A glorious new volume of Sartore's signature animal portraits, this
time highlighting the fascinating shapes, patterns, and expressions of
animals both familiar and little known.
Joel Sartore, on a mission to photograph all the animal species in human
care, now delights us with more photographs, this time selected to
represent the amazing diversity of the world's animals.
The book's four chapters -- Pattern, Shape, Extra, and Personality --
invite us to revel in these photographs, many cleverly paired into
amusing and often surprising comparisons, like the catfish and the mouse
with the same stripes down their backs, the tarantula and the poison
dart frog both cobalt blue, or the tiny lizard and the weighty ox both
sporting pointed horns.
- Each photograph gets its own page or two-page spread.
- Scientifically accurate captions highlight distinctive features.
- Throughout, Sartore recalls telling moments from his photographic
adventures.
With all new image selections, this book expands the best-selling Photo
Ark series, sure to be a hit with those who already treasure National
Geographic Photo Ark, Birds of the Photo Ark, and Photo Ark
Vanishing.**
Animal lovers young and old will get lost in the pages of this book,
delighted by the spectacular diversity among these creatures and the wit
of the photographer chronicling them.**
