520    The Real Thing is the first official biography of Ian 
       McTaggart Cowan (1910-2010), the "father of Canadian 
       ecology." Authorized by his family and with the research 
       support and participation of the University of Victoria 
       Libraries, Briony Penn provides an unprecedented and 
       accessible window into the story of this remarkable 
       naturalist. From his formative years roaming the mountains
       around Vancouver looking for venison to his last years 
       finishing the voluminous and authoritative Birds of 
       British Columbia, Cowan's life provides a unique 
       perspective on a century of environmental change--with a 
       critical message for the future. As the head and founder 
       of the first university-based wildlife department in 
       Canada, Ian McTaggart Cowan revolutionized the way North 
       Americans understood the natural world, and students 
       flocked into his classrooms to hear his brilliant, 
       entertaining lectures regarding the new science of 
       ecology. His television programs in the 1950s and '60s, 
       Fur and Feathers, The Web of Life and The Living Sea, made
       him a household name around the world. He was also 
       responsible for hiring a young David Suzuki, who followed 
       in his nature-show-host footsteps. Illustrated throughout 
       with colour and black-and-white photos from all aspects of
       Cowan's life, The Real Thing takes the reader on an 
       adventurous and inspirational journey through the heart of
       North American ecology, wilderness, landscape and wonder.
