The Living Wild by Art Wolfe
Art Wolfe has been photographing nature and wildlife to wide acclaim for 25 years, but his most recent book takes a new approach. Recognizing the crucial interdependence between animal life and the environment, Wolfe focuses on this relationship. As he says, An animal . . . within its habitat is a vibrant representation of natural selection. The Living Wild offers breathtaking evidence of this. Wolfe traveled three years to capture these rare, soaring images, from Mongolia to Australia to Iceland and beyond. The result is a rich pictorial tour of a magnificent array of animals, from charismatic beasts like the giant panda and the lowland gorilla, to a stunning display of birds, to such unsung contributors to the ecology as insects. Complementing the images are essays by renowned conservationists, such as Jane Goodall, who document the increasingly tenuous state of earth's biodiversity and suggest ways to strengthen it.During the course of his forty-year career, award-winning photographer Art Wolfe has worked on every continent and in hundreds of locales. His magnificent photographs interpret and document the world's rapidly vanishing natural resources. Gregory McNamee is a consultant and contributing editor for the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the author or editor of 35 publications. Wade Davis is an internationally best-selling novelist and anthropologist who has received critical praise. The Serpent and the Rainbow, One River, The Wayfinders, and Into the Silence are only a few of Davis's many works. Davis was an explorer-in-residence at the National Geographic Society from 1999 until 2013.
