Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...] The somewhat peculiar boundaries of the Canadian National Parks may call for a word of explanation. It will be noticed that on their western, or rather southwestern, sides Rocky Mountains and Jasper Parks stop at the continental divide, or in other words at the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia. The explanation is this: when British Columbia came into the Dominion she retained control of the public lands within her borders; on the other hand when the province of Alberta was created her land remained vested in the Dominion. Consequently the federal authorities may establish national parks wherever they will on the Alberta side of the[...]".

Download or read book Ecology & Wonder in the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site written by Robert W. Sandford and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecology and Wonder celebrates Western Canada's breathtaking landscape. The book makes several remarkable claims. The greatest cultural achievement in the mountain region of western Canada may be what has been preserved, not what has been developed. Protecting the spine of the Rocky Mountains will preserve crucial ecological functions. Because the process of ecosystem diminshment and species loss has been slowed, an ecological thermostat has been kept alive. This may well be an important defence against future impacts of climate change in the Canadian West.

Download or read book Place Names of the Canadian Alps written by William Lowell Putnam and published by Light Technology Publishing. This book was released on 1990-07-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether traveling among the mountains or climbing, hiking, or skiing, have you ever wondered where the names of the peaks, rivers and lakes ever came from, or who named them and why? This book is an effort to do just that for a particular part of North America that rivals the European Alps in fame. Climbing and exploration in the Canadian Rockies and the interior ranges of British Columbia is relatively recent compared to that of Europe’s Alps whose golden age occurred in the early 1800s. Much of British Columbia was only known with the coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, and peaks exist that are yet unclimbed — and in some cases unnamed. Alberta’s Rocky Mountains and British Columbia’s Selkirks, Purcells, Cariboos and Monashees compose what is here referred to as the “Canadian Alps.” The authors have done all within their scope of knowledge and expertise and relied on many outside sources to compile this text, which is meant as an entertaining and informative treatise on the toponymy of this increasingly popular alpine region. Accompanied by the photographs of Glen W. Boles and Roger W. Laurilla, co-authors with William L. Putnam, here is a book any avid mountaineer, skier or hiker will require in his or her library. Visitors from abroad, whether active in the mountains or not, may find this book an informative necessity as they drive through our mountain national parks. For the authors, this book has been a labor of love — for the mountains they love and for all those who love the mountains and find themselves curious of the names bestowed on the geographic features surrounding them.

Book excerpt: The first book of Ansel Adams's early photographs of the Canadian Rockies. "These mountains are breathtaking - utterly different than anything we have seen. The peaks and forest and 'tone' fulfill almost every ideal I have had of what 'my' mountains could be. . . These are the great mountains we dream about." --Ansel Adams to his wife Virginia, 1928 The Sierra Club's twenty-seventh annual outing or "High Trip" was Ansel Adams's first as official photographer. It was during this expedition to the Canadian Rockies in 1928 that Ansel began to find his voice as a photographer. In ANSEL ADAMS IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES, we discover images of celebrated natural sites including Mount Robson, Amethyst Lake, Drawbridge Peak, and Bennington Glacier that foreshadow the majestic mountain vistas for which Adams would become renowned. A fine chronicle of one of Ansel Adams's earliest major photographic expeditions, and the only one he ever made outside of the United States, this book also serves as a record of Ansel's emerging style during these crucial years in his artistic development.
