Rob Wood’s book At Home In Nature: A Life of Unknown Mountains and Deep Wilderness is the compelling story of a family’s life among the rugged landscapes of BC’s Coast Mountains, converting youthful ideals, raw land and a passion for the outdoors into a practical off-grid homestead. Rob grew up on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors, where he developed a preoccupation with rock climbing. After studying architecture at the London Architectural Association School, he moved to Montreal and then Calgary, where he became a pioneer of ice climbing and posted numerous first ascents in the Rockies during the 1970’s.

During this session, we will review the eBook concept, the different type/format of eBooks, capabilities, some of the eReaders available on the market and some of the applications used to access eBooks.  We will also provide websites where can you find eBooks.

Instructor Nancy Côté, library technician who has been reading eBooks for 10 years.
