Presenting the beauty and diversity of wildlife in all its splendour, the pictures in this book are the best submissions from this year's Big Picture Natural World Photography Competition - an international competition launched by the California Academy of Sciences. This year they received more than 6,000 entries, helping to reinforce the academy's mission to explore, explain and sustain the natural world and life within it. The eight categories have been grouped into six key chapters, with each picture including an extended caption from the photographer. An intriguing addition is the judges' comments on selected images. Feedback from leading figures in the industry, such as wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas, National Geographic picture editor Kathy Moran and Sophie Stafford, former editor of BBC Wildlife magazine, gives readers insight into what makes a standout wildlife photograph.
