Jamie Wyeth had an early love of birds and other animals, and the barnyard birds he encountered at his farm in Pennsylvania and the wilder creatures he met on the shores of Maine have drawn his artistic attention since the late 1960s. More than 175 paintings and drawings are the result of his fascination so far, and almost a hundred are reproduced in this book. Includes essays by Bernd Heinrich, Richard Harris Podolsky, and Victoria Woodhull.

How many times is Armageddon mentioned in the Bible? Where do we find mention of the antichrist? What is the "mark of the beast"? How many battle scenes are there in the Revelation? How many battles are there in the Revelation? Which is the most musical book in the New Testament? Where can I find a calendar of end times events? These and many more questions are answered in this hopeful and inspiring treatment of one of the most controversial books of the Bible. According to the author, the book of the Revelation should bring hope and confidence to the Christian life, not fear and despair. It is a book that looks forward with the joyful anticipation of faith to the return of Christ and the ultimate restoration of God's good creation.

For centuries, the Tower of London has been home to a group of famous avian residents: the ravens. Each year they are seen by millions of visitors, and they have become as integral a part of the Tower as its ancient stones. But their role is even more important than that—legend has it that if the ravens should ever leave, the Tower will crumble into dust and great harm will befall the kingdom. The responsibility for ensuring that such a disaster never comes to pass falls to one man: the Ravenmaster. The current holder of the position is Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife, and in this fascinating, entertaining and touching book he memorably describes the ravens’ formidable intelligence, their idiosyncrasies and their occasionally wicked sense of humour. The Ravenmaster is a compelling, inspiring and irreverent story that will delight and surprise anyone with an interest in British history or animal behaviour.

Before the massive environmental change wrought by the European colonization of the South, hundreds of species of birds filled the region's flyways in immeasurable numbers. Before disease, war, and displacement altered the South's earliest human landscape, Native Americans hunted and ate birds and made tools and weapons from their beaks, bones, and talons. More significant to Shepard Krech III, Indians adorned themselves with feathers, invoked avian powers in ceremonies and dances, and incorporated bird imagery on pottery, carvings, and jewelry. Krech, a renowned authority on Native American interactions with nature, reveals as never before the omnipresence of birds in Native American life. From the time of the earliest known renderings of winged creatures in stone and earthworks through the nineteenth century, when Native southerners took part in decimating bird species with highly valued, fashionable plumage, Spirits of the Air examines the complex and changeable influences of birds on the Native American worldview. We learn of birds for which places and people were named; birds common in iconography and oral traditions; birds important in ritual and healing; and birds feared for their links to witches and other malevolent forces. Still other birds had no meaning for Native Americans. Krech shows us these invisible animals too, enriching our understanding of both the Indian-bird dynamic and the incredible diversity of winged life once found in the South. A crowning work drawing on Krech's distinguished career in anthropology and natural history, Spirits of the Air recovers vanished worlds and shows us our own anew.
