This charming and educational children's non-fiction title follows a mother brown bear through the seasons — from autumn foraging and hunting, through winter hibernation, the birth and rearing of her cubs in spring, their playful summer adventures learning to fish for salmon, raid honey, and hunt, to the family's preparations for the next winter. The book features stunning, realistic full-color illustrations on nearly every page by Michael Atkinson, whose detailed, lifelike animal artwork perfectly captures the beauty of the wilderness, the bear family's interactions, and the supporting cast of woodland creatures (moose, wolverine, woodpecker, squirrels, foxes, birds, and more). The text by Angela Sheehan is engaging and informative, blending narrative storytelling with factual insights suitable for ages 5-9.

Interior pages are crisp, bright white, and free of marks, inscriptions, foxing, or browning. All illustrations are vivid and intact.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The sprawling urban conurbation that is Swindon began life as an Anglo-Saxon defensible settlement atop a limestone hill. Old Swindon would likely have remained a sleepy market town were it not for the Industrial Revolution. The subsequent acceleration in Swindons growth began with the construction of the Wilts & Berks Canal in 1810, though the real transformative factor came between 1841 and 1842 with the historic decision by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Daniel Gooch to establish their Great Western Railway works in Swindon, leading to the birth of a new town: New Swindon.Todays Swindon is a surprising, multilayered, creative hotspot that is home to artists and writers of every genre and calibre. In Secret Swindon, author Angela Atkinson explores some of the lesser-known episodes and characters in the history of this Wiltshire town, bringing to life tales of those who have lived in it and the places they inhabited. Secret Swindon explores the lesser-known history of the Wiltshire town of Swindon through a fascinating selection of stories, unusual facts and attractive photographs.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ken Whites career spans an impressive six decades. He is perhaps best known for his murals, sited in a wide variety of locations. To date, he has painted over one hundred murals.For over twenty years Ken was the personal artist to Virgin boss Richard Branson and has completed works for him in Virgin establishments throughout the world, including recording studios, record shops, hotels and airport lounges. With the launch of Virgin Atlantic in 1984, Ken produced what is probably his most well know work: the Scarlet Lady emblem, which features on all the airline's aircraft.Kens early career as a graphic designer in the swinging sixties saw his work grace a variety of music and arts magazines, including the legendary underground magazine Oz. Through the 1970s and 1980s, Ken designed a vast amount of concert posters and, most notably, the cover of XTCs Black Sea album.Although mural work has provided a living, Ken has always been, first and foremost, a painter and is now gaining recognition for his works on canvas. Latterly, his work is concerned with depicting industrial landscapes and the lives of working men, strongly influenced by life in the railway workshops where he worked in his youth. An affectionate look at the career of one of Britain's best-loved mural painters and the man responsible for several iconic designs attached to Richard Branson's Virgin brand.

Paperback. Condition: New. Swindon's unusual history as a large industrial town in the heart of Wiltshire has defined its townscape for the last 200 years. The town is largely the creation of the nineteenth century, built around the Great Western Railway's Works, but it nonetheless has over 600 listed buildings, not to mention scheduled monuments and three registered parks and gardens.In Swindon in 50 Buildings, local author Angela Atkinson examines not only such well-known Swindon landmarks and areas as the GWR Railway Village Conservation Area and the Old Town, but also everyday buildings that reveal aspects of Swindon's always fascinating and surprising story. It is inevitable that many of the buildings in this book reflect Swindon's great railway heritage, but others are small stories written in brick and stone that tell of a time before the railway came and changed everything. There are farmhouses now engulfed by twentieth-century housing estates and grander buildings such as Lydiard House. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century with a formal park, the Lydiard estate served as both an American army camp and prisoner of war camp during the Second World War. The story continues to the present day with buildings designed by such well-known architects as Hugh Casson, the creator of the Wyvern Theatre, and Norman Foster, architect of the landmark and award-winning Spectrum Building. It includes, too, the most recent of Swindon's additions to the listed building's register - and it's one that will surprise you.…
