GREATER VANCOUVER, From The Air / Von Oben: A Cariaga Book by Hajo Hadeler, is a collection of aerial photographs over Vancouver, with an English/German text. This RARE book was truly a labour of love, because it was written, photographed and translated into German by Hajo Hadeler himself, for his Philippine-born wife and publisher, Presita Cariaga.
"Almost everybody who lives in the Lower Mainland is from somewhere else," Hadeler says, "so we came up with a book that will be ideal to send 'home' from Vancouver, wrapped, perhaps, in a little pride-of-place."
The decision to provide a dual English/German text was made because more than ten percent of the Lower Mainland population has roots in Austria, Switzerland or Germany. The multi-lingual husband-and-wife team hope to continue publishing books in different languages. Previously Whitecap Books of North Vancouver has been the only B. C. publisher to target foreign language markets.
