It reflected the fact that these young men had been sent to the colonies to spare their families continuing embarrassment or shame. At home they had been scoundrels, dreamers, and second sons without future prospects. Perhaps in...the Canadian West they would make something of themselves. If they didn't, at least they would be far enough away that little disgrace would fall upon their families. Mark ZuehlkeBeginning in 1880, thousands of young, upper-class British men with few prospects were sent to the Canadian West to distance them from British society. Still supported by their families, thus earning them the title remittance men, these men set out to continue their lives of leisure in this new land.With education, respectable breeding and the belief from birth that they were superior beings, the remittance men descended upon Western Canada with expectations of accomplishing something great and increasing their wealth. In reality, they hunted, played games, courted women, and enjoyed distinguished pursuits that squandered their parents' money and made hard-working Canadians raise their eyebrows.Though their era in Western Canada was short, 18801914, they left an indelible mark perpetuated by the stories and legends that sprung up around them.In Scoundrels, Dreamers & Second Sons, first published fifteen years ago, Mark Zuehlke traces the path of the remittance men through Western Canada, highlighting their adventures, limited successes and glorious failures.", "author": "Mark Zuehlke", "slug": "scoundrels-dreamers-amp-second-sons-561881-9781550177466-mark-zuehlke", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/cover_image/9781550177466.png", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "561881", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/561881/scoundrels-dreamers-amp-second-sons-561881-9781550177466-mark-zuehlke", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS006020" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781550177459", "EISBN13": "9781550177466", "EISBN10": "155017746X" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010015285717" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000561880", "attributes": { "name": "Made in British Columbia", "subtitle": "Eight Ways of Making Culture", "description": "<p>Is there such a thing as British Columbia culture, and if so, is there anything special about it? This is the broad question Dr. Maria Tippett answers in this work with an assured yes! To prove her point she looks at the careers of eight ground-breaking cultural producers in the fields of painting, aboriginal art, architecture, writing, theatre and music. The eight creative figures profiled in Made in British Columbia are not just distinguished artists who made an enduring mark on Canadian culture during the twentieth century. They are unique artists whose work is intimately interwoven with British Columbias identity.</p> <p>Emily Carr portrayed BCs coastal landscape in a manner as unique as her lifestyle. Bill Reids carvings, jewellery and sculpture stand as a contemporary interpretation of his reclaimed Haida heritage. The name Francis Rattenbury is less known than The Empress Hotel in Victoria, one of many prominent BC buildings he designed, while Arthur Ericksons modern architectural contributions are recognized worldwide. Martin Allerdale Graingers experience in the BC woods in the early days of hand-logging inspired him to write one of the undisputed classics of BC fiction, Woodsmen of the West. Jean Coulthard struggled for respect as a female composer during the 1920s and 1930s in British Columbia but eventually proved her extraordinary musical talents internationally. George Woodcock left Britain in 1949 to forge his career as an influential author, editor, mentor and tireless promoter of literary scholarship in the province, while playwright George Ryga, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, exposed the anguish and reality of life for Native women in our cities with his 1967 play, The Ecstasy of Rita Joe.</p> <p> Featuring images of the artists and their works, Made in British Columbia presents a history of the treasures found in our galleries, concert halls, theatres, museums, libraries and streetscapes, and explores the legacy of a cultural tradition as unique as the place that nurtured it.</p>", "author": "Maria Tippett", "slug": "made-in-british-columbia-561880-9781550177305-maria-tippett", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/cover_image/9781550177305.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "561880", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/561880/made-in-british-columbia-561880-9781550177305-maria-tippett", "bisac_codes": [ "BIO001000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781550177299", "EISBN13": "9781550177305", "EISBN10": "1550177303" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010015016172" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000561878", "attributes": { "name": "Light Years", "subtitle": "Memoir of a Modern Lighthouse Keeper", "description": "<p>In 2007, Caroline Woodward was itching for a change. With an established career in book-selling and promotion, four books of her own and having raised a son with her husband, Jeff, she yearned for adventure and to re-ignite her passion for writing. Jeff was tired of piecing together low-paying part-time jobs and, with Carolines encouragement, applied for a position as a relief lightkeeper on a remote North Pacific island. They endured lonely months of living apart, but the way of life rejuvenated Jeff and inspired Caroline to contemplate serious shifts in order to accompany him. When a permanent position for a lighthouse keeper became available, Caroline quit her job and joined Jeff on the lights.</p> <p>Caroline soon learned that the lighthouse-keeping life does not consist of long, empty hours in which to write. The reality is hard physical labour, long stretches of isolation and the constant threat of de-staffing. Beginning with a 3:30 a.m. weather report, the days are filled with maintaining the light station buildings, sea sampling, radio communication, beach cleanup, wildlife encounters and everything in between. As for dangerous rescue missions or dramatic shipwrecksthat kind of excitement is rare. So far the only life I know Ive saved is my own, she says, with her trademark dry wit. Yet Caroline is exhilarated by the scenic coastline with its drizzle and fog, seabirds and whales, and finds time to grow a garden and, as anticipated, write.</p> <p>Told with eloquent introspection and an eye for detail, Light Years is the personal account of a lighthouse keeper in twenty-first century British Columbiaan account that details Carolines endurance of extreme climatic, interpersonal and medical challenges, as well as the practical and psychological aspects of living a happy, healthy, useful and creative life in isolation.</p>", "author": "Caroline Woodward", "slug": "light-years-561878-9781550177282-caroline-woodward", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/cover_image/9781550177282.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "561878", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/561878/light-years-561878-9781550177282-caroline-woodward", "bisac_codes": [ "BIO026000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781550177275", "EISBN13": "9781550177282", "EISBN10": "1550177281" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010015285710" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000561879", "attributes": { "name": "Tide Rips and Back Eddies", "subtitle": "Bill Proctor's Tales of Blackfish Sound", "description": "<p>Billy Proctor, resident legend of Echo Bay, BC, recounts almost a centurys worth of experience with this collection of stories, memories and local knowledge of the central BC coast region around Blackfish Sound.

