Nature observed : The landscapes of Joseph Fiore / by Dewey, David,1946-editor.(CARDINAL)273988; Harris, Mary Emma,1943-writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)186388; Larsen, Susan C.,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)148398; Little, Carl,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)203586; May, Jessica,1977-writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)501463; Pasquier, Roger F.,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)324148; Crosen, Jane,editor.(CARDINAL)790249; Fiore, Joseph,1925-2008,artist.(CARDINAL)272323;
(From the resource): "Throughout most of Joseph Fiore's painting career, he was known as a landscape painter. However, to just label him a representational painter of nature does not complete the picture of his true creative motivations. The influence of eminent abstractionists Willem de Kooning, Ilya Bolotowsky, and Josef Albers during his years as a student from 1946 to 1948 at Black Mountain College set in motion the two modes of expressing the natural world that would [determine] the artistic path he would follow throughout his life as an artist: abstraction and representation. Essays by David Dewey, Mary Emma Harris, Roger F. Pasquier, Jessica May, Carl Little and Susan C. Larsen probe these two approaches of representing and interpreting nature in Nature Observed."

Cry of the wild : life through the eyes of eight animals / by Foster, Charles,1962-author.(CARDINAL)687085;
Includes bibliographical references.Preface -- Fox -- Orca -- Human -- Mayfly -- Rabbit -- Gannet -- Otter -- Eel -- Epilogue.We have long since isolated ourselves from our fellow animals, banishing them into exile and dominating the land they once roamed. But still they endure on the edges of our existence: a fox grown strong on pepperoni pizza from the dustbins of the East End, a rabbit dodging a bullet, a gannet diving through an oil slick. Foster gives us a bird's eye view, or indeed an orca's or an otter's, of the wonders and struggles of the natural world.

The delightful horror of family birding : sharing nature with the next generation / by Knapp, Eli J.,author.; Rhett, John,illustrator.;
"Eli Knapp takes readers from a leaky dugout canoe in Tanzania and the mating grounds of Ecuador's cock-of-the-rock to a juniper titmouse's perch at the Grand Canyon and the migration of hooded mergansers in a New York swamp, exploring life's deepest questions all along the way. In this collection of essays, Knapp intentionally flies away from the flock, reveling in insights gleaned from birds, his students, and the wide-eyed wonder his children's experience. The Delightful Horror of Family Birding navigates the world in hopes that appreciation of nature will burn intensely for generations to come, not peter out in merely a flicker. Whether traveling solo or with his students or children, Knapp levels his gaze on the birds that share our skies, showing that birds can be a portal to deeper relationships, ecological understanding, and newfound joy."--Amazon.com.
