The "Lost" Treasures of Louis Comfort Tiffany
Garden Ciy NY: Doubleday & Company Inc. Very Good in Fair dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. There are special Tiffany pieces not well known - the "lost" works of Louis Tiffany himself that are in a real sense the core of his astonishing achievement. They comprise his personal portfolio - objects made from his original designs for exhibition private commissions for the studios or for use in Tiffany's own homes. Many have vanished outright accidentally or purposely destroyed in the years following Tiffany's death. Many have remained unidentified and many are simply neglected today. This book re-evaluates his art in terms of his personal work - stained glass mosaics blown glass pottery jewelry and enamels. Tiffany's efforts in interior design are covered as are his easel paintings and his doomed but inspired dream to create a permanent residence retreat for working artists. Over 200 color plates and over 60 black & white photos present a vivid display of Tiffany's wide-ranging aesthetic. This is a rare portrait. Bound in black cloth the page bottoms have a few gray spots. The jacket has been price-clipped is shelf worn on the edges with chipped corners and spine ends. Also a triangular tear on the front at the fold along with a 1" tear and a 1 1/4" tear on the back and wear along the folds. Includes extensive bibliography and index. Heavy requires extra postage outside of the U. S.; 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall . Doubleday & Company, Inc. hardcover

MCKINNEY SAM; CODY ROBIN INTRODUCTION
Reach Of Tide Ring Of History: A Columbia River Voyage
Oregon State University Press. Softcover. Brand new book. Aboard a small handmade boat Sam McKinney set out to rediscover the Columbia River of his youth. The story of his voyage offers an intimate history of the great river and of the people who have lived and worked along its shores. McKinney a seasoned explorer historian and riverman begins his voyage on the sea. Following the path of Robert Gray's ship Columbia Rediviva across the treacherous Columbia River bar he embarks on an upriver journey that leads beyond urban Portland to the barrier of Bonneville Dam. Along the way he visits the sites of old Indian villages the camps of the Lewis and Clark expedition the rotting piers of early river communities and the islands of the lower river. Walking out along the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia McKinney recounts how this infamous bar was formed and how it was tamed by turn-of-the-century marine engineering. He sloshes through Astoria's rainy streets recalling its origins as the first American outpost on the Pacific Slope and its lusty past as a working waterfront. His voyage takes him to ghost towns and abandoned villages � Chinookville Frankfort Knappton. He describes the development of the river's fishing industry and the harsh conditions faced by fishers during the industry's peak years. He remembers his own boyhood working on the river as a gillnet fisherman and as a deckhand aboard one of the last sternwheelers. Combining the river's storied history rich personal memories and observations gleaned from the deck of the 16-foot Gander McKinney gives us a sensitive portrait of the Columbia river a book that reflects the rhythms of tides that the author knows so well. "Two weeks on the river and I was only fifty miles upstream" writes McKinney grounded on a hidden sandbar. "My wake had it been recorded would have revealed a slow wandering track of curiosity � islands explored old townsites discoverd and unnamed channels followed. Oregon State University Press paperback

Basking With Humpbacks: Tracking Threatened Marine Life In New England Waters
University Press of New England Hanover: . Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Basking with Humpbacks offers an exciting close-up look at some of the most rare marine creatures living in New England waters and examines the complex threats they face. In eleven chapters each featuring a different animal or plant McLeish takes readers on an entertaining journey with scientists who study these species. The author follows basking sharks�the second largest fish in the sea�in their hunt for food helps harbor porpoises escape from fishing nets snorkels in search of wild bay scallops and learns how the blood of horseshoe crabs is used in medical research. Along the way he visits the islands where rare seabirds nest tracks humpback whales on their long migration to the Gulf of Maine and watches as stranded leatherback turtles are returned to the ocean. These first-person experiences are coupled with interviews with biologists and other experts who explain in their own words the important role these creatures play in the marine ecosystem and what steps must be taken to protect them. In examining the natural history of selected plants and animals McLeish also discusses the physics of waves and currents the geology of the seabed the chemistry of sea water and other natural factors that influence the survival of New England marine life.

Golden Wings And Hairy Toes: Encounters With New England's Most Imperiled Wildlife
University Press of New England Lebanon: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. A lively and often surprising look at fourteen of New England's most endangered species. This book profiles fourteen of New England's most rare and endangered flora and fauna�mammals birds insects plants and fish�by following the biologists who are researching monitoring and protecting them. Each chapter includes a first-person account of the author's experience with these experts as well as details about the species' life history threats and conservation strategies. McLeish traps bats in Vermont and lynx in Maine gets attacked by marauding birds in Massachusetts and observes the metamorphosis of dragonflies in Rhode Island. He visits historical cemeteries to see New England's rarest plant tracks sturgeon in the Connecticut River and observes a parade of what may be the rarest mammal on earth the North Atlantic right whale in Cape Cod Bay. The book's title comes from the name of one of the birds in the book the golden-winged warbler and the unusual characteristic used to distinguish the rare Indiana bat from its common cousins its hairy toes. McLeish a longtime wildlife advocate and essayist has a gift for communicating scientific information in an interesting and accessible way. His goal in this book�to make an emotional connection to a variety of fascinating animals and plants�is successfully conveyed to the reader who comes away amazed by the complexity of individual species and the ecosystems necessary for their survival. Sometimes there are surprises: how lynx benefit from the clear cutting of forests or how utility companies �often blamed for environmental degradation�have accidentally succeeded in creating excellent habitat for golden-winged warblers along their power line corridors. Such examples support McLeish's assertion that we can meet the immense challenges to species preservation such as global warming acid rain and mercury poisoning as well as the difficulty of adding new species to the 1973 Endangered Species Act. As McLeish's book shows each rare species has an important story to tell about the causes of its population decline the obstacles each face in rebuilding a sustainable population and the people who go to extraordinary lengths to give these species a chance to thrive. "Todd McLeish takes the reader on a lively and enlightening adventure with field biologists working to better understand the natural history ecology habitat requirementsand conservation status of 14 of New England's rarest plants and animals . . . He treats the reader to the nuances and subtleties that make each of these 14 species unique�as well as the people who study them�and in the process provides plenty of reasons to as he says 'help postpone permanently the day that they like the heath hen disappear entirely.'"�Northern Woodlands University Press of New England, Lebanon: 2007 paperback

Such examples support McLeish's assertion that we can meet the immense challenges to species preservation such as global warming acid rain and mercury poisoning as well as the difficulty of adding new species to the 1973 Endangered Species Act. As McLeish's book shows each rare species has an important story to tell about the causes of its population decline the obstacles each face in rebuilding a sustainable population and the people who go to extraordinary lengths to give these species a chance to thrive. "Todd McLeish takes the reader on a lively and enlightening adventure with field biologists working to better understand the natural history ecology habitat requirementsand conservation status of 14 of New England's rarest plants and animals . . . He treats the reader to the nuances and subtleties that make each of these 14 species unique�as well as the people who study them�and in the process provides plenty of reasons to as he says 'help postpone permanently the day that they like the heath hen disappear entirely.'"�Northern Woodlands ISBN: 1584656263.
