For nearly fifty years artist and naturalist Tony Angell has used Puget Sound's natural diversity as his inspiration and his palette. In this book, he shares his observations and encounters with the species that make up the complex communities of the Sound's rivers, tidal flats, islands, and beaches. Some 141 illustrations showcase his work: exquisite sculptures in bronze or stone, and finely-rendered drawings of kingfishers, ravens, owls, otters, salmon, orca, and other creatures in their natural settings.

Tony Angell is an illustrator, sculptor, and author. Angell has won numerous writing and artistic awards for his work, including the prestigious Master Wildlife Artist Award of the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum and the 2006 International Victoria and Albert Museum Illustration Grant Award. His sculptural forms celebrating nature are to be found in public and private collections throughout the country.

Industry Reviews

"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 of A Celebration of Birds
