Berry, Paul (editor); Rainier, Chris (photographer)
Keepers of the Spirit : Stories of Nature and Humankind
Unpaginated. "Chris Rainier's photographs are at once a forceful yet tender embrace of a changing world. Rainier is not naive; his work for humanitarian organizations on the front lines of starvation and civil war do not allow him that luxury. That this is not a collection of landscape photographs is significant. Stone will pass away. Wood will be consumed quickly. But people endure and their strength of will is belief incarnate." - from Introduction. Usual library markings. Average wear. Binding sound. Book

Kurelek, William
The Polish Canadians
56 pages. "The fifth and last series William Kurelek was able to complete on the peoples who built Canada, and Kurelek - as he tells us in his text - felt particularly close to the Polish Canadian experience because so much of it paralleled his own Ukrainian-Canadian background. Out of his manifold appreciation, he produced a series of 26 paintings that touch the heart, last in the memory and evoke new awareness for the contribution made by Polish Canadians to their adopted country." - from dust jacket. Average wear. Binding intact. Usual library markings. A sound copy of this typically marvelous Kurelek work. Book
