Mountain Reflections
by: Brockie, Keith
In this book Keith Brockie paints a personal journey through the seasonal
rhythms of the mountain hare and the ptarmigan, two prime examples of
arctic creatures which have evolved strategies to survive a harsh and
inhospitable environment. Through illustrations he shows in detail how
they relate to the landscape and its various textures and how their cryptic
spring and autumn camouflage is moulted to a thick white coat during the
winter months. He witnesses the vagaries of the climate from icy winter
scenes to unseasonable June snowfalls which threaten incubating birds
and new-born hare leverets. By rearing a brood of captive ptarmigan he
has been able to witness at first hand the growth from hatching of downy
chicks to full winter plumage. His drawings and paintings for "Mountain
Reflections" present an insight into an intriguing life cycle. However,
Brockie has not ignored the other aspects of mountain wildlife. The book
features detailed studies of the patterns and textures of red deer fawns,
aggressive cock-red grouse and delicate dotterel chicks. Necessary predators
such as the red fox, golden eagle and peregrine falcon complete the food
chain, while the artist draws also on his experiences of expeditions to
Greenland to feature the Nearctic counterparts of the hare and ptarmigan
as well as musk oxen, Arctic fox and lemmings. Throughout the volume the
flora and faunas are reproduced with a sympathy and knowledge born of
many hours, days and weeks working in the field. Stunningly illustrated.

Ned Smith's Wildlife Sketchbook
by: Smith, Ned
Ned Smith's "office" was all of the outdoors, and he spent
far more than the usual 40 hours a week there. His work as an artist,
writer, and nature photographer took him outdoors at every opportunity-sketching,
peering through a magnifying glass, or just watching alertly and jotting
notes. He liked nothing better than to be outside observing wildlife,
deciphering tracks in the snow or gathering wild mushrooms, berries, and
other forest delicacies for dinner with his wife, Marie. Ned once said
that "seeing is more than merely looking...it involves noticing things."
He had the ability to notice what most of us would pass right by, and
this gift brought life and wonder to the everyday events he recorded so
vividly in his sketchbook. Ned's knowledge and skill combined to make
his work informative as well as beautiful; these pages contain something
for everyone, from the experienced naturalist to the backyard birdwatcher.
Many readers were first introduced to Ned's work during the 13 years he
contributed a regular column to National Wildlife magazine. Ned Smith's
Wildlife Sketchbook brings together many of those columns so that old
friends and newcomers alike can enjoy Ned's work in a single volume. 80

lived together aboard the boat. 233 illustrations in full color. 240 pgs.
