"A wonderful book, as Angell's superlative sculpture and exquisite drawings demonstrate how fine art can build a bridge of understanding to an extraordinary and still-wild area that remains an important repository of some of the natural capital we depend on." -Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University "Puget Sound is not just a description of a geography, it is a place. Tony Angell's book brings home that place in all its mystery and splendor. This is why the people who live [in the Pacific Northwest] love it." -William Ruckelshaus, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency "Tony Angell's sculpture is iconic." -Robert McCracken Peck, author ofA Celebration of Birds, _A wonderful book, As Angell_s superlative sculpture and exquisite drawings demonstrate how fine art can build a bridge of understanding to an extraordinary and still-wild area that remains an important repository of some of the natural capital we depend on._ _Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University _Puget Sound is not just a description of a geography, it is a place.

Synopsis
Describes the living systems within Puget Sound and The encounters with the species that make up the complex communities of the Sound_s rivers, tidal flats, islands, and beaches, Puget Sound's rich abundance of life - from mammals to birds - can be attributed to the fact that the region is far more than just a body of water. Edged by an extraordinary range of habitats, this region is visited and occupied year-round by species that are finely tuned to exploit the resources here that are necessary for their survival. Birds are among the most obvious occupants of these communities, and witnessing their dynamic lives has been a source of inspiration for artist and naturalist Tony Angell. For nearly fifty years Angell has used Puget Sound's natural diversity as his artist's palette. In this book, he describes the living systems within the Sound and shares his observations and encounters with the species that make up the complex communities of the Sound's rivers, tidal flats, islands, and beaches: the fledging flight of a young peregrine, an otter playfully herding a small red rockfish, the grasp of a curious octopus. Angell goes on to explain the methods he uses in his art. The shapes, movements, patterns, and even temperatures and smells that he experiences in the field are all brought to bear on his work. His drawings bring clarity to his visual and emotional memories, and his sculptures allow him to approach a memory from many directions and retain that memory in his hands. In all of his work, he lets the passion and excitement of his discoveries drive his artistic expression. Angell augments his descriptions of the wildlife of the Puget Sound region and his working methods with two appendices listing guides and references to this and other regions by other artists and naturalists. These resources not only put wildlife viewers in touch with the times and places to view particular species, but also speak to the patience and willingness to be delighted that are necessary to increasing the understanding of our wild neighbors.
