All the contributions, large and small, are received with deep gratitude (tears aren't far away when a girl gives the babysitting money she's just earned) as they prove how many people are anxious to see the new library built. The magnanimous gesture of the Aquanauts in giving $5,000 was a special boost to the energies and spirits of the fundraisers.

Bennett was fond of boasting of B.C. as “God's country.” But then he could; he had travelled the province's width and breadth as premier and knew its natural wonders. Now, those of us who haven't had the chance to visit Vancouver Island’s westernmost reaches or seen the sun set on B.C.'s northern border get a glimpse of those special places in Tim Fitzharris’s new book, British Columbia Wild — A Natural History. Fitzharris's book is filled with glorious color photographs of lush green forests, sparkling shorelines and intimate portraits of wildlife. The close-up shot of the wolf spider making a home in a coastal tree is so real it's frightening. But the book isn't your typical coffee-table edition. It is actually a natural history lesson wrapped in the cloak of fantastic photography. The book presents B.C.’s wilderness in an easily understood manner, describing the amazing variations of landscapes (from grasslands, to rain forest to near. tundra). It also explains the ecology of each of the province's diverse life zones and relates the fascinating life histories of animals that roam the vast wilderness regions. Fitzharris is one of the leading wildlife photogra- phers today. (He is the only photgrapher to claim four Audobon magazine covers in a single year.) The book contains several photographs of the Kootenays, including one of Coffee Creek spilling into Kootenay Lakes, an Osprey with a catfish in the Creston Valley, and kokanee spawning. The book comes with several maps showing the topography, and life zones. And that is perhaps where the only minor complaint arises. One map showing the province's highways lists Highway 3 as a “minor highway,” while Highway 97 from Fort St. John to the B.C./Yukon border gets a “major highway” rating. COFFEE-TABLE BOOKS A Christmas sampling By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press As regular as the first snow of winter, a new array of those big, glossy coffee-table books is piling up on book store shelves to tempt the Christmas shopper looking for gifts exotic and memorable. This year’s sampling ranges in geography from China to Ireland and the cities of Ottawa and Vancouver; in subject matter from Expo 86 to Canadian nostalgia and a portfolio by North America’s finest wildlife artists. China — The Long March: Said to have cost $1 million to produce, with the government of China as co-publisher, it is the most thrilling of this season's output with hundreds of often breath-taking color photos by scores of international photographers. With an extensive text by Anthony Lawrence, the BBC's Asia correspondent, it retraces the legendary long march of 1936 when the Red Army, along with many women and children, set out on a 9,600-kilometre retreat to escape annihilation by the Nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-shek. The book is packed with full-page photos that capture lush green fields, churning rivers, smoky mountaintops, moonlit bays. But best of all are the faces of China — piercing, full-face portraits and pictures of Chinese peasants at work dyeing indigo cloth, playing cards in teahouses, washing vegetables in a river or at worship. Published by Merehurst Press of London, it is distributed in North America by Cupress of Toronto, has 320 pages and costs $59.95. From the Wild: Wildlife artists, sometimes scorned by connoisseurs and “serious” artists, have in recent years been erying all the way to the bank. Nowadays, collecting big-name wildlife artists has become something of a rich man’s game, with original works sometimes fetching $50,000 to $100,000. Many individual artists have produced books of their art but now Christopher Hume, art critic for the Toronto Star, has brought together in one volume works representative of the best of North America’s artists in this field. It's a handsome book, including 95 pages of color reproductions that range from animal and bird life to field-and-stream scenes by Lanford Monroe and under-sea art by Stanley Meltzoff. Canadians represented include Robert Bateman, probably the most successful wildlife artist today, Montrealer Claudio D'Angelo, Fenwick Lansdowne with his exquisite, pinpoint-sharp bird portraits, and Glen Loates, perhaps best known for his magnificent Siberian Tiger painted in 1984 Published by Summerhill Press, it is 192 pages and priced at $50 Vanishing Ireland: The brightest, breeziest thing about this book is the humorous introduction by novelist Edna O'Brien. With her love-hate relationship with her native country, O'Brien nicely sets the stage for the rather sombre photos that follow — NOTICE — Annual General Meeting of the Castlegar Co-operative Transportation Society Jan. 5'87 —7p.m. In the Board Room All Members Are Urged to Attend As the title implies, Richard Fitzgerald’s camera has focused mainly on the remnants of an Ireland that is disappearing. The mostly black-and-white photos picture crumbling stone cottages, women in frayed black shawls, donkey carts and weather-worn roadside shrines. There's a terrible beauty about the misty mountains and the huddled bodies which, with an almost biblical aura, move along rain-swept roads. “It's a land where the attachment to home and hearths is as deep and binding as the longings to escape it,” writes O'Brien. Distributed by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, it is 135 pages, $29.95. Times to Remember: Subtitled A Canadian Photo Album, this is a nostalgic look at the last 50 years of Canadian life and the personalities and events that brought tears and laughter, excitement and foolishness. Through 190 black-and-white snapshots it captures images of the Depression — the unemployed huddled beneath a billboard depicting a steak dinner, the infant Dionne quintuplets, wartime flappers and the D-Day Normandy invasion. The text by Knowlton Nash of CBC-TV's The National strikes an evocative chord to go with photos of Terry Fox and Steve Fonyo, a young Princess Elizabeth square dancing, pianist Glenn Gould, high-jumper Greg Joy in victory, Rene Levesque in defeat and mass murderer Clifford Olson in prison. Published by Key Porter, it is 192 pages, $24.95. A Day im the Life of America: the-best -ef the Day in the Life of . books that earlier captured shimmering images of Hawaii, Australia, Canada and Japan. This volume was also created by a team of international photographers assigned to snap the United States on one day — May 2, 1986.
