Hardcover in Dustjacket. Etat : FINE. AUSTRALIAN FLORA Gardens - Cradled within the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area west of Sydney are the cool-climate gardens and hill stations of Mount Wilson, Mount Tomah and Mount Irvine reveal their enduring beauty and delights, both subtle and bold. Showcased through Brown's beautiful photographs, the gardens range from those mellowed by over a century of growing time through the golden years between the wars, to those tackling the challenges of modern day gardening. Dense cool climate plantings, splashes of autumn flamboyance, spring blossoms, and occasional touches of grandeur are intrinsic to these exotic oases within the all-pervasive native wilderness. Many of these unique mountain gardens are documented here for the first time. The reader is invited to unlatch the garden gate and step within these enchanted settings. xiii, 242 p. : ill.

Ajouter au panierFirst edition of this stunning tribute to the birds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Quarto, original cloth, illustrated with color photographs. From the library of Peter Matthiessen. American writer Peter Matthiessen remains the only writer to have won the National Book Award in both nonfiction (The Snow Leopard, 1979) and fiction (Shadow Country, 2008). A prominent environmental activist, Matthiessen received the National Book Award for Fiction in 2008 at the age of 81 for Shadow Country. "No one writes more lyrically [than Matthiessen] about animals or describes more movingly the spiritual experience of mountaintops, savannas, and the sea" (Michael Dirda). With Matthiessen's bookplate to the pastedown and his underlines and marginalia throughout. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. "The birds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, their epic journeys to populate it, and the variety of their lives that unfold on it, are compellingly represented in this beautiful book" (E.O. Wilson).…
