Trade Paperback. Condizione: New. First Edition. New! Small, lightweight, and easy to use, A Field Guide to Fishes of the Salish Sea is a beautifully illustrated guide to identify the saltwater and anadromous fishes of the inland marine waters of Washington State and British Columbia. A must have for any backpack or home library! The most comprehensive and up-to-date work of its kind. Covering approximately 6,948 square miles of sea surface, the Salish Sea is home to 260 species of fish. The fish species are arranged phylogenetically-representing the evolutionary history and relationships between groups-beginning with the jawless hagfishes and lampreys and ending with the bizarre Ocean Sunfish. With an introduction that describes the "Salish Sea", how it got its name and its general geographic features, the guide gives accounts of the 80 fish families represented in the Salish Sea before moving on to cover the 260 individual species that have been recorded in Salish Sea waters. The authors generally avoid the use of ichthyological jargon, instead substituting common, everyday descriptors for the often-difficult terminology routinely used by professional ichthyologists. And for those who think the cold-water ichthyofauna of the Salish Sea might be drab, the guide's incredible illustrations by Joseph Tomelleri, with their astonishing and true-to-life colors, and assumed by many on first glance to be photographs, are ample cause to reconsider.

Tapa blanda. Condizione: New. Es 1062 y en Inglaterra se teme el fin de los tiempos. Negros presagios así lo anuncian. En el trono se sienta Eduardo el Confesor, rey viejo y sin herederos, y dos hombres llenos de ambición y vacíos de escrúpulos aspiran a sucederlo. En palacio conspira Harold Godwinsson, conde de Wessex, pero en la otra orilla del canal de la Mancha, Guillermo el Bastardo, duque de Normandía, aspira a hacer valer sus derechos. Ambos se lo juegan todo y en silencio reúnen a los cuervos de la guerra en espera de lanzarlos en su destructivo vuelo. Un hombre se interpondrá en sus designios, uno al que unos llaman demonio, otros bestia, y que para la Corona es un proscrito. Un hombre del que se dice que mató a un oso con sus manos desnudas, pero también que esas manos están tintas de sangre de los suyos. Demonio, bestia, asesino, proscrito: ese es Hereward, un guerrero de Mercia que vaga errante en los años previos a la conquista normanda de Inglaterra. Un encuentro con un monje, Alric, al que salva la vida de las garras de un cruel vikingo, cambiará la suya. En su huida buscará la redención y revertir las acusaciones que sobre él pesan como una maldición. Para ello luchará con todo y contra todos; para empezar, contra sí mismo. Esta es la novela de un rebelde al poder establecido que se levantará frente a la inmisericorde opresión de los invasores normandos. Como el rey Arturo antes y como Robin Hood después, Hereward camina entre la historia y el mito, en una época de inflexión en Inglaterra. Una epopeya salvaje de muros de escudos y bailes de hachas, de conspiraciones palaciegas y crueldad indisimulada, pero que canta también al honor de un caballero que, frente a la tiranía, alzará el estandarte de la libertad.…
