Описание: Media for diasporic communities have emerged in major cities and reflect a multicultural, multiethnic, and multilingual reality. But do these media serve their respective communities exclusively, or are they available and accessible to members of greater society at large? Diasporic Media beyond the Diaspora explores structural and institutional challenges and opportunities for these media and suggests policy directions with the aim of fostering broader intercultural dialogue. Using case studies of Korean media in Vancouver and Los Angeles, Sherry Yu examines the potential of an intercultural media system for culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse societies.

The west coast region of Vancouver Island encompasses mountainous terrain, rainforest, mudflats, and ragged coastlines that bear the brunt of storms spawned by an immense ocean. Remote and inaccessible to birders until well into the twentieth century, the rugged beauty of this “wild west coast,” attracts visitors from far and wide. And it also boasts a distinctive avian population that has made it one of Canada’s premier bird-watching destinations.
The Birds of Vancouver Island’s West Coast is the essential guide to the region’s birds. It presents accounts of all of the species thus far recorded as occurring there – 360 in total – and updates the 231 species recorded up to 1978. Each account includes a brief introduction to the species and an overview of its total range. Key to the book’s detailed and authoritative accounts are first-hand observations and anecdotes recorded by the author over more than forty years. By far the most detailed and up-to-date account of the birds of this region, this book will inform, delight, and surprise amateur and professional birders alike.

Описание: A fascinating pictorial history of North Vancouver city and district in British Columbia, covering over 90 locations scattered around the length and breadth of the region. Packed with old and new photos, this book takes readers on a light-hearted tour of North Vancouvers past. Its not just another local-history book. Its an experience in time travel! Youll stop at over 90 sites, scattered around the length and breadth of the city and district. Sometimes you arrive at a site in the past, and jump to the present. Or you might arrive in the present and travel back in time. Imagine walking by the seashore along a lovely tree-lined pedestrian promenade a century ago; today finds you dodging heavy traffic in a modern commercial district. Or perhaps youre staying in a first-class hotel far up the Capilano Valley in the early 1900s; fast-forward to the present and youre underwater behind a dam. Or stand in a quiet neighbourhood and see in your mind the large, noisy, lumber mill that used to be here. Whats great is you dont have to start at the beginning of the book. Plunge-in anywhere. Flip pages forward or back. A wonderful gift for both young and old. Enjoy it lounging around home -- or take it to actual North Vancouver sites and compare past and present for yourself. This is the updated second edition.
