Rocky Mountain Books Converging Waters: The Beauty and Challenges of
Book SynopsisStunning photography and personal reflections abound in this beautiful collection of images highlighting this unique landscape.Converging Waters explores an area on the northern coast of Vancouver Island on the edge of the Broughton Archipelago: Queen Charlotte Strait, Broughton Strait, Cormorant Channel, Blackfish Sound. This part of the Namgis First Nation territory is characterized by tree-covered islands, pebble beaches, foggy mornings, rocky islets, orcas, eagles, and an ever-changing light. Boats are at least as important as trucks for the few who live here. The sea and sky dominate the land, and marine mammals and fish seem to overshadow the human residents.Daniel Hillert's inspiring photographs focus on the wild essence that still permeates these converging waters, while Gwen Curry's prose dives beneath the surface to appreciate not only the natural wonder of this place but its history, people, and present-day challenges.

Goose Lane Editions Halifax Harbour 1918 / Le port d'Halifax 1918:
Book SynopsisTwo wartime artists, one bustling harbour, and a city ravaged by the Halifax Explosion. Two perspectives on Halifax one year after the Explosion.A year after the city was devastated by the Halifax Explosion Harold Gilman (British, 1876–1919) and Arthur Lismer (Canadian, 1885–1969) were working in Halifax as war artists. Both commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials Fund to record the war activity on the home front, the two men struck up a friendship and worked side-by-side on occasion.Gilman seemed to wipe clean the desolation of the Explosion, ignoring the site of a human-made catastrophe in favour of a glowing landscape. In contrast, Lismer, a member of the Group of Seven, recorded the port’s activity up close, producing a series of drawings and paintings of camouflaged battleships embedded in the Maritime landscape.With more than 30 reproductions and essays by Anabelle Kienle Ponka, Lily Foster, and Sarah Fillmore, Halifax Harbour 1918 traces the artists’ meticulous approach to their mission and their role during a critical moment in the history of Canadian landscape painting.Deux artistes en temps de guerre, un port animé et une ville ravagée par l'explosion d'Halifax. Deux perspectives d’Halifax un an après l'explosion.En juin 1918, l’artiste Arthur Lismer (1885–1969) accepte une commande du Fonds de souvenirs de guerre canadiens (le Fonds) et se rend à Halifax pour documenter l’effort de guerre sur le front canadien et représenter le port de cette ville à la suite de l’explosion d’origine humaine la plus meurtrière à survenir avant l’apparition des armes nucléaires.De son côté Harold Gilman (1876–1919), grande figure du groupe londonien Camden Town Group et seul artiste de guerre britannique envoyé au Canada, est chargé par le Fonds de peindre un grand tableau du port de Halifax pendant la guerre.Avec plus de 30 reproductions et essais d’Anabelle Kienle Ponka, Lily Foster, et Sarah Fillmore, le port d’Halifax 1918 retracent l'approche méticuleuse des artistes à leur mission, les défis de travailler au lendemain de la tragédie et leur rôle au cours d'une moment dans l'histoire de la peinture de paysage canadienne.

Rocky Mountain Books,Canada Bow Lake: Wellspring of Art
Book SynopsisBow Lake in the Canadian Rockies has inspired artists for almost a century. An early explorer who recognized the beauty of this alpine landscape was Jimmy Simpson, a legendary guide and outfitter who also collected art and painted in watercolours. He welcomed artists such as Carl Rungius, Belmore Browne and Peter and Catharine Whyte to his camp beside Bow Lake, which eventually became the storied Num-Ti-Jah Lodge. A.C. Leighton and his wife, Barbara, along with Walter J. Phillips were among the early artists at Bow Lake. This artistic tradition has been carried on with the current artist-in-residence program at Num-Ti-Jah, attracting many contemporary artists to paint the spectacular landscape. This volume includes an introduction describing the history of exploration and the early artistic activity generated by Jimmy Simpson, followed by brief biographies of 18 contemporary artists whose works are also included in the 47 colour plates, all documented and described, of which only 6 have ever been published before.

Rocky Mountain Books,Canada Mount Robson: Spiral Road of Art
Book SynopsisWhen Jane Gooch first camped at Lake O''Hara in 1975, she could not have foreseen how important the Rockies would become in her life. She travelled from her home in Vancouver many times during the summer months to hike in the mountains, and her love of the alpine landscape eventually inspired her to study the artists who have painted in the Rockies. Her great enjoyment of the outdoors and a lifelong interest in art were combined with her academic background in writing and research. Mount Robson: Spiral Road of Art celebrates the centennial of Mount Robson Provincial Park with over a century of remarkable landscape paintings inspired by the Robson region in the Canadian Rockies. This volume includes an extensive introduction with historical and cultural background to the 50 colour plates, all documented and described, illustrating artists'' works in a variety of styles and media from 1907 to 2012. Early artists include A.P. Coleman, the first explorer, and Group of Seven members A.Y. Jackson and Lawren Harris. In addition, the works of 17 contemporary artists show that the Mount Robson area continues to stimulate landscape art up to the present. Only ten of the images have been published before.

Book Synopsis* A Rough Trade, Mojo and Evening Standard Book of the Year *''Peerless cultural history.'' Ian Thomson, Evening StandardOriginal.' GuardianFascinating.' Mail On SundayExceptional.' Irish TimesOver the course of the twentieth century, The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams is the piece of music that has come to define the mythical concept of the English countryside, with its babbling brooks and skylarks. Yet, the landscape is not really an unaffected utopia, but a living, working and occasionally rancorous environment that has forged a nation's musical personality. On a journey that takes us from post-war poets and artists to the free party scene embraced by the acid house and travelling communities, Richard King explores how Britain's history and identity have been shaped by the mysterious relationship between music and nature.

Random House USA Inc Entangled Life The Illustrated Edition
Book SynopsisMerlin Sheldrake’s New York Times bestseller, Entangled Life, is now a lavish visual journey into the hidden lives of fungi.When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave. In the first edition of the mind-bending, “gorgeous” (Margaret Atwood), ”brilliant [and] entrancing” (The Guardian) Entangled Life, Sheldrake introduced us to this mysterious but massively diverse kingdom of life.
