TALES OF THE TREES
Beneath its bark every tree has secrets that have been hidden away for hundreds, even thousands of years. Each tree species has its own unique makeup. We humans have taken advantage of this.
Tales of the Trees is a treasure house of tree secrets. Discover how trees were used for magic and medicine, the best tree for making a stake to drive into the heart of a vampire, which tree sheltered a queen and 100 horsemen.
All of the trees named in this book can be found on the Riverview Lands, western Canada’s first Botanical Garden.
THE RIVERVIEW LANDS
Published by the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society, this book gives a history of the hospital and its lands, together with memories of people who have tended the lands and valued their influence on the patients, staff and visitors.
It covers the ecology of the lands and identifies and describes the tree species to be found there.
Each section has been contributed by the leading expert at the time of writing.
IN TE CONTEXT OF ITS TIME
What to do with people who have a mental illness and later, with people who have a mental handicap? This question has faced governments around the world. This book covers the history of British Columbia’s care throughout the years from the time of its first settlers to the closing of its first hospital dedicated to their care in 1996.
Well illustrated and anecdotal, this is a thorough but readable book.
