Nature has been Robert Bateman's inspiration ever since he began painting birds from his bedroom window as a young boy. The wildlife he features in his paintings are expressions of his love and respect for the natural world. 
A passionate environmentalist who has devoted his life to documenting the awesome power of nature, Bateman is deeply worried about the state of our planet and the fate of our natural heritage. Whenever he talks about his paintings, he talks about the environmental messages they convey, and those who have heard him speak have clamoured for a book that encapsulates his philosophy. Thinking Like a Mountain is the result of many years of thinking, talking and writing about the world's growing environmental crisis. Beautifully designed and illustrated with original drawings, it is a gathering of questions, observations and ideas Robert Bateman has drawn from his own life experiences and gleaned from the writings of some of the visionaries who have influenced him. As Einstein said, "We cannot solve the problems of today with the same thinking that gave us the problems in the first place."Only a profound shift in philosophy, Bateman believes, can save our species from extinction. Thinking Like a Mountain is printed on 100 per cent ancient-forest-free paper that is 100 per cent post-consumer recycled and has been processed chlorine free.

Birds of Prey is a bird guide with a difference. Robert Bateman's detailed, full colour paintings capture the incredible speed of falcons, the strength of eagles and osprey and the grace of hawks and vultures soaring overhead in a way that no photograph can. His paintings and sketches from around the globe bring to life these intriguing members of the bird world and also reveal Bateman's deep understanding of their role in nature. Bateman has been fascinated by the beauty, speed and grace of these winged-hunters since he was a child. In the ravines and countryside near his home, he'd see snowy owls patiently waiting for mice in roadside fi elds, and he remembers that spotting a hawk was always a highlight of his day. The accessible text includes anecdotes of his encounters with hawks, eagles and owls and introduces young readers to the traits that birds of prey have developed to capture and eat their food. Unique "sketchbook" sidebars provide intriguing facts about the different species. There's no better introduction to birds of prey!

Birds of Prey: An Introduction

Kovacs, Nancy

Scholastic Canada, Limited

L'artiste de renommée internationale s'intéresse aux volatiles depuis sa tendre enfance et voue une admiration sans bornes aux oiseaux de proie en particulier. Il admire la beauté, la grâce et la souplesse de ces chasseurs redoutables dont il épie les moindres gestes à chaque fois que l'occasion lui en est donnée. Ses nombreuses peintures et esquisses révèlent par leurs détails, sa connaissance approfondie des sujets et de leur rôle dans la nature. Plus qu'un guide, cet album rassemble des oeuvres exceptionnelles qui, bien mieux que la photographie, dépeignent la puissance du faucon, la force de l'aigle ou la grâce du vautour qui s'apprête à fondre sur sa proie. Un texte documentaire simple et accessible complète le tableau et apporte des renseignements complémentaires sur chaque spécimen ainsi que des anecdotes à propos des expériences de l'artiste lors de ses séances d'observation.
