Genius of Place combines history, landscape, politics and culture in an astonishing portrait of B.C. The essays, journals, memoirs and sketches of the 30 contributors span two centuries and are as complex and diverse as their subject. Included are works from explorer Simon Fraser, naturalist Roderick Haig-Brown, memoirist Muriel Kitigawa, social commentator George Woodcock, architect Arthur Erikson, humourists Eric Nicol, and many more.
