520    "At the age of 42, his father not long dead and his young 
       sons growing fast, Toby Ferris set off on a seemingly 
       quixotic mission to track down each of the 42 surviving 
       paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who, at the age of 
       42, had been approaching the end of his own short life. 
       The results of his journey are a revelation: Bruegel's 
       panels, their landscapes teeming with robust life, become 
       a lens through which Ferris takes stock of the world, 
       informing everything from mortality, fatherhood and 
       contemporary life, to the bombing of Rotterdam, the 
       extinction of North American megafauna and how to ward off
       bears in the forest."--adapted from publisher's
