Life on the Rocks the Art of Survival Philippa Nikulinsky 1999 SIGNED Botanical

Description: Life on the Rocks the Art of Survival Philippa Nikulinsky 1999 SIGNED Botanical The cover which is an uncoated textured board is a bit "grubby" from shelf wear (and probably looks worse under the microscope of photos). Internally the book is clean throughout and in very good order. It was signed to the original owner who was a personal acquaintance of the illustrator here in Perth, WA. It also includes a photocopy catalog of artworks for sale at the time of the book launch. Rare to find this. Life On the Rocks is a unique exploration of extraordinary flora and fauna that lives on granite outcrops in Western Australia. The book combines the unique skills of renowned botanical artist Philippa Nikulinsky, with the scientific and biological insights of botanist Dr. Stephen Hopper. The exquisite paintings feature species ranging from diminutive mosses to large trees, from tiny shrimps of rock pools to agile rock wallabies.Providing ecological and historical perspectives on the diverse, resilient flora and fauna that inhabit granite outcrops, this beautifully illustrated documentation explores Australia’s diverse wildlife–including the closest relatives to Granitites intangendus, a shrub that thrives in southern Australia’s harsh climate–revealing its origins in ancient rainforests that once covered the region. 184 pages : col. ill. ; 22 x 23 cm.
