A new marine weather manual, includes the Strait of Georgia, the Gulf Islands, the San Juan Islands, Juan de Fuca Strait, and surrounding areas.
ANNOTATION: This book is a guide to the weather patterns along all parts of the British Columbia coast during all seasons of the year. It is an essential reference for coastal British Columbia residents whose daily activities are affected by weather, air pilots who fly in coastal British Columbia, and the tens of thousands of boaters from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California who cruise or fish coastal British Columbia waters, one of North America's most popular boating destinations.
"A Game to Play on the Tracks" is the story of booze-loose and too-smart singer, Arden, and her failed return to the life of country music and the British Columbia bar scene. She has a new baby, some unhealed hurts, and a husband, Nichol, who is stuck in boyhood and thinks and talks in bad poems. Arden doesn't survive the road, and the story belongs then to Nichol and Roy the Boy, those left behind to search the west coast for a good home, a good life, a meaningful history. Without Arden, Nichol tries a series of goofed-up love affairs and real estate blunders, and Roy grows up questioning a fallen pastoral world that isn't always kind to children, haunted by his long-gone mother and her big-city tunes.

The US was in the midst of the Depression when Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) began documenting its impact through depictions of unemployed men on the streets of San Francisco. Her success won the attention of Roosevelt's Resettlement Administration (later the Farm Security Administration), and in 1935 she started photographing the rural poor under its auspices. One day in Nipomo, California, Lange recalled, she "saw and approached [a] hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet." The woman's name was Florence Owens Thompson, and the result of their encounter was seven exposures, including Migrant Mother. Curator Sarah Meister's essay provides a fresh context for this iconic work.
