RCN Media, Alberniology is a colourful collection of fiction, poetry and non-fiction—showcased with the photography of Chris Hancock Donaldson—that celebrates the uniqueness and diversity of the Alberni Valley and the people who call it home.From float houses down the Alberni Inlet, Sasquatch encounters, 50-pound chinooks and Mars water bombers, to Sproat Lake, Cathedral Grove and rainforest splendour, the writing in this book captures the raw beauty of the land and the spirit of its inhabitants.The authors and publisher have agreed to forego royalties and profits and donate them to the Alberni Valley Hospice Society, which provides support, education and advocacy to individuals and their families facing life-limiting illness, death and bereavement.
