50 Years of Wildlife Photographer of the Year Reviews

"Great pictures of nature have one thing in common - they are unforgettable. They can also be a profound source of beauty, wonder and joy. This is a collection of work from the competition that, over the past half century, has become an international showcase for the very best wildlife photography - images that have the power to affect how we feel about the natural world and therefore how we treat it. It's a collection that will make you think." Sir David Attenborough; "Extraordinary images from half a century of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards... a book featuring some of the most compelling entries over the decades." The Sunday Times; "Started in the 1960s, the 160 prize-winning and commended images represent 50 years of different times, styles and specialisms - showcasing some of the iconic images of wildlife on planet Earth." The Guardian; "Stunning photos you need to see" Irish Examiner; "A commemorative book featuring the most impactful, compelling and memorable entries from the last half century."