In 2004, when he crossed the street from CHEK to The New VI, it was an industry-wide sensation. As he recalls that life-changing event in this autobiography he admits he wasnt sure where his new path might lead. CHEK was established, respected and popular in Victoria, but its senior management had passed Mack over for promotion to news director, more than once. The New VI was high-budget and original, but hadnt exactly earned a reputation for professionalism, especially after one of its anchors dropped an F-bomb on the air. When New VI management offered Mack the chance to rebuild and lead its news department, he couldnt resist the chance to rescue the floundering news program and signed on.Ten years later, after revamping The New VI and leading it to success as A-Channel and then CTV, Mack left the station. Time is right for a change, he told dismayed viewers at the time. It was true; changes were happening, but theres more to the story, and in Hudson Mack, the broadcast veteran reveals the rest of the truth.And not just career-related truths. Theres more to Mack than what you see on TV, and in this memoir he shares his personal stories as well as his professional ones. He tours through some of the lighter moments of his life and careerfor example, the day of the royal visit, when Prince Philip put Macks wife Patty in a very awkward positionbut doesnt balk at sharing the tragedies, and also tells of his older brothers accidental shooting and the loss of his father and sister to cancer.Honest, unabridged and told with true journalistic integrity, Hudson Mack is a fix for those who miss Mack appearing on their TVs for the nightly newscast, and explains why he no longer does, at least for now.", "author": "Hudson Mack", "slug": "hudson-mack-561877-9781550177213-hudson-mack", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/cover_image/9781550177213.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "561877", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/561877/hudson-mack-561877-9781550177213-hudson-mack", "bisac_codes": [ "BIO026000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781550177206", "EISBN13": "9781550177213", "EISBN10": "1550177214" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010015093692" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000561876", "attributes": { "name": "Regeneration Machine", "subtitle": "", "description": "Twenty years ago Nevin Sample walked into a small bank in Deep Cove, robbed a teller at gunpoint and fled into the forest of Cates Park.

They test the line between honest humour and bitter reality in a sophisticated, incisive manner that tugs at the gut and feels true.The linguistic hopscotch of Czaga's poems about girlhood is often beautifully juxtaposed with feelings of menace or a first taste of smothering expectations\"She sits. She sips her bright pink fingers. / She slips into smart short haircuts, yes, / she does so, and does herself up just so.\" While her pin prick meditations on contemporary adulthood suggest a yearning for personal meaning and purpose on a larger scale\"I still wander, sometimes, / my coat closing the world out of my body, with pockets / full of garbage, with my slender steady want.

The last story, \"All This Was a Long Time Ago,\" is the 2014 winner of the Jack Hodgins Founders' Award for fiction from The Malahat Review, and other offerings from the collection have appeared in Event, The New Quarterly, Grain, Joyland, Forget Magazine and the Rusty Toque.Rader's command of tension is masterful in these dark, off-kilter stories that are largely set in the context of the working/labour class in and around the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, BC. They alternate between exploring the history of severe labour struggles in the area over a century ago, and the present-day experiences of people sliding through transitional, ambiguous moments in their relationships and sexuality. The juxtaposition of the two time periods seems to hint at the echoes of the harsh, violent legacy of the earlier age and its power struggles that continue to resonate in contemporary life.In What I Want to Tell Goes Like This, we are witness to the controversial shooting death of infamous union activist Albert \"Ginger\" Goodwin by a police constable in 1918; to the squalor of tent cities erected on the Royston Bay mudflats during the Great Vancouver Coal Strike of 1912-14; to two boys experimentation with sexual violence at the end of a secluded logging road; and to clarity and companionship found in a small cabin by the sea as a son cares for his dying fathera rough man who abandoned him when he was eight.
