Recenzii
“Finely textured, rich in detail, both lyrical and eloquent, this accounting of the province's true wealth is a literary event to be celebrated.” —Stephen Hume, Vancouver Sun

Written in easy prose and abundantly illustrated with photographs and detailed colour graphs and maps, the book contains enough information to enthrall even the advanced naturalist.” —Larry Pynn, Canadian Geographic
“A splendid book... that’s as much literature as science... a natural history packed with drama, mystery and heartbreak.” —Nature Canada
“A wonderful book! Well written and beautifully illustrated... Highly recommended to all naturalists!” —Canadian Field Naturalist
