The Sunshine Coast
by Howard White
BC's Sunshine Coast is 100 miles of craggy shoreline just 40 minutes north of Vancouver. From Gibsons -- where the popular series The Beachcombers introduced viewers all over the world to the coast's scenic wonders -- to Jervis Inlet, Powell River, Lund and Desolation Sound, the stories and images in this book cover the waterfront -- from the deep rain forests, to the profuse wildlife, to the logging camps, Indian villages and bustling ports, with plenty of lesser-known points of interest not visible from the history books or the highway.
Somebody's Heart Is Burning
by Tanya Shaffer
“It's my life, and if I want to run from it I can,” quips Tanya Shaffer. An incorrigible wanderer, Shaffer has a habit of fleeing domesticity for the joys and rigors of the open road. This time her destination is Ghana, and what results is a transformative year spent roaming the African continent. Eager to transcend the limitations of tourism, Shaffer works as a volunteer, building schools and hospitals in remote villages. At the heart of her tale are the profound, complex, often challenging relationships she forms with those she meets along the way. Whether recounting a perilous boat trip to Timbuktu, a night of impassioned political debate in Ghana, or a fumbled romance in Burkina Faso, Shaffer portrays the collision of African and North American cultures with self-deprecating humor and clear-eyed compassion. Filled with warmth, candor, and an exuberant sense of adventure, Somebody’s Heart is Burning raises provocative questions about privilege, wealth, and the true meaning of friendship.
