Haida Gwaii: The Queen Charlotte Islands

David Allinson is the president of the Rocky Point Bird Observatory in Victoria, B.C.

Lying off the northern coast of British Columbia, the Queen Charlotte
Islands or “Haida Gwaii” have long held a mystique for their
remoteness, history, and rich biodiversity. Designed as a recreational
guide, Haida Gwaii covers a wide range of topics. Well-researched
sections on natural history, parks and reserves, accommodations, trip
planning, and local history are just some of the topics covered. More
than 80 black-and-white photographs, 23 color shots, and 14 maps enhance
the text. A nice touch is a chapter devoted to biographies of 10 very
different island residents, rounding out the human experience amid the
natural landscape of the islands.

Well written and user-friendly, Haida Gwaii is highly recommended for
anyone planning to visit this beautiful archipelago.
