Liquid Gold, By John Calvert

Secure, reliable and affordable electricity has been one of BC's most important competitive advantages and key contributor to the province's prosperity. Calvert shows how the government is supplanting BC's successful public system with a deregulated private sector model that will enrich private power developers and undermine BC's ability to control future energy development. 258 pages (6" x 9") Paperback

*Picturing Transformation, Nexw-áyantsut, Nancy Bleck, Katherine Dodds and Chief Bill Williams*

$39.95

This is the story of the Uts'am Witness Project, which happened over a span of ten years as thousands of people – artists, loggers, government officials, environmentalists, tourists, youth at risk, families and children – made the journey from Vancouver to Sims Creek in the Elaho Valley. These weekend journeys to threatened wilderness areas, hosted by Squamish Nation Hereditary Chief Bill Williams, telasemkin-siyam, brought people into direct contact with nature; with Squamish stories, dance, games, art, and opportunities to hear from elders, scientists, conservationists, and artists from native and non-native traditions.

Through the words and photos of those who ventured to "Wild Spirit Places", this beautiful book pays homage to the power that people with strong vision and a common purpose can have in honouring tradition, safeguarding land and changing policy.
