Geoff Hunt is known to millions of readers across the world as the artist responsible for the covers of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels and more recently for those of Julian Stockwin's Thomas Kydd books. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the leading marine artists of his generation. More than a showcase of the versatility and creativity of his work this book written by the artist himself also reveals its accuracy through 5 key case studies that explain the initial inspirations gathering of source material and often lengthy artistic progression that leads to the creation of a finished painting. The artist has selected over 150 paintings and sketches to illustrate his prolific career painting techniques and influences dividing them into sections on Nelson's Navy The American War of Independence illustrating the naval writers and the Modern Maritime Scene which includes recent commissions from the commercial sector and yachting community.

Copepod Evolution
London: The Ray Society 1991. Illustrated large quarto pp 468 a very good copy in dustwrapper virtually as new. Copepods are small crustaceans that have colonised virtually every aquatic habitat from the deep-sea floor to the high Himalayas. They are by far the dominant animal group in marine plankton and often in freshwater plankton also. They are abundant both on and in marine sediments from the intertidal zone to the abyss and can be found in damp terrestrial habitats in large numbers. The variety of freeliving forms is only part of the copepod success story since copepods have become associates or parasites of virtually every animal phylum from sponges and cnidarians up to chordate including fish and mammals. This volume examines in detail the evolutionary pathways that generated this amazing diversity. It contains over 900 individual drawings and 43 plates of black and white photographs the great majority illustrating the basic form of each of the ten recognised orders of copepods. Existing classifications are reviewed and a new scheme of phylogenetic relationships is proposed based on the data in this volume. First Edition. Cloth. As New/Very Good. The Ray Society Hardcover
