Haida Gwaii Journeys Through The Queen Charlotte Islands

Bill Reid once called Haida Gwaii, or the Queen Charlotte Islands, the "Shining Islands." In this beautiful illustrated travelogue, Ian Gill and David Nunuk show just why these fabled, stormswept islands on Canada's western edge have fascinated and enchanted people for thousands of years. Join Gill and Nunuk on a voyage through an ecosystem so extraordinary that it is known as "Canada's Galapagos." It is also home to a great people, the Haida, who have created more than 400 cultural sites. This is an extraordinary place where, in Gill's words, "the voices are loud, the characters vividly drawn, the wildlife abundant and exotic, the geography surreal, the history bloody." From the team that created the bestselling Hiking on the Edge, this completely updated second edition of one of Raincoast's most popular Journeys books includes 70 full-colour photographs.
