About the Book ~
"This is the first book to celebrate the artist's contributions in all media ~ oil painting, acrylics watercolors, prints, book illustration, photography, and filmmaking. Dr. Peterson's career is surveyed in its entirety, and numerous examples of previously unpublished images are shown alongside his pioneering images of North American, Mexican, and British birds, and his magnificent paintings and phiotographs of the Penguins of Antarctica and Puffins of northern seas."
