Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies
Wayne Lynch
Finalist: 2010 Banff Mountain Book
Festival
Summerthought is proud to present the
amazing
images of
Dr.
Wayne Lynch,
one
of the world’s pre-eminent wildlife photographers.
Few
destinations in the world match the Canadian Rockies for its combination
of dazzling mountain scenery and abundance of wildlife. Bighorn sheep,
elk, moose, deer, and black bears are seen by many visitors, often from
the comfort of their vehicles. Other species, such as owls, cougars, and
grizzly bears, are also present, but are more secretive and rarely seen.
Printed in Canada by Friesens, Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies
maintains the high standards of production the images of Wayne Lynch
deserve while remaining an affordable product for locals and visitors
alike.
Aside from
holding the
most comprehensive collection of Canadian Rockies wildlife images ever published,
Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies
offers:
VALUE FOR MONEY:
Other Canadian Rockies
pictorial wildlife
books sell for up to $35.
UNALTERED IMAGES:
Photos used in
Wildlife of the
Canadian Rockies
have not been manipulated in any way. The colours may not be as saturated
as other photo books, but we believe the
wildlife is
stunning exactly as
it
appears
in real life.
INTERESTING CAPTIONS:
Each image is accompanied by an informative caption. Rather than simply
describing the photos, the
text
provides
an insight into the
wildlife of the Canadian
Rockies.
COLOUR
MAP:
A
photo-illustrated map at the front of the book puts the Canadian Rockies
into perspective.
INDEX:
Unlike most
pictorial
books, we included an Index, allowing readers to easily find their way to
images of their favourite animals and birds.
PRINTED
IN CANADA:
On the
dust jacket
of
every book is a distinctive red maple leaf stamp declaring the book “Made
in Canada.” All Summerthought books are proudly printed in Canada. It’s
more expensive
than
having it done offshore, but we feel it’s the right thing to do.
