Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written during the COVID-19 pandemic by 23 'ordinary' West Vancouver citizens, these stories celebrate the courage, kindness and resilience of the human spirit. West Vancouver Stories: The Pandemic Project is a celebration of hope and resilience. It ensures that our stories will never be lost. "The pandemic of 20/21 has impacted us all in ways none of us could have imagined. While we are united in fighting this common enemy, how each of us experiences it is unique. And I believe that to develop empathy as a society, we need to hear the stories of others. That's why the West Vancouver Stories initiative is so important. It's an opportunity for a diverse and courageous cross-section of our community to share compelling and intimate reflections on life during this extraordinary time; and for the rest of us to understand and appreciate those insights." Mary-Ann Booth, Mayor of West Vancouver Contributing writers: Anne Baird, Annie Hill, Brenda Morrison, Chris Stringer, Deanna Regan, D. Higgins, Domenica Mastromatteo, Elizabeth Wooding, Elke Babicki, Fay Mehr, Jennifer (Lutes) Hill, Joanne Singleton, Julie Flynn, Karen Hoffman, Karen Tidball, Kimberley Clarke, Lindy Hughes Pfeil, L.

For anyone who has felt, even for a moment, the 'missingness' of an unlived life and wondered what to do about it. When Lindy's husband discovers that she has been living a secret life as a burlesque dancer, all while he has been home watching football, he is not amused. To keep the peace, she stops performing, and that's when things fall apart. Perimenopause (whatever that is) does not help, and Lindy finds herself in some curiously compromising situations. There is Thor, the stuntman from Texas, Satya with the dreadlocks and camper-van, beautiful Adam, and the Crazy. In the midst of a hot flush, Lindy remembers her destiny (bestowed on her by Father Ignatius at Catholic school when she was fifteen years old) to save the world. So, on her fifty-first birthday, she tells her husband that she can no longer be married. She needs to find her Big Life, the one that doesn't include a picket-fence house in the suburbs with a minivan in the driveway. Since her husband is, above all, a practical man, he suggests that she go for a walk to think about things before making any final decisions. Forgetting that she doesn't like walking, Lindy heads to Northern Spain with her purple backpack, Petunia. With blistered toes and a swollen ankle, she stomps along the sacred soil of the Camino de Santiago in search of God (if he exists), forgiveness (if that is possible), and herself (whomever the hell that is). With no guidebook and no sense of direction, she gets lost. Very lost. In that lostness, she is forced to stare the serpent in the eye, have it out with Jesus, and face her naked truth. Told with audacious honesty, The Common Wife is the irreverent memoir of one woman's pilgrimage to the Ends of the Earth. Think Bridget Jones's Diary, combined with Eat, Pray, Love and Wild. Add a bunch of pilgrims, a toolbox filled with glitter, Satan on a mountaintop and pole-dancing Jesus. Not for the fainthearted....

Book excerpt: For the first time in a chapter-book format, Newbery Medal winner Beverly Cleary’s twin characters, Jimmy and Janet, will charm young children with their humorous adventures. Jimmy and Janet are twins, but that doesn't mean they are just alike. When we first meet Jimmy, he wants to dig a real hole. He likes to use a real, grown-up shovel. While he's working, his sister, Janet, pretends to be a bird! She likes to use her imagination. But the twins both like silly jokes, new boots, and talking to Mr. Lemon, the mailman. As Beverly Cleary writes about Jimmy and Janet's doings, the unique understanding of children that she brings to all of her beloved books is coupled with a keen awareness of duo dynamics that comes from raising twins herself. Originally published as four separate picture books (The Real Hole, Two Dog Biscuits, The Growing-Up Feet, and Janet's Thingamajigs), these are stories that a Jimmy would like because they are so true-to-life, and that a Janet would love because they are so believable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Vancouver is a community defined by its geography, bordered on three sides by the ocean, backed by mountainous wilderness and threaded by creeks and ravines. This setting gives the region a distinct identity, attracting people from all over the world with the prospect of stunning scenery and unparalleled opportunities for outdoor activity, but also defines how the community has developed. As West Vancouver transitioned from a beachfront cottage community to a region filled with houses that only the affluent can afford, its growth has been characterized by ongoing tension between efforts to conserve its natural beauty and the drive to open it up to eager would-be West Vancouverites. In recent decades, the Squamish Nation has also become a major player in shaping the future direction of the area. In Dreamers and Designers, Francis Mansbridge traces the history of West Vancouver, examining how its approach to land use has shaped the region and illustrating the consequences of this fight, including the marginalization of its less affluent citizens. The text is enlivened by accounts of the major personalities involved in the shaping of West Vancouver and sidebars featuring the voices of West Vancouverites throughout the ages. With archival and contemporary photographs that provide a visual account of the changing landscape, Dreamers and Designers paints a vivid picture of how West Vancouver’s unique setting has defined the dynamic coastal community and the lives of those who reside there.

