The Behavior Guide to African Mammals: Including Hoofed Mammals, Carnivores, Primates
 List Price: Price: $28.99 You Save: $7.96 (22%) DescriptionThe Behavior Guide to African Mammals is as different from a conventional field guide as motion pictures are from a snapshot. Whether we are able to look at them face to face, on television, or in the hundreds of illustrations provided here by Daniel Otte, this guide allows us to understand what animals do and what their behavior means.Drawing on his own extensive fieldwork and on the research of many other scientists, Richard Estes describes and explains the behavior of four major groups of mammals. Estes's remarkably informative guide is as up-to-date for the zoologist as it is accessible for the interested onlooker.
Richard Estes
 List Price: Price: $56.97 You Save: $28.03 (33%) DescriptionRichard Estes (b.1932) is one of America's leading photorealist painters. This new large-format book will cover fifty-five years of Estes's work, from 1950 to 2005, and will include paintings, watercolors, and preparatory sketches. Estes is regarded as one of the most important painters of the New York urban landscape. The crisp clarity of Estes's paintings is reminiscent of photography, yet upon closer inspection his work reveals elements and perspectives that do not exist in reality and have more to do with minimalism and realism than with traditional landscape painting. The book will also include his work of the last ten years, much of which will be published here for the first time. A detailed chronology and list of exhibitions and public collections are included.

Richard Estes: The Urban Landscape
 Price: $55.55 DescriptionThis is the first book on one of the leading figures in the triumphant revival of realism in American painting. The work of Richard Estes is appealing both for the dazzling technical prowess with which he renders the myriad details of the street and for the way these elements are composed into a distinctive aesthetic variant of the city view.It is intriguing to find in the work influences of both abstract painting and the realist tradition and to see how Estes has departed significantly from the mainstream of contemporary 'super-realism.' The artist's own attitudes toward realism and abstraction are revealed in an interview with John Arthur, director of the Boston University Gallery. Their lengthy and fascinating conversation touches on Estes's evolution and focuses especially on the way in which he develops a painting. Studies and details of the work document this painstaking process. All of the paintings are reproduced in color in this large format, conveying a true sense of their subtleties and complexities.
