Whitehead, Hal: Sperm Whales: Social
Evolution in the Ocean.
The University of Chicago Press, 2003.
Contains three halftone and five black-and-white illustrations
of Emese Kazár.
"[...] But much is hidden from even the most skillful
photographer. Emese Kazar kindly offered to prepare illustrations,
and did so with such skill, care, and artistry that they have
become central elements of the book."
"Illustrations by the artist Emese Kazar are used to
portray important parts of the sperm whale's biology and behavior
for which no clear photographs exist, but there is sufficient
observational or other information to produce an informative
picture."
Hal Whitehead: Sperm Whales: Social Evolution in the Ocean.
"[...] The illustrations by Emese Kazar of various aspects of
behaviour are particularly charming." Peter B. Best
Aquatic Mammals, 30(2):335.

Hála J.-Kecskeméti T.-Voigt V.: Kopénzek. Mondák, költemények és énekek.
[Stone coins. Stories, poems, and songs.]
Mentor Kiadó, Marosvásárhely, 2004.
It happened when the Hungarian king, St. Ladislaus, was close to catching up with enemy troops in Transylvania. The pursued army decided to strew the silver coins of their booty in order to hold up the Hungarians. The king helplessly observed his warriors getting off their horses and collecting the coins. He started to pray, and his prayer was answered: the silver turned into stone. The small, coin-like pebble is known as the "money of St. Ladislaus" in the Hungarian folklore. In reality this is the calcareous skeleton of the one-cell organism, the foraminiferan nummulith.
From its first mention in the 15th century, the story has been told in many different ways over the centuries. The book is a comprehensive collection of the legend, illustrated by six lino prints of Emese Kazár.
