BC Studies no. 184 Winter 2014-2015

The articles in this issue touch down variously in Creston Flats in the East Kootenay; in the Treaty 8 Territory of the Fort Nelson First Nation; in Vancouver, Victoria, and Prince George; and in the aptly named False Creek near the heart of the provincial metropolis. Compounding the variety and emphasizing the diversity of this vast province, our review essay features books set in South Langley in the Fraser Valley, Boswell on the east shore of Kootenay Lake, and Ginty Creek south of Anahim Lake in the West Chilcotin. We have the province covered from its northeastern to its southern corners, east and west; from the boreal forest to the temperate south coast; from the Peace River to the Kootenay River; and institutionally from the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality to the False Creek Residents Association. Our authors also represent a tangle of disciplines, from history, through environmental studies, Indigenous governance, law, and business to psychiatry, psychology, and public health.
