.Top 10 Vancouver & Victoria (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: DK Publishing

March 17, 2008
Good compact guide book. Has nice maps. The organization of the topics are a little odd. I wish there was more than a few pages on Victoria. Great if Vancouver is your main destination. Some of the "see page xx" references are not correct, the editor messed up on the cross referencing of topics.

.If You're Not from the Prairie
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: David Bouchard

May 06, 2002
If you're from the prairie you will really "get" this book. I bought it as an addition to my collection of books that help me think about sense of place. As far as sense of place is concerned, it goes along nicely with All the Places to Love by Patricia Maclachlan - this one isn't about the prairie, but it is very moving.

.Moon Canadian Rockies: Including Banff and Jasper National Parks (Moon Handbooks)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Andrew Hempstead

February 22, 2007
just spent 10 days in the canadian rockies and this guidebook made the trip great. it's an amazing area and information in this book is well organized and let's you plan your trip well. one thing we did find off was the grading system for hikes, some "easy" hikes were definitely not. outside of that this guidebook was very complete and accurate, from sights, to restaurants and lodging. one of the best travel books i've ever used.

.High Latitudes: An Arctic Journey
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Farley Mowat

February 10, 2003
A sad book. High Latitudes focuses on the disintegrating culture of North Canadian Natives. Much of the book is transcription of the natives in their own words and gives excellent insight into their plight. An overriding theme of the book is the devastating effect bureaucratic decisions of government and big business has had on these Inuits (Eskimos) and others.

This wasn't the adventure story I was expecting from Farley Mowat like "People of the Deer" in which he lived with an arctic community. This trip, taken in 1966, he travels by plane. Still none the less an adventure, he keenly describes a variety of northern communities including: Churchill ("a ...collection of mostly wooden structures between taiga and open tundra"), Povungnituk ...

.The Iambics of Newfoundland: Notes from an Unknown Shore
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Robert Finch

May 01, 2008
Robert Finch's "The Iambics of Newfoundland" reconnected myself to my own experiences as a visitor to Newfoundland's shores. Having been "from away" Robert's book helped put into words the same generosity and concerns Newfoundlanders exhibited during my time on "The Rock".
My definition of a typical Newfie had always been a person that helps though you didn't ask, does more than what you expect and then apologies because they felt they hadn't helped you enough. His book helps show what a truly wonderful community these people are and explains precisely how, after hundreds of years of hardship and uncertainty these families have endured, adapted but mostly kept that keen sense of humour and respect for their surroundings.

.Pacific Northwest Camping Destinations: RV and Car Camping Destinations in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (Camping Destinations series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Mike Church, Terri Church

April 01, 2008
We live near Tacoma and have a motorhome that doesn't fit in many of the state and federal campgrounds in the Northwest. This newest Church book is very good at helping to find the right places for our rig. In a month, using their advice, we found three wonderful RV campgrounds that we didn't know about. One is next to a first class trout river and another is at an entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. Maybe the best part is that this book is helping us re-discover where we can go without using a lot of fuel! This is a great book for those that have never been to the Northwest as well as those that live there. Buy it! You'll like it!
