Trout of the World by James Prosek
In the rereleased edition of Trout of the World, fans of James Prosek's unique painting talent will revel in the addition of 30 new fish paintings and a newly penned preface. First released in 2003, Trout of the World features original watercolors of trout from around the world, ranging from the Oxus trout of eastern Afghanistan to the small golden brown trout of British chalk streams. Each unique painting is coupled with a historical profile of the fish, as well as personal reflections from the author. Prosek savors the beauty of various fishing spots, along with the fate of the species, contemplating man's role in the extinction of animals. Both sensitive and informative, Trout of the World is a must for the library of the recreational fisherman as ichthyologist.
James Prosek wrote his first book, the best-selling Trout: An Illustrated History (Knopf), while he was an undergraduate at Yale. Since then he has illustrated and penned five more, including The Complete Angler (HarperCollins), Early Love, Brook Trout (Lyons Press), and Eels. His next book, Ocean Fishes, will be out in Autumn 2012 (Rizzoli).
