Summary: "This book brings together two of Edo culture's most colorful traditions prints and kites. Woodblock prints were known as ukiyo-e, which means "pictures of the floating world," a pun on a Buddhist concept of the fleeting world of desires that is, coincidentally but poetically appropriate for a study of kites borne on the wind. The book includes a table of seals that enable precise dating of many woodblock prints, and an "Anatomy of a Woodblock Print" clarifying the texts often found on prints." "All the major formats in the repertoire of Japanese woodblock prints are represented in the collection, from book pages dating from before the development of complex color printing to spectacular Kabuki prints and charming landscapes."--Jacket.

Summary: Cape May Point, New Jersey, is home to a natural phenomenon of stunning proportions. Each autumn, millions of migrating birds converge here on their annual flight to wintering grounds as far away as Brazil and Peru. Season at the Point, the rich and telling story of the birds and birders of Cape May, evokes the sense of mystery and excitement that pervades the Cape as birders gather to count owls by the hundreds, hawks by the tens of thousands, and shorebirds and songbirds by the hundreds of thousands.
