of the best stories, articles, and photographs from the life's work of Bill Macdonald - master fisherman, outdoor writer, philosopher-conservationist, and a former director / producer for the National Film Board of Canada." "During his life Bill Macdonald has written and published well over a thousand articles and stories. In each one his love of fishing and the natural world comes bubbling through. His enthusiasm for angling is infectious; his knowledge of the sport, from the simplest handlining tackle to guided expeditions, prodigious. In Trout Tales & Salmon Stories Bill Macdonald shares some of his most memorable fishing trips. He gives advice on tackle, equipment, and fishing techniques suitable to the time of year and the species of fish sought." "The majority of these stories and articles were written in the late forties and early fifties. Many were first written at the urging of the late Ted Trueblood when Ted was fishing editor for Field and Stream magazine in New York. However, all of Bill Macdonald's pieces are as timely today as when they were written. Every reader will find in these pages a refreshing tonic against the ills of our age and a thousand reasons for donning their chest waders, dusting off their lines, sharpening their hooks, mossing down their creels, packing up their rods, and heading into the great outdoors to go fishing."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Crocodiles and Ice?recounts Jon Turk's journey from suburban Connecticut into Deep Wild, an ancient passage, repeated ? in one form or another ? a zillion times, and ignored just as often.?It is a storyteller's passage of discovery, full of high adventure and humour on his multiple award-winning Ellesmere Circumnavigation, as well as on expeditions in the jungles and oceans of the Solomon Islands, on the Himalayan plateau, and across the mountains of northern British Columbia. Throughout all these expeditions, ?Crocodiles and Ice?explores a Consciousness Revolution toward a personal, spiritual, and reciprocal relationship with the planet even as our oil-soaked, internet-crazed, consumer-oriented society rushes rapidly and recklessly into massive and catastrophic climate change. He invites his readers to listen to our ancestors, a wolf that lingers, a Siberian shaman, a Chinese bicycle nomad, a lonely Tlingit warrior laying down to die in a storm, and the landscapes themselves.?Because beyond technological marvels and imagined responsibility, there lies a glorious and sustainable lifestyle that is based ? not on consumerism and consumption ? but on Deep Wild as a place of solace, sanity, and hope.…
