Step on the plush grass and wriggle your toes in the dirt; does it get more down-to-earth than that? This summer, there’s ample opportunity to cozy up alongside Mother Nature, thanks to Alison Parkinson’s Parks and Nature Places Around Vancouver (Harbour Publishing, $24.95). This easy-to-use guide provides details on over 60 parks and includes travel info for taking public transit—talk about going green! Available at local bookstores.—Shirley Hsu
