ANSEL ADAMS IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES
ADAMS, ANSEL
The Sierra Club's twenty-seventh annual outing or "High Trip" was Ansel Adams's first as official
photographer. It was during this expedition to the Canadian Rockies in 1928 that Ansel began to find his
voice as a photographer. Here we discover images of celebrated natural sites including Mount Robson,
Amethyst Lake, Drawbridge Peak, and Bennington Glacier that foreshadow the majestic mountain vistas
for which Adams would become renowned. A fine chronicle of one of Ansel Adams's earliest major
photographic expeditions, and the only one he ever made outside of the United States, this book also
serves as a record of Ansel's emerging style during these crucial years in his artistic development.

AN APPETITE FOR WONDER
DAWKINS, RICHARD
Born to parents who were enthusiastic naturalists, and linked through his wider family to a clutch of
accomplished scientists, Richard Dawkins was bound to have biology in his genes. But what were the
influences that shaped his life and intellectual development? In An Appetite for Wonder we join him on a
personal journey back to an enchanting childhood in colonial Africa. There the exotic natural world was
his constant companion. Boarding school in England aged 8, and later, public school at Oundle introduce
him, and the reader, to strange rules and eccentric school masters vividly described with both humorous
affection and some reservation. An initial fervent attachment to Church of England religion soon gives way
to disaffection and, later, teenage rebellion. Oxford, however, is the catalyst to his life. Vigorous debate in
the dynamic Zoology Department unleashes his innate intellectual curiosity; and inspirational mentors
together with his own creative thinking ignite the spark that results in his radical and new vision of
Darwinism, The Selfish Gene. From innocent child to charismatic world-famous scientist, Richard
Dawkins paints a colourful, richly-textured canvas of his early life.
