Society of Crows
by Robert W. Butler
The crows’ intelligence, sagacity, and penchant to interact with humans has captivated human imaginations for decades. Yet only a few people have had the opportunity or motivation to devote much of their life to trying to understand them. A lifelong sojourn for Robert Butler all began with a pet crow he fostered as a teenager. From that auspicious moment, Butler watched and listened to crows in remote coastal locations of British Columbia and Alaska, and the suburbs near Vancouver to reveal a story like no other. With humour and scientific insight the Society of Crows will charm and surprise you. Illustrated by original artwork by the author, the book is partly a biographical adventure to uncover new discoveries of the coastal dwelling crow in British Columbia.

The Dorchesters
Four Generations and 100 Years in West Vancouver by Frank Robert Carleton Dorchester
Every family has a story, and this is the story of the last four generations of my family . . . So begins The Dorchesters—a remarkable story about a remarkable family. Told from the perspective of Frank, part of the third generation, it chronicles the arrival of his grandparents in Canada, their early lives in Vancouver, and the lives of his own parents, concluding with an account of his life and the lives of his two children. Part memoir, part non-fiction narrative—and interwoven with humorous anecdotes and a dash of mystery—the book uses the story of the Dorchesters to illustrate more broadly the immigrant experience in Canada, the history of Vancouver and its environs, and the complexity of love and family over four generations. Steeped in research and richly complemented with historical photographs, The Dorchesters takes readers on a journey through time and across continents—and into the legacy of family, history, and a very special part of Canada.

Since Eric Arthur’s 1964 publication of Toronto, No Mean City, no book has provided such deep insight into a community as Flemingdon Park, No Mean Neighbourhood. From prehistory to the arrival of Indigenous peoples, European settlers, the simple ribbon-cutting ceremony in 1961 marking the neighbourhood’s official opening, and up to the present day, Edward Brown explores various topics, including history, architecture, politics, and most importantly, the people who continue to shape this unique and diverse community. Tireless research, combined with masterful storytelling, vividly brings the history of a Toronto neighbourhood to life in Flemingdon Park, No Mean Neighbourhood.
