The Inverted Pyramid
Bertrand W. Sinclair's The Inverted Pyramid, a best-seller when it was first published in 1924, appears now for the first time in a new edition. Writing in the period from 1908 onwards, Sinclair published over fifteen novels, some of which sold in the hundreds of thousands. In The Inverted Pyramid, which critics often cite as his most ambitious novel, he explores Canada's drift during WWI from a world of production to one based on finance, with all the attendant problems we are still enduring today. The novel offers a colourful account of British Columbia during this time through the history of two brothers - Rod and Grove Norquay - who belong to an old BC family. Grove, the older brother, takes the family's assets and invests them in finance - with disastrous consequences. As the world declines into a depression, Rod is forced to liquidate much of his family's timber holdings, but he remains hopeful that he and family, working with their own hands, will be able to make a good life for themselves - even as the rest of the world totters into the horrors of modernity.

Big Timber A Story Of The Northwest
The book "Big Timber: A Story of the Northwest" is thrilling and endearing. The story probably focuses on the struggles and exploits that people in the wood sector confront while delving into issues like resource depletion, logging industry dynamics, and the effects of human activity on the environment. Given the location, the book might offer an insight into the life of loggers, lumberjacks, and other people employed in the timber trade at a time when the sector was vital to the development of the local economy and culture. Adventure, romance, and possibly conflicts involving the exploitation of natural resources are all possible story points. All things considered, "Big Timber" probably gives readers a clear picture of the untamed landscapes of the Northwest and the people whose lives are entwined with the chances and difficulties brought about by the timber industry.

Big Timber
Only the strong could survive logging in the vast forests of British Columbia, where two honest timbermen battled an amoral greedy rival in a business with great potential for profit -- but bosses and workers paid a high price in extreme isolation, primitive living conditions and hazardous work. Stella Benton, an impoverished but gently reared young woman trapped in brother Charlie's rough lumber camp, added fuel to the already volatile mix. Big Jack Fyfe, Charlie's neighbor and friend, offered Stella escape from the camp in a loveless marriage along with prosperity and respectability. Then unforeseen tragedy, bad market conditions, tinder-dry forests, and Walter Monahan's vicious vendetta threaten to destroy them all.
