Rating: Summary: A whole new perspective. Review: This is a remarkable work. We're all accustomed to wildlife shots, but not from this point of view. Firstly, all in their true natural habitat, not some preserve or other artificial locale, and secondly, most shots are from a very intimate perspective. Not telephoto lenses, but wide angle. The colors, framing, and perspectives are unlike any you've seen or are likely to see again. Can't recommend this book enough.
Rating: Summary: Stunning Review: This is simply a stunning book. The book is a very large format, heavy hardcover. The photos are reproduced vibrantly and with plenty of breathing room--no cramming three or four photos on a page here. Art has attempted to show each animal in its natural surroundings. Many of the photos are taken with a wide-angle lens, sort of combining the best elements of nature and wildlife photography an the results are incredible. There are also well done essays by several leading biologists and naturalists in addition to careful notes on each photo by Wolfe.I purchased the book after seeing a slide show by Art. He devoted many, many hours and lots of his own money to produce this book. I believe it was definitely worthwhile. Buy a copy!!
