[untitled under the auspices} by sturnus vulgaris / White, Derek., 2012

 Item
Identifier: CC-57499-10000792
Scope and Contents sturnus vulgaris is the scientific name for the English Starling bird.Internet: This is a book of auguring, or divination codex, where birds are the words, in particular the common starling (with a few cameos by seagulls & crows). The sequenced set of flight patterns, or murmurations, were captured over the course of the past few years in the skies over Rome, where the starlings winter in the months of October & November. In the ancient Greek, Egyptian & Roman empires, the will of the gods was determined by "taking the auspices,' or interpreting the flight patterns of birds. In fact, Romulus & Remus, the infamous twin brothers raised by a she-wolf, were both augurs. To settle a dispute about where the city of Rome should be founded (Romulus preferred the Palatine hill & Remus preferred the Aventine), they both took auspices & Romulus "won,' hence Rome is named for him. The murmurating cross-sections in this book were captured mostly from the loser's Aventine...

[Untitled] / Waanders, Hans., 1993

 Item
Identifier: CC-00493-505
Scope and Contents This artist book itself lists artist books made by the author. Hans Waanders, who died in 2001, was a modern artist, bicyclist, bird watcher, bookmaker and explorer. He traveled around the world in search of the majestic Kingfisher bird. The Kingfisher lives near ponds, lakes, rivers and oceans. Hans became intrigued by the Kingfisher while observing them at his home near the Maas River in the Netherlands. This inspiring wonder is a brightly colored bird that dives in and hovers over the water to catch its meals of small water animals and insects. Its regal presence, amazing flight patterns during water diving and beautiful colors inspired Hans since childhood. Hans created many prints, artist books, paintings, writings, and installations about water, air, travel, environment, and imagination. He used the clever blue Kingfisher as a symbol of courage, power, and harmony with water, nature, and the universe. Hans expressed these themes in his many handmade books. -- Source of...
