Descripci�n

Fine condition gray cloth boards with silver spine lettering contained in a very good condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. The upper front jacket hinge corner contains a repaired 1/2 inch closed tear; the jacket is in otherwise near fine condition. Includes Introduction and Acknowledgments. Profusely illustrated with 150 color paintings, sketches, and drawings in watercolour, pencil, crayon and oils. "With just two books of paintings and sketches from his native Scotland, Keith Brockie has quickly established himself as one of the leading wildlife artists of our time. From reviewers, critics and members of the public all over the world there has been a chorus of praise for his remarkable artistry and his extraordinary sensitivity to wildlife. With One Man's River Keith Brockie brilliantly enhances his reputation. In 150 paintings, sketches and drawings - in watercolour, pencil, crayon and oils - he superbly captures the birds, animals, flowers and plants that are to be found along the River Tay. It is the longest river in Scotland, and its headwaters, its lochs, its hinterland and its estuary are astonishingly rich in wildlife. Roe deer and mountain hare are found here; salmon, trout, and other fish abound in the water; ospreys nest close by, rare plants such as alpine gentian and drooping saxifrage grow high up in the surrounding mountain ranges; eagles, herons, goosanders, oystercatchers, lapwings, swans, goldeneyes and divers are just some of the numerous and beautiful birds that inhabit and visit the area; seals swim in the estuary in the Firth of Tay. Kieith Brockie paints and draws all this flora and fauna with enormous fidelity and attention to detail. The River Tay travels through a beautiful landscape containing an outstanding variety of wildlife. In capturing the thread of life at the heart of this unique region, Keith Brockie's magical illustrations will confirm his standing as an artist and naturalist of supreme quality." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
