279 pages including index. Bill Vander Zalm's ascent to the premiership of British Columbia in July 1986 is one of the most remarkable political resurrections in Canadian history. Some people may have thought his political future was non-existent, and there were doubts about his chances for the Socred leadership right up to the evening of July 29, 1986. What does Bill Vander Zalm's record tell us, exactly?

"Vancouver has experienced many dramatic changes since its beginnings on the edge of the frontier. Once an almost inaccessible logging town, it has grown to be a major North American urban centre, and a jewel of the Pacific Rim. Within a mere century, it has metamorphosed from a little ventured rainforest to a thriving and cosmopolitan metropolis. This book tells the extraordinary story of that coming of age. 150 striking images, carefully reproduced, capture Vancouver in every phase of its growth. See the boomtown created by the coming of the railway. The land of mansions and motor car bought by the Roaring Twenties. The lean city of the Depression and the war years. The scene of intense urban expansion since the fifties. An entertaining chronicle, this Vancouver photo history is essential for every visitor and resident. ". 111 pages, b&w photos.
