Eric Hosking, the bird photographer, started taking photographs of birds in the late 1920s, when he did not have the convenience of a light 35mm SLR, but had to lug a 5" plate camera to the top of trees to take his pictures. The photograph that he took over the next 70 years until his death in 1991, stand as some of the classic bird photographs of this century. This book contains a selection of the best of these photographs.

The book starts with an introduction then a chapter setting the historical background. Next comes a chapter describing the ecology of the three main regions - the continent of Antarctica, the maritime Antarctic (the ocean surrounding Antarctica) and the sub-Antarctic - further out, including South Georgia and nearby islands. Penguins and albatrosses each have a chapter with all other birds (cormorants, gulls, skuas, wakes, petrels and pigeons) grouped together in another chapter. A chapter on seals and a chapter on wildlife photography in the Antarctic complete the main book, ending with an appendix and index.

Eric Hosking's Owls

A comparison of the scenery, underlying physical structure and ecology of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, describing the mammals and birds found in each region and explaining the various evolutionary developments that have allowed them to adapt their lives to ensure survival in such environments. There is an examination of the history and discovery of the polar regions, including the epic voyages and treks of great explorers such as Ross, Nansen and Peary in the North and Shackleton, Scott and Amundsen in the South. The origins of the Inuit peoples are described revealing their inert ability to live in harmony with the savage environment and in contrast the book highlights the threat from mechanical man, an outsider in these natural wildernesses. It includes the wider implications of the destruction of the ozonre layer, the "greenhouse effect"and the damage done by oil spillage. The photographers, a father and son team produced "Eric Hosking's Birds of Prey" and "Eric Hosking's Owls".
