Huck, Barbara. (Author). Henderson, Heidi. (Added Author). Torrens, Philip. (Added Author).

Summary: "Once, parts of British Columbia lay on the far side of the Pacific. Once, its ancient seacoasts were inhabited by creatures on the threshold of evolution. Once, it was populated by some of Canada's first peoples. Today, B.C. is one of the world's most geographically varied places. But clues to its ancient past are everywhere, in its mountains and arid valleys, along it lakeshores and seacoasts. For the first time, the geological, paleontological and archaeological wonders of southern B.C. are gathered on one place. With hundred of color photographs, maps and drawings, In Search of Ancient British Columbia presents an accessible, route-oriented aproach to today's time travellers, creating an indispensable guide to the forces that have shaped the spirit of the land."--Publisher, back cover.
