To commemorate this milestone, U.S. F&W will publish a compelling history to celebrate the broad-thinking scientists, writers, and artists who led us through the gilded age of American ichthyology into the present day.

(978-0-8117-6990-7, June, 2021, hardback) By Guy Harvey
This strikingly beautiful, large-format book showcases Guy Harvey’s around-the-world fishing and diving adventures. Drawing from meticulous notes, knock-out photographs and Guy’s signature artwork, Guy weaves together fascinating stories, scientific discoveries and insights into the behavior of dozens of gamefish species to give us an up-close picture of his time on and in the water. Chapters highlight expeditions to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Belize, Cuba, the Caymans, Bermuda, the Yucatan and Mexico, Canada, Alaska, Costa Rica, Australia and the Galapagos, truly the international fishing experiences of a lifetime. Guy is a world-class angler, diver, photographer, and artist whose contributions to conservation and scientific research are as recognized as his accomplishments in sport and art. Guy has lived the life anglers dream of and this is the book that documents that dream.
Guy Harvey is a unique blend of artist, angler, diver, scientist, conservationist, and explorer. He grew up in Jamaica, a 10th generation Jamaican of English heritage, and at an early age developed a love for the ocean. He earned a degree in marine biology at Aberdeen University in Scotland and a doctorate in Fisheries Biology from the University of the West Indies. An avid SCUBA diver for more than 50 years and a skilled underwater photographer, Guy pioneered a technique for diving with and photographing free-swimming billfish. A self-taught artist, his work, including his large-scale murals, is exhibited in major galleries, universities, airports, cruise lines and Sea Worlds and his iconic t- shirts are worn throughout the world.
Guy has built a global lifestyle brand featuring books, apparel, footwear, accessories, home, pet products and merchandise designed with marine wildlife art that is unmatched in authenticity and visual appeal. As with every Guy Harvey-licensed merchandise, a portion of proceeds benefit ocean conservation through the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the seas by supporting groundbreaking scientific research and helping foster the next generation of ocean conservationists through education initiatives.
The Foundation helps ensure that future generations can enjoy and benefit from a properly balanced ocean ecosystem and supports the Guy Harvey Research Institute (GHRI) at Nova Southeastern University. The mission of NSU’s GHRI is to provide the scientific information necessary to understand, conserve, and effectively manage the world’s marine fishes and their ecosystems. The institute is one of only a handful of private organizations dedicated exclusively to the science-based conservation of marine fish populations and biodiversity.
Guy has been inducted into the Fishing, Swimming, and SCUBA Diving Halls of Fame. He is a trustee of the IGFA and his conservation work and scientific research are furthered through the institute and foundations, scholarship and center that bear his name. Guy is a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists and the Artists for Conservation and an award-winner of the Academy of Underwater Arts & Sciences. When not traveling, he lives in the Cayman Islands.

WORLD IN THEIR HANDS
ORIGINAL THINKERS, DOERS, FIGHTERS, AND THE FUTURE OF CONSERVATION
By Steve Johnson
Falcon Guides is proud to announce the release of
WORLD IN THEIR HANDS
(978-1-4930-5717-7, June 2021, hardback)
By Steve Johnson
Earth visionaries. Climate drivers. Believers. World in their Hands tells the stories of those who saw the importance of our natural world and dedicated their lives to its conservation, preservation, and protection in diverse and inspiring ways. These were tireless champions—thinkers, doers, and fighters who spoke up and took action long before it was fashionable, or critical.
Thinkers such as Henry David Thoreau and Aldo Leopold ground us in their deeply rooted emotional and physical attachments to nature. Doers like Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, and Rachel Carson include those who geared up and went out there to study, learn, record, report, and otherwise inspire the rest of the world. Fighters are the folks that got vocal, sometimes loudly, and stood their ground in the face of staunch adversity and resistance. Even at their own peril, they refused to abandon their commitment to saving a species or coveted piece of land.
Taking the preservation of the natural world into their own hands, their efforts led to the founding of the National Park Service and the Wilderness Society, the establishment of the Wilderness Act, the preservation of untold millions of acres of land around the world, and countless other victories. Their inspiring stories evoke a deeper appreciation of nature in each of us; showing us where we’ve been, how far we’ve come, and what the road ahead will look like for the next generation of conservation crusaders, at a time when conservation, environmentalism, and action is more vital than ever.
Steve Johnson is a self-propelled recreation junkie and fan of all things outdoors. Author of more than thirty outdoor interest titles and regular appearances in Backpacker and other award-winning magazines, he has also partnered with some of America’s most influential business leaders to write their riveting stories, including an influential and in-progress look at sustainability efforts around the world. And don’t miss his first children’s book, The Big Bog, a fun outdoor learning adventure story with a great message and start of a nationwide series.Building on a dynamic career in sustainability, natural resources communication, and editing, Steve’s work includes outdoor where-to and related subjects, with additional publications in the sports world, government agencies, business and memoir writing, historic preservation, and climate change. His lifelong passion for nature inspired responsible outdoor recreation efforts in the Upper Midwest and Colorado, as well as student-led conservation campaigns including Small Grass Big Earth, a movement to reclaim millions of acres of America’s lawns. Steve hails from Wisconsin’s far north.
