The chapter on ice and light brings the region to life, swirling color, subtle shadings, ‘‘wondrous light’? and the depth of darkness, even the muffled swish and crackling of the aurora. It is the sky in the Arctic which blooms with color, pale green and soft roses, bruised purples and deep blues. Icebergs fascinate the author, He com- pares them to cathedrals because of the way their sharply-defined surfaces catch the light. The book is not only enthralled by the poetry and drama of the north. The writer is also very much aware of the dangers inherent in development in the area, and he gives scientific documentation to back up his concerns. The book is devoted to the land, but it also expresses the dreams of those who have sought the region in the past, the explorers, from sixth cen- tury monks and Elizabethan sailors to Cook and Peary, searching for the Pole. This is not only a fascinating book, it is an experience.

The collection has been edited by Vancouver writer Gary Geddes.

Gardner Johnson’s bleak and therefore heartrending account of the Van- couver Fire; Eugene Cloutier’s vivid response to the city; Eric Nichol’s romp, ‘‘First Province on the Left’’, Vancouver explained, to George Bowering’s **Vancouver Etude”’; bringing the city so acutely to eye and heart. If you know and love Vancouver, or if you want to express its many faces to a stranger, this is the book to browse in and revel in — a real celebra- tion.

Fish habitats TERRACE The Steihoe, Newtown, Hankin, Lowrie and Shannon creeks are all known as poor areas for fish habitat. These creeks have coarse, unstable bottoms and highly variable discharge rates. Other smaller creeks and side channels did provide some fish spawning areas, but the construction of the Grand Trunk highway in 1908-1912 caused the altering of these streams. In some cases all access to the Skeena River was cut off and these streams could no longer support ish. only *99” contestant in the Miss Terrace Review — Wednesday, July 30,1986 17 there next year on another program.
