William Stout Bücher

Hier sind Dinosaurier, wie Sie sie noch nie zuvor vorgestellt haben. Dinosaurier, die schnell, atemberaubend, furchterregend und erstaunlich sind, präsentiert in einem prächtigen Format mit über siebzig Seiten farbiger Illustrationen und Dutzenden in Schwarz-Weiß. Mit den neuesten paläontologischen Forschungen bietet Die Dinosaurier einen wissenschaftlich genauen und fantastischen neuen Blick darauf, wie Dinosaurier lebten: wie sie sich bewegten, aßen, kämpften, tranken und sogar Liebe machten. Von zehn Tonnen schweren Brontosauriern bis hin zu dreißig Fuß langen Hadrosauriern, hier ist eine Geschichte, die fantastischer ist als die Fantasie selbst.

Using the latest paleontological research, this lavish book presents a scientifically accurate and fantastic new look at the way dinosaurs lives; how they moved, ate, dueled, drank, and even made love. Includes 32 pages of all-new art.

Drawings and commentary describe the world of the dinosaur and how dinosaurs moved, ate, lived, and died

In the hot summer of '69, two longhaired music enthusiasts created an underground LP of unreleased tracks by their music idol, distributing it on the streets of Los Angeles. This audacious act thrilled fans but angered the official record label. Were they pirates or heroes? After the initial success, they pressed even more records of forbidden music. By 1970, one of the creators introduced The Pig logo with "Trade Mark of Quality," giving rise to TMQ and Pigman. This narrative follows the outrageous characters behind TMQ, the first bootleg record label, which inspired many imitators. From the late '60s to the mid-'70s, TMQ and Pigman catered to music addicts worldwide, alongside a colorful cast including Carl, The Greek, Merlin, and others. The story intertwines with the era's significant events, including the Vietnam War and the moon landing. Included are reproductions of all rubber-stamped and illustrated album jackets from TMQ's releases, spanning from '69 to 1976. This volume offers a complete discography of artists and track listings, sources of recordings, catalogue numbers, colored vinyl pressings, and more, gathering everything you ever wanted to know about the real TMQ label in one place.

Taking his cue from legendary creators of early 20th century storybook illustration, modern master of the visual arts William Stout presents his impressions of the strange and sometimes terrible inhabitants of the worlds of literature, cinema, and popular imagination. The multi-award-winning artist presents illustrations that capture the very essence of the good folk and odd creatures who populate the dark woods and sun-filled glades of Aesop's Fables, who wander the wonder-filled roads of the Land of Oz, or who tread the blood-red soil of the planet called Barsoom, known as John Carter's Mars. Be they animal, vegetable, or mythic in nature, Stout's ink-and-watercolor images breathe vibrant life into crafty fox and humble scarecrow, terrifying sea serpent and deadly dragon alike.
