Wild beauty : a visual exploration of BC

In this visually stunning, richly informative portrait of British Columbia, renowned photographer Al Harvey takes readers beyond the iconic landmarks of Canada's westernmost province to its equally majestic, yet rarely seen corners.

With his discerning eye, adventurer's spirit and conservationist's respect for the natural world, Harvey captures British Columbia's unique, wild beauty.

From the misty peaks of Haida Gwaii's Queen Charlotte Mountains to the remote alpine tundra of the northern Rockies, from the source of the mighty Fraser River to its final Pacific destination, "Wild Beauty" beautifully expresses the geographic diversity of this land, all the while affirming the intimate connection between the physical terrain and the people who inhabit it.

Part travel guide, part geography lesson, this breathtaking visual journey will inspire long-time residents and adventurous tourists alike to get out and discover British Columbia for themselves.
