Calgary, AB, Canada Rocky Mountain Books 2006 1894765788 / 9781894765787 First Edition Hard Cover
Artist and photographer Glen Boles has climbed extensively all over North America and in Europe, but his first love is the Canadian Rockies, where he has summited over 450 peaks, often by a difficult new route. Many were first ascents. Over the years Glen has become familiar with all facets of climbing, from expedition climbing to mountain rescue.
Boles' interest in photography and drawing has enriched his mountain experiences and made him well known throughout the North American climbing community. Although his work has appeared in many publications, this is the first book devoted totally to his black-and-white art

Copeland, Kathy & Craig Heading Outdoors Eventually Leads Within
Canmore, AB, Canada hikingcamping.com 2010 0978342763 / 9780978342760 First Hardcover New
"Everyone walks. What distinguishes hikers is that walking does more than transport us, it transforms us. But nowhere is the thoughtful undercurrent of hiking celebrated. The wisdom we glean from the wilds is a match lit in the rain. That's why we created this book: to cup our hands around the flame. These journal entries are the mental waypoints we recorded while hiking 30,000 miles / 48,280 km (more than the circumference of the Earth) through wildlands worldwide. Accompanying them are photos of the places (primarily the Canadian Rockies, Utah canyon country, and New Zealand) where we conceived and noted the initial ideas. We hope our words and images compel you to recognize, voice, own and honour the thoughts arising from within while heading outdoors. Doing so will deepen your fulfillment. A truly adventurous life is contemplative as well as vigourous." 96 pages, full colour illustrations.

Summerthought is proud to present the amazing images of Dr. Wayne Lynch, one of the world’s pre-eminent wildlife photographers. Few destinations in the world match the Canadian Rockies for its combination of dazzling mountain scenery and abundance of wildlife. Bighorn sheep, elk, moose, deer, and black bears are seen by many visitors, often from the comfort of their vehicles. Other species, such as owls, cougars, and grizzly bears, are also present, but are more secretive and rarely seen. Printed in Canada by Friesens, Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies maintains the high standards of production the images of Wayne Lynch deserve while remaining an affordable product for locals and visitors alike. Aside from holding the most comprehensive collection of Canadian Rockies wildlife images ever published, Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies offers: UNALTERED IMAGES: Photos used in Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies have not been manipulated in any way. The colours may not be as saturated as other photo books, but we believe the wildlife is stunning exactly as it appears in real life. INTERESTING CAPTIONS: Each image is accompanied by an informative caption. Rather than simply describing the photos, the text provides an insight into the wildlife of the Canadian Rockies. COLOUR MAP: A photo-illustrated map at the front of the book puts the Canadian Rockies into perspective. INDEX: Unlike most pictorial books, we included an Index, allowing readers to easily find their way to images of their favourite animals and birds. Dr. Wayne Lynch is Canada's best known and most widely published wildlife photographer. His photo credits include hundreds of magazine covers, thousands of calendar shots, and tens of thousands of images published in 50 countries. He is also the author and photographer of a dozen highly acclaimed natural history books for adults and nearly 40 books published for children and young adults. His books have been described as "a magical combination of words and images."
