This volume traces the 300-year history of bird art in Australia, from the crudely illustrated records of the earliest European voyages of discovery to the diversity of artwork available at the start of the 21st century. It is a history inseparable from the development of Australian ornithology. Against a background of establishment of the country itself, naval draftsmen, convicts, officers, settlers, naturalists, artists and scientists alike contributed both to the art and to science.
From acclaimed director Robert Eggers comes The Northman, an epic revenge thriller that follows the quest of Berserker warrior Prince Amleth as he sets out to avenge the murder of his father and rescue his captive mother. The Northman : A Call to the Gods explores the cold and forbidding world of the Vikings, painstakingly re-created by Eggers and his creative teams, through incisive commentary and previously unseen visuals. Featuring exclusive interviews with the director and key members of this crew, plus the all-star cast-including Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Dafoe, and Björk-the book delves into all aspects of the production, from the initial inspiration to historical research, combat choreography, and more. Filled with thrilling imagery, including concept designs for armor and weaponry, storyboards, and stunning unit photography, The Northman: A Call to the Gods offers an intimate inside look at Eggers' creative process and the challenges and triumphs he encountered when creating this unique and new Viking saga.
