For twenty years John Aitchison has been travelling the world to film wildlife for the BBC and other broadcasters, taking him to far-away places on every continent. The Shark and the Albatross is the story of these journeys of discovery, of his encounters with animals and occasional enterprising individuals in remote and sometimes dangerous places. His destinations include the far north and the far south, expeditions to film for Frozen Planet and other natural history series, in Svalbard, Alaska, the remote Atlantic island of South Georgia and the Antarctic. They also encompass wild places in India, China and the United States. In all he finds and describes key moments in the lives of animals, among them polar bears and penguins, seals and whales, sharks and birds, and wolves and lynxes. He reveals what happens behind the scenes and beyond the camera. He explains the practicalities and challenges of the filming process, and the problems of survival in perilous places. He records touching moments and dramatic incidents, some ending in success, others desperately sad. There are times when a hunted animal triumphs against the odds, and others when, in spite of preparation for every outcome, disaster strikes. And, as the author shows in several incidents that combine nail-biting tension with hair-raising hilarity, disaster can strike for film-makers too. This is natural history writing at its absolute best: evocative, informative and gripping from first to last.

Scientifically accurate, this story of the Laysan Albatross is told from the point of view of the young bird as he begins life and as he matures to adulthood. A unique and little-known bird, the Laysan spends most of its life at sea, roaming tens of thousands of miles of ocean. The adults, whose life-span is as much as thirty years, return to land each winter to reproduce and raise their young. After its initial departure from Midway, at about five months of age, the young bird does not return to breed for seven or eight years. Mildred L. Fisher, the wife of Harvey I. Fisher, a noted zoologist who has conducted extensive research on the Albatross at the invitation of the Office of Naval Research, has accompanied her husband on many trips to Midway and has served as his research assistant. From her experience she has developed a respect and affection for the "goonies," which she feels is outside the scope of scientific data. It is her desire here to present, to all readers interested in natural history, a personable view of this interesting and unusual bird. The result is a story of the Laysan Albatross told with imagination and feeling. Illustrated with over sixty black-and-white photographs.

In Isles of Refuge, the first book solely devoted to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, field biologist Mark Rauzon shares his extensive, first-hand knowledge of their natural history while providing an engaging narrative of his travels. Braving seasickness, bad weather, and biting bird ticks, he journeyed from Nihoa to Kure to study and photograph plants and animals for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: rare palms, sharks, turtles, seals, and thousands of birds--finches, terns, petrels, noddies, shearwaters, curlews, boobies, tropicbirds, ducks, and albatrosses, or "gooneys," famed throughout the Pacific for their flying prowess and bizarre breeding rituals. Isolation and access restrictions have led to the recovery of many of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands' animal and plant populations to pre-exploitation levels, but they have also resulted in the general public's ignorance of the islands and their ecosystems. Informative and enjoyable, Isles of Refuge invites readers to learn more about the history and natural wonders of this invaluable resource.
