Holling Clancy Holling's Books

The above scan does not begin to do Mr. Holling's work in Seabird justice! His pictures fairly glow and are a true visual feast!

The sidebars are typical Holling style. In this instance, Holling is describing in words and pictures how volcanic islands are formed, how coral reefs are formed, and how invention assisted the whaling industry.

The Hollings' books are always carefully researched and beautifully illustrated.
