Quarto, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xix + 151 pp. Near-Fine, in a Very Good, price-clipped dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket:Vancouver's Edwardian wood frame houses now stand in the shadow of highrises; her few cobblestone streets reflect neon lights in the rain, and her turn-of-the-century mansions look out onto the terraces of condominium apartments. Only scattered reminders of the earlier city still exist -- an old brick facade on Hastings Street, a giant fir stump in Point Grey. But Vancouver's past comes alive in the pages of this book. Over 200 photographs and advertisements capture ten decades of the city's life: teams of oxen in the forest, women in calf-length bathing dresses, broken windows after a race riot, munition factory workers, quiet Sunday picnics, old cars, the joy of a city discovering itself. As a counterpoint to the photographs the editors have selected quotations from diaries and journals and excerpts from the newspapers of the day. A capsule history begins each chapter.

Ideal for experienced and novice birdwatchers by an author who has spent sixty years loving the hobby of bird watching. This moderately compact volume iss packed with a fascinating range of avians from the canvasback to the barn owl, peregrine falcon to the fool hen. Here is a striking gift of art and photographs and an excellent source for beginning and experienced birdwatchers alike! This refreshingly unique field guide provides all the identification information with specific details on: mature and immature plumage, seasonal changes, sex differentiation, voices, habits and natures, and where applicable, their nests and eggs. This reference source surpasses the regular guides in b.g. lore and photographs, revealing the birds in their natural habitat - as watchers see them! More than two hundred shorebirds and predators are clearly identified in photos and drawings - all the species of loons, grebes, gulls, terns, albatrosses, eagles, hawks, herons, swans and ducks of the thriving region. John Rodgers found his first birdnest, that of the European whitethroat, when he was a lad of four, walking the lanes of his native Warwickshire with his dad. "I can remember that day, sixty years ago, more clearly than yesterday and I've been watching birds ever since." As the thousands of folks who read his column in the Vancouver Sun will know, Rodgers is prehaps the ideal person to have written this charming guide. His approach to watching is that of the layman. Rodgers is not trained in biology or ornithology, but is simply a lover of birds. Six decades of bird study in England and Canada, where he lived since 1962, and an ability with words - a newspaper man for 50 years - led to this authoritative, entertaining, and accessible guide. John Rodgers earlier 'Birds of Vancouver' was a bestseller when published in 1971, and as of the publishing of "Shorebirds and Predators," Rodgers was at work on the companion volume to this book, 'Songbirds'. Features a detailed four-page index. Printed and bound in Canada by Hignell Printing, Limited. 199 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
