Ring of Bright Water
Author: Gavin Maxwell
Publisher: David R. Godine Publisher
ISBN: 1567924840
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
This volume weaves together the Scottish otter stories from Gavin Maxwell's three non-fiction books, Ring of Bright Water (1960), The Rocks Remain (1963), and Raven Meet Thy Brother (1969). Maxwell was both an extraordinarily evocative writer and a highly unusual man. While touring the Iraqi marshes, he was captivated by an otter and became a devoted advocate of and spokesman for the species. He moved to a remote house in the Scottish highlands, co-habiting there with three otters and living an idyllic and isolated life – at least for a while. Fate, fame, and fire conspired against this paradise, and it, too, came to an end, though the journey was filled with incident and wonder. Maxwell was also talented as an artist, and his sinuous line drawings of these amphibious and engaging creatures, and the homes they occupied, illustrate his story. This book stands as a lasting tribute to a man, his work, and his passion. It was received and has endured as a classic for its portrait not only of otters but also of a man who endured heartaches and disappointments, whose life embodied both greatness and tragedy. He writes with rare eloquence about his birth, his devotion to the beloved Scottish highlands, and the wildlife he loved, while refusing to ignore the darker aspects of his nature and of nature in its larger sense.

Book Description
Bright Waters, two hundred pages of splendid color, takes divers and non-divers alike into the water to visit the creatures who inhabit the ocean. From the stately sixty foot humpback whale tending her baby to the timid half inch goby hiding in the coral, from the majestic fifteen foot manta ray to the gaudy inch long nudlbranch, it is a trip well worth taking.

The Bright Fish
Author: James Ward
Publisher: Cool Millennium
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Something’s not right aboard the cruise ship Aurora. Yet that’s probably what you would think when you’re with the girl you love and everyone else is about fifty years your senior. You’re 3000 miles from home, young, and high on emotion. Maybe it just ratchets up the sense of adventure. And yet perhaps something really is wrong. There’s the passenger everyone thought was dead, but who reappears one evening in the lounge without comment or explanation. And eighty-year-old Celia Soper who reads Tarot cards, but only for ‘the history of the world’ … whatever that means. And then, of course, the disappearances. Which, apparently, only you two have noticed. Above all, there are the bright fish, creatures the size of dolphins that materialise unexpectedly, at intervals, alongside the hull, glowing with indescribable colours. And which never seem to inspire the sort of delight one might expect. Quite the opposite, in fact. The Bright Fish is a love story. It deals with what it means to live, lose one’s heart, and ultimately, to die in the metaphysically reticent context of the present century. Are we always essentially alone, or is true interdependency possible? Is death our beginning or end? Or both? Conversely, is the truth stranger than we can possibly imagine?