You'll see all the campsites, rest areas, launch sites, anchorages, private marinas, government wharves, ferry terminals, and lighthouses, as well as the possible hazards of each area. Also included are the key places to see killer whales, grizzlies, sea lions, and birds and to explore heritage sites, ruins, sunken ships, trails, and parks. Colour photographs right on the maps provide visual clues and added beauty. Volume 1, South BC Coast and East Vancouver Island This volume provides an overview of British Columbia's south coast from Victoria to Port McNeill, and from Howe Sound to the Broughton Islands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Alfred Wallace opened a shipbuilding yard at the north end of Granville Street bridge in 1894, he had little idea that the business would last nearly 100 years. Wallace Shipyards moved to North Vancouver in 1906, became Burrard Dry Dock in 1921, and Versatile Pacific in 1985, and saw changes in marine construction from wooden sailing schooners to steel icebreakers and high-tech search-and-rescue vessels. The saga of Burrard includes stories of some of the famed ships of the Union Steamship Company that opened up the BC coast; of Canada's post-World War I merchant marine fleet; of the St. Roch, the first boat to traverse the Northwest Passage in both directions and to circumnavigate North America; of the BC Ferry fleet; and of the warships and workboats that came down the ways into Burrard Inlet. It also provides a glimpse of the early years of the twentieth century on the coast, when ships were not mere transportation but also an opportunity to fuse practical workmanship with aesthetics.

Book excerpt: The city of Vancouver means different things to different people, but it is as revered and beloved by its residents as it is by the millions of people who visit every year. It's a diverse, thrumming metropolis and a calm and beautiful recreation destination; it's a young city still striving for identity and a storied settlement rich in legend. And it has been both the inspiration and setting for some of Canada's most interesting fiction.Framed by an incisive introduction from West Coast literary doyen Douglas Coupland, the wide array of short fiction collected in Vancouver Stories reveals just how varied Vancouver really is. Discover this great city through the stories of Pauline Johnson and Emily Carr, through the eyes of such 20th-century literary giants as Alice Munro, Ethel Wilson and Malcolm Lowry, and through the words of more contemporary writers such as William Gibson, Timothy Taylor, Zsuzsi Gartner and Madeline Thien.Spanning a period of nearly 80 years, the 15 stories in this collection present the experience of Vancouver-living here, visiting or just passing through-filtered through the imaginations of some of Canada's most famous fiction stylists."Sooner or later, everyone in the country came to this city by the mountains and the sea. Some just to ogle, many to stay. People here liked it with something that bordered on religious fervour." -from "City of My Dreams" by Zsuzsi Gartner

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Suburb in the Making, West Vancouver Two years ago the settlers in our district were. Re garded as pioneers who scorned wealth and bore privation cheerfuly for love of beauty. Summer visitors to our shore felt that they had left lax behind, and set themselves to prove that they cool-9 endure the hardships of the wilderness with the fortitude of their forefathers The links with civilization were broken; there were no telephonm, no postman, and no railway trains. The water that they drank came from a stream in the forest; the strangers who met them on the road wished them good-day. Everything was primitive and barbarous. They returned to the city exultant; and, after the fashion of explorers, told strange tales of adventure to entertain th -ir friends. There they were assured of a respectful hearing, for it was generally known that the coast between Vancouver and Alaska was picturesque, and there were optimists even in those days who ventured to predict that, some day in the distant future. Iiollyburn would be a fashionable summer resort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
