Double Hyenas and Lazarus Birds

Her second monograph with Radius, Victoria Sambunaris: Transformation of a Landscape shares the nuance and majesty of the artist’s practice in a large-scale book format.Based in New York, Victoria Sambunaris structures her life around a photographic journey traversing the American landscape for several months per year. Equipped with a 5×7-inch field camera, a video camera, and research material, she crosses the country alone tenting on top of her car. Her project-based photographs document the continuing transformation of the American landscape with specific attention given to expanding political, technological, and industrial interventions.Part of her ongoing, twenty-four-year series “Taxonomy of a Landscape,” this book encompasses the past decade of work, including collected ephemera that form the essential and incidental elements of her practice as a photographer and researcher. Also featured are archival documentation of experiences and observations on the road, such as snapshots, maps, road logs, journals, geology and history books, mineral specimens, and artifacts. The work of Victoria Sambunaris is held in numerous public collections across the United States, including the Denver Art Museum (CO), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Art Institute of Chicago (IL), International Center of Photography (NY), Center for Creative Photography (AZ), Buffalo AKG Museum (NY), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), Museum of Modern Art (NY), National Museum of Women in the Arts (DC), Brigham Young University Museum of Art (UT), Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VA), Museum of Fine Arts Houston (TX), Nelson-Atkins Museum (MO), and National Gallery of Art (DC).

Thinking with Birds

Eye-opening essays about searching for peace in the cacophony of birds and discovering a world of meaning in small moments - from award-winning actress Lili Taylor.

The Power and Beauty of Noticing

Turning to Birds

The acclaimed marine biologist and author of The Brilliant Abyss examines the existential threats the world’s ocean will face in the coming decades and offers cautious optimism for much of the abundant life within inNo matter where we live, “we are all ocean people,” Helen Scales emphatically observes in her bracing yet hopeful exploration of the future of the ocean. Beginning with its fascinating deep history, Scales links past to present to show how the prehistoric ocean ecology was already working in ways similar to the ocean of today. In elegant, evocative prose, she takes readers into the realms of animals that epitomize today’s increasingly challenging conditions. Ocean life everywhere is on the move as seas warm, and warm waters are an existential threat to emperor penguins, whose mating grounds in Antarctica are collapsing. Shark populations—critical to balanced ecosystems—have shrunk by 71 per cent since the 1970s, largely the result of massive and oft-unregulated industrial fishing. Orcas—the apex predators—have also drastically declined, victims of toxic chemicals and plastics with long half-lives that disrupt the immune system and the ability to breed. Yet despite these threats, many hopeful signs remain. Increasing numbers of no-fish zones around the world are restoring once-diminishing populations. Amazing seagrass meadows and giant kelp forests rivaling those on land are being regenerated and expanded.&nbsp;They may be our best defense against the storm surges caused by global warming, while efforts to reengineer coral reefs for a warmer world are growing.Offering innovative ideas for protecting coastlines and cleaning the toxic seas, Scales insists we need more ethical and sustainable fisheries and must prevent the other existential threat of deep-sea mining, which could significantly alter life on earth. Inspiring us all to maintain a sense of awe and wonder at the majesty beneath the waves, she urges us to fight for the better future that still exists for the Anthropocene ocean.

Paul Nash, the British landscape and Surrealist painter, lived through both the First and Second World Wars. His depictions of these human catastrophes, with their damaged landscapes and broken machinery are much remembered today. This new book offers 100 powerful images, with an introduction to his life and art.

The deep sea is one of humanity's last frontiers. For most of our history it has been a remote realm, invoking awe and terror as it lays shrouded in darkness. But here, where the light cannot reach, lies a strange, wonderful and breath-taking portal into Earth's past, teeming with scientific marvels and lessons for the future of life on this planet. In The Dark Frontier, marine microbiologist and expert deep-sea explorer Jeffrey Marlow plunges us into the unreachable realm and invites us into close-up encounters with its hidden brilliance. There are translucent shrimp that dance through sulfurous vents, crabs that stretch twelve feet from claw to claw and the eerie chalk-white towers of the 'Lost City'. Immersive and illuminating, Marlow's journeys heed warnings too: our reach is exceeding our grasp. We are irrevocably changing the deep sea before we even know it. This expansive book offers crucial and surprising insights into the birthplace of life on ancient Earth. It shows how life can thrive in even the most extreme conditions and expands our understanding of possibilities - and our responsibilities - on earth and beyond.

