5.0 out of 5 stars Best introduction to natural history of this province, May 7, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: British Columbia: A Natural History (Hardcover)
British Columbia is Canada's most biologically diverse province. If you want a great introduction then there is no better book than this award winning volume. Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learning about the big picture of BC ecology, April 18, 2003
By 
Anthony Bell (Rossland BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
As a newcomer to BC I found the style and flow of this book a great help in understanding the diversity of BC landscape and ecology. The book give enough detail and titbits to interest me yet avoids being a reference text bogged down with numbers and latin names.

In tandem with another of Cannings' books, Geology of British Columbia: A journey through time, a good level of understanding of the factors contributing to how BC is today can be gained by the general reader, who may not necessarily be 'scientifically' learned.

I think that both of these books would have benefited from the addition of larger maps, perhaps as a fold out section.
