Around the Sound, a History of Howe Sound/Whistler by Doreen Armitage, published by Harbour Publishing, 2001 (240 pp., PB, $24.95). How did a carving of a jade monkey, thought to have come from China, wind up in Howe Sound? Did early Asians visit our land? Readers will soon know they are in the capable hands of a historian who specializes in natural history. Her book is peopled with graphic characters and dotted with intriguing questions like this one.
From the original Coast Salish and Squamish First Nations people who may have arrived 9,000 years ago, to the far more recent arrival of settlers, she spans the "sea to sky" landscape with a practiced eye and a liberal sprinkling of characters you'll want to meet.
