To mark this year's Centennial of the City of North Vancouver, geographer and cultural planning consultant Warren Sommer has compiled a wide-ranging social history of the North Shore that has evolved from Moodyville to accommodate more than 125,000 people today, The Ambitious City (Harbour $44.95). The City of North Vancouver has 45,000 residents but Sommer's survey includes the District of North Van, as well.
