"Congratulations to you and David Blevins on a fine accomplishment." ~ Jack Christie - columnist with the Georgia Strait "I wish we'd had [this book] when we studied natural history 70 years ago" - Edgar Dunning, Delta Optimist "The author’s fondness for her subject is shown most clearly in her writing, which is very accessible, even to those lacking expertise in natural history.....What makes this book a very handsome addition to one's library, is the photography of David Blevins, who has an inventive eye for grand vistas, tiny subjects and everything in between. Were you to move away from this part of the world you would want the collection of images in this book to remind you of your favourite former stomping grounds and natural moments" Hugh Griffith in Menziesia, Native Plant Society of British Columbia, Feb. 2007 more>> www.npsbc.org ".... a valuable guide to a biologically rich and unique region of B.C....." - Discovery, the journal of Nature Vancouver (Nature Vancouver) |

What the reviewers say:
"Tracing Our Past: A Heritage Guide to Boundary Bay is an outstanding
collaboration by historian Anne Murray of Tsawwassen and
photographer David Blevins. Their beautifully produced book explores
the evolution of a "remarkable landscape and the people who
transformed it".......
[It is] a cogent exploration of what came before and a cautionary guide
to what is yet to be. This important book, graced with a fine collection of

environmentally responsible. Put simply, it is a love song to the land we
are privileged to call home."