Unlocking the Secrets of the Deep Sea

The Dark Frontier

James Florio's exquisite black-and-white photography of sixteen important sculptural projects by Patrick Dougherty across the US. One of today’s most admired living sculptors, Patrick Dougherty composes with nature—wielding saplings and sticks to build monumental structures that echo, play, and tussle with&nbsp;the land.&nbsp;James Florio is a Montana-based photographer focused on the built environment&nbsp;and the life surrounding it. He works slowly, visiting a place repeatedly to gain a greater&nbsp;understanding of it, to ultimately deliver a thoughtful and profound interpretation. This project was inspired by Dougherty’s and Florio’s connection&nbsp;to Tippet Rise Art Center in Fishtail, Montana, where Dougherty has crafted sculptures&nbsp;from local willows, and where Florio has photographed the art and wild lands over&nbsp;many years. Dougherty’s first commission at Tippet Rise, Daydreams, was completed in 2015. He&nbsp;subsequently returned to the art center in 2022 to make a companion piece for this work.&nbsp;At the heart of both pieces is a nineteenth-century schoolhouse reproduction. The new&nbsp;work, Cursive Takes a Holiday (2022), adds an installation of intertwining branches to the&nbsp;outside of the schoolhouse, creating a series of circular spaces that visitors can step inside.&nbsp;Daydreams features woven branches that connect the indoors to the outdoors. In addition to thoughtful photographs, this book features information about the commission, creation, installation, and community&nbsp;engagement of Dougherty's work, along with essays about his practice, influence, and legacy.

A fresh appreciation of the magic of birds and how watching them fulfills a human need to connect with nature.
Enchantment by birds is commonplace. Birdwatchers merely go a step further than others and actively seek to be enchanted. This book tells why they take that extra step. It takes the reader on a series of excursions into birdwatching's past, venturing forward to the present. With an intriguing cast of characters, avian as well as human, its lively narratives explore the emotional and aesthetic impulses behind the pastime as well as its scientific and conservationist components.
Its stories of 22 Australian birds range widely: from wordy squabbles over bird names to the artistic finessing of field guides; from the Paradise Parrot's tragic fall into extinction to the everyday enjoyment of a Magpie's carol; from the evolution of citizen science to the boom in birding tourism. Interlacing them all is the insight that birdwatching is a means by which modern, urban people reach out to touch the wild. A primal desire to connect with nature lies at the heart of the pastime.
Enchantment by Birds not only offers a compelling exposition of what makes birders tick; it also tells us, imaginatively and informatively, why birds have a special place in our hearts.

A History of Australian Birdwatching

Enchantment by Birds

The first monograph in over 70 years on the celebrated female protagonist of Dutch floral paintingAt the end of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th, Rachel Ruysch was celebrated across Europe for her sumptuous floral still lifes, admired both for their artistry and for their accurate depictions of flowers, fruit and insects. Often placed on stone ledges and against dark backgrounds, her sumptuous bouquets seem to spill over with all manner of colorful flowers and plants, as bees and butterflies flit to and from their petals. Ruysch's star faded after the close of the Dutch Golden Age, but late 20th- and early 21st-century interest in women artists has returned her to the forefront of the art historical canon. Nature into Art introduces today's audiences to Ruysch's achievements while also exploring the pioneering role of women artists and scientists in the Dutch Republic in the 17th and 18th centuries. Brilliantly illustrated with detailed reproductions of Ruysch's intricate paintings, the essays touch upon Ruysch's career and her immediate legacy while also widening their scope to consider the role of botany in the early modern era and the storied tradition of botanical illustration. The catalog also includes an index of the various flora and fauna depicted within Ruysch's work, which feature both native and nonnative species. Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) produced hundreds of the floral still lifes for which she is best known. She was an apprentice in the studio of Willem van Aelst and the daughter of famed scientist Frederick Ruysch, meaning she had access to a wider world of Dutch flower painters and botanists. From 1708 until 1716 she served as court painter to Johann Wilhelm, Elector Palatine.
