Barefoot Channel: Community Television As a Tool for… di Kim Goldberg
From the guerrilla video squads of the 1960s to the slicker but more conventional programming today, Barefoot Channel traces the history of community access television and proposes a future direction. The author—a former Shaw Cable employee and programmer—argues that control of the community channel system must be returned to the citizenry as originally envisioned to foster democratic communications as a bulwark against increasingly centralized media.
A 175-page, full-colour field guide to 50 wildlife-watching hot spots on Vancouver Island. Complete with index, checklists, maps and calendar.
This is a collection of 66 poems modeled after the 66-move sequence of a 1,000-year-old martial art from China known as Liuhebafa. The book concludes with 30 pages of endnotes in which the author decodes the Taoist metaphysical symbolism of the 66 ancient titles (e.g., "Stop Cart and Ask Directions ", "Hold Horse At Cliff") . This information has never before been systematically presented in English.
A 150-page compendium of poems, prose, journal entries, graffiti and photographs reconstructing a landscape of cutural decay inhabited by the homeless population of Nanaimo, British Columbia, but by extension all our cities.
