Carried on the Wind is a collection of paintings and pencil works
depicting the wildlife of southern Africa.
It is not a journal or an exhibition of art; it is simply a reflection
of an artist’s memoirs reaching back over half a century. It is the
wish of the author to allow the reader, whether he or she has had the
privilege of visiting our shores, to share in the marvels that this
exquisite continent has to offer and gain a deeper understanding of the
life that it carries.
Whether you are out in the countryside or at work in the garden,
you might encounter several different kinds of caterpillars. The
larval stages of butterflies and moths, caterpillars come in many
shapes, sizes and colours, and each has its own particular charm.
But can you tell a Comma from a Small Tortoiseshell? Or distinguish
between the caterpillar of a Drinker and Fox Moth? These are only a
few of the hundreds of caterpillars found in the UK, many of which
are just as beautiful and varied as their adult counterparts. RSPB
ID Spotlight Caterpillars is a reliable fold-out chart that
presents illustrations of 60 of our most widespread and familiar
caterpillars by renowned artist Richard Lewington. * Species are
grouped by family and helpfully labelled to assist with
identification * Artworks are shown side by side for quick
comparison and easy reference at home or in the field * The reverse
of the chart provides information on the habitats, behaviour, life
cycles and diets of our caterpillars, as well as the conservation
issues they are facing and how the RSPB and other conservation
charities are working to support them * Practical tips on how to
make your garden more caterpillar-friendly are also included The ID
Spotlight charts help wildlife enthusiasts identify and learn more
about our most common species using accurate colour illustrations
and informative, accessible text.

plight facing that animal and funds to protect it. Each book is full of

photographers. All profits from the sale of this book will be donated

The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively
bred over thousands of years. Today they're man's best friend - but
while many are pets, many, too, are working animals: for the
police, for the blind, as guard dogs, as sheepdogs, pulling sleds
and as therapy animals. Arranged in chapters covering physical
characteristics, senses, lifecycle, communication, behaviour and
working dogs, Dogs is a hugely informative visual celebration. From
huskies to German shepherds, from collies to Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu
to Jack Russell Terriers, Labradors to Bullmastiffs to Dachshunds,
the book includes a huge range of breeds. With fascinating captions
on every page, even dog lovers will learn something new. Dogs is a
brilliant examination in 150 outstanding colour photographs.
