Yorath (formerly with the Geological Survey of Canada on Vancouver Island) takes the reader behind the beauty of Vancouver Island to reveal the violent tectonic plate, volcanic and glacial activity that formed the landscape. The text is organized as a virtual road trip from Victoria to Long Beach. This revised edition features new sites in the Cowichan Valley, Nanoose Peninsula, Alberni Valley and Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Distributed in the US by Graphic Arts Center Publishing.
