Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) was an artist of extraordinary drive, talent, and versatility; he embraced life with exuberance. And though he was one of the most popular American illustrators of this century—so much so that The New Yorker published the ditty, "That day will mark a precedent, which brings no news of Rockwell Kent"—the controversies engendered by his socialist leanings, particularly during the McCarthy era in the 1950s, frequently overshadowed his artistic achievements. His major art was inspired by his extended stays in remote, sparsely inhabited and climatically harsh regions, most of them islands, to which his imagination was drawn for a mythic association with the mystical and marvelous. Distant Shores captures Kent's great enthusiasm for the sea and mountains, and the relationship between nature and humanity. Produced to accompany a traveling exhibition of the artist's work, this handsome volume features eighty paintings, prints, and drawings, (more than fifty in full color) related to Kent's sojourns in the wilderness—Maine, Newfoundland, Alaska, Tierra del Fuego, and Greenland. Included in this collection are works from The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg that have been unavailable to the public since the early 1960s. Kent's dramatic black-and-white illustrations for Herman Melville's Moby Dick—the engravings that popularized his work in the United States—are also featured. The essays describe Kent's career as a painter, printmaker, book designer, illustrator, and prolific writer. Constance Martin contextualizes the work in the exhibition by providing an informative and insightful background of Kent's life and art. Richard West contributes fascinating details about Kent's childhood and early adult life, his mastery of the print medium, and his involvement with American political thought during the McCarthy period.

Delaware’s location in the mid-Atlantic region on the Atlantic flyway, as well as the geologic evolution of Delaware’s Piedmont and Coastal Plain, have resulted in a great variety of bird life—virtually all species regularly encountered in the East. Birds of Delaware is the first comprehensive book on birds in the state, containing accounts of 418 species, and the first state book to integrate breeding bird atlas survey results with all other available information on a state’s wild birds. Destined to be a definitive reference work for years to come, Birds of Delaware includes innovative graphic presentations on breeding and seasonal distribution, relative abundance of species, nesting season, and winter population changes. Primarily concerned with species accounts for breeding birds, migrants, and rare visitors.

This first, and some would say greatest, poet of the English language stands  before the gateway of the early modern age. He lived at a time when the elite  languages of former conquerors, French and Latin, were both giving way to  English - no longer just the vernacular of the common people, but increasingly  the language of the court, the law, and of literature. Richard West weaves a  fascinating picture of this extraordinary man, whose character has puzzled  lovers of his comic masterpiece, "The Canterbury Tales". How did he remain so  apparently cheerful and serene, through one of the cruellest eras of history? As  a child he survived the Black Death, later he fought in France during the  Hundred Years War, served as a diplomat in Italy, and became an MP at the angry  beginnings of the Protestant Reformation, the Peasants' Revolt and the overthrow  of Richard II.
