Coming 2010: Arizona's Best Wildflowers Hikes A Field Guide to the Desert
Coming 2010: The Poetry of Color (10 x 10; non-fiction; biography; 160-pages; living-color photography)
When David Wiley joined the Peace Corp in the 1960's, he had no idea he was embarking on a journey that would last a lifetime. Always a poet, Wiley started to form his career as an artist. Living around the world from Ethiopia to Spain; Tucson then down to Mexico; and currently California, Wiley has developed a style of intense color and poetry that piques the interest of galleries and collectors across the country.
Not for art collectors only, this art book tells the story of the poet/artist's life, an object lesson to everyone who reads it that color is not only relegated to the canvas, but it belongs in each person¹s life. Illustrated with a lifetime of paintings and poetry.
Coming 2010: The Secret World of Wildflowers - Arizona (10 x 10; Non-fiction; 160-pages; 4-color)
Arizona has hundreds of species of wildflowers, and all of them have a story. Some, however, have a more intriguing tale. Many involve interplays with pollinators. Oftentimes they hold fascinating scientific secrets. Some are just downright interesting. This book goes way beyond common field guides as it delves into the secret side of more than 100 flowers from Arizona’s desert lands and high country with lively write-ups packed with information, folklore and facts that tell their fascinating stories along with beautiful color photographs showing close-ups of the flowers you don’t want to miss. It’s elegant enough to place it on your coffee table, but you’ll want to take it out in the backcountry with you on wildflower forays.
