註釋In Country Roads of British Columbia, Liz Bryan explores and celebrates the amazing landscapes and traces the early history of Canada's westernmost province. Through 18 picturesque country journeys, mostly in the Interior between the Rockies and the Coast Mountains, she takes readers through some of the most diverse and beautiful scenery in the country. British Columbia has everything: forests, rivers, lakes, grasslands, alpine peaks, sagebrush plateaus, desert valleys and badlands. This diversity can be explained in part by the province's remarkable geological history: it is not one land, but several, formed over time by unstoppable tectonic forces andmodified by volcanic activity and glacial ice. Much of the human history of the province, which closely follows the patterns of its geology, can be discovered along the network of roads stitching the province together. Traces of the Native peoples' ancestral presence are found, along with those of the fur traders, explorers, gold miners, ranchers and homesteaders who settled here. In both her text and her full-color photographs, Bryan demonstrates just how beautiful British Columbia truly is.
