“The name Lisa Eareckson Kelley is synonymous with the Antarctic

Images Inc.
The Antarctic Dive Guide is the first and only dive guide to the seventh continent, until recently the exclusive realm of scientific and

The Amazing World of Flyingfish
Steve N. G. Howell
“Watching flyingfish is one of my favorite things
about pelagic trips. If you’d like to find out more
about these strange fish, this tiny, but attractive,
book is for you.”—Grant McCreary, Birder’s Library
If you travel the open ocean anywhere in the
tropics, you are very likely to see flyingfish. These
beautifully coloured “ocean butterflies” shoot out
of the water and sail on majestic, winglike pectoral
fins to escape from predators such as dolphins,
swordfish, and tuna. Some can travel for more than six hundred
feet per flight. Yet despite their prevalence in warm ocean waters
and their vital role in the tropical food chain, surprisingly little is
known about flyingfish—more than 60 species are said to exist,
but nobody is sure of the number. This beautifully illustrated
book presents flyingfish as you’ve never seen them before. It
features more than 90 stunning colour photos by renowned
naturalist Steve Howell, as well as a concise and accessible text
that explores the natural history of flyingfish, where they can be
found, how and why they fly, what colours they are, what they eat
and what eats them, and more.
• Presents flyingfish like you’ve
never seen them before
• Features more than 90 stunning colour images
• Explores the natural history of
flyingfish, where to see them,
how they fly, and more
• The ideal gift book for fish
lovers, ecotravelers, birders,
and armchair naturalists
The ideal gift for fish lovers, seasoned travelers, and armchair
naturalists alike, this first-of-its-kind book provides a rare and
incomparable look at these spectacular marine creatures.

The Passenger Pigeon
Errol Fuller
At the start of the nineteenth century, Passenger Pigeons were
perhaps the most abundant birds on the planet, numbering
literally in the billions. The flocks were so large and so dense
that they blackened the skies, even blotting out the sun for days
at a stretch. Yet by the end of the century, the most common
bird in North America had vanished from the wild. In 1914, the
last known representative of her species, Martha, died in a cage
at the Cincinnati Zoo.
“The heartbreaking illustrated
history of a bird that, having
once numbered in the billions,
vanished from the planet in 1914.
On the centenary of the species’
extinction Fuller, an expert on
extinct birds, reflects on what we
lost.”—Globe and Mail
This stunningly illustrated book tells the astonishing story of
North America’s Passenger Pigeon, a bird species that—like the
Tyrannosaur, the Mammoth, and the Dodo—has become one
of the great icons of extinction. Errol Fuller describes how these
fast, agile, and handsomely plumaged birds were immortalized
by the ornithologist and painter John James Audubon, and
captured the imagination of writers such as James Fenimore
Cooper, Henry David Thoreau, and Mark Twain. He shows how
widespread deforestation, the demand for cheap and plentiful
pigeon meat, and the indiscriminate killing of Passenger
Pigeons for sport led to their catastrophic decline. Fuller
provides an evocative memorial to a bird species that was once
so important to the ecology of North America, and reminds us
of just how fragile the natural world can be.
Published in the centennial year of Martha’s death, The
Passenger Pigeon features rare archival images as well as
haunting photos of live birds.

George L. Armistead & Brian L. Sullivan
“This guide is an outstanding reference and a valuable
contribution for birders at all levels. The format is reader
friendly and the illustrations are stunning.”—Wayne Petersen,
director of Mass Audubon’s Important Bird Area Program
Better Birding reveals the techniques expert birders use to
identify a wide array of bird species in the field—quickly and
easily. Featuring hundreds of stunning photos and composite
plates throughout, this book simplifies identification by
organizing the birds you see into groupings and offering
strategies specifically tailored to each group. Skill building
focuses not just on traditional elements such as plumage, but
also on building a context around each bird, including habitat,
behavior, and taxonomy—parts so integral to every bird’s identity
but often glossed over by typical field guides. Critical background
information is provided for each group, enabling you to approach
bird identification with a wide-angle view, using your eyes, brain,
and binoculars more strategically, resulting in a more organized
approach to learning birds.
Better Birding puts the thrill of expert bird identification within
your reach.

“A book so good I’m almost at a
loss for words. . . . The explanations [on vocalizations] are the
best I’ve ever come across; about
the visual aspects, what you offer
the acolyte and expert alike is
so visually rich as to make any
remarks superfluous. Just get the
book, I’d tell my readers, and be
dazzled. And well-schooled.”

Nature
The ocean teems with life that
thrives under difficult situations
in unusual environments. The
Extreme Life of the Sea takes
readers to the absolute limits of
the ocean world—the fastest and
deepest, the hottest and oldest
creatures of the oceans. It dives
into the icy Arctic and boiling
hydrothermal vents—and exposes the eternal darkness of the
deepest undersea trenches—to
show how marine life thrives
against the odds.
