In a blend of history and humour, this light-hearted take on the concrete and stone statuaries of the Vancouver area is a delightful collection of photographs and factual anecdotes. Highlighting the absurd and shining new appreciation on the lawn ornamentation and public pieces that gaze at us as we commute and explore through the concrete jungle. Focusing on sculptures, structures, and materials common to the area through musings and photographs. This book also celebrates the aptly named Vancouver Specials, the very homes that anchored generations of diverse citizens, many with concrete representations of their global influences out front, standing on guard for thee.
