Illustrated with beautiful color photographs, The Wild leads the
reader to the planet's least cultivated places, from jungles to tundras.
Take a step into the wild!
We live in an increasingly urbanized world, but there are still many
magnificent stretches of wilderness unaltered by humankind. From the
most remote mountains and valleys in Alaska to the southern tip of Chile
and Argentina, from Europe's primeval forest on the Polish-Belarusian
border to Norway's fjords, and from the Namib Desert to Kamchatka in
far-eastern Russia to canyons in Kurdistan and rainforests in Cambodia,
The Wild celebrates the beauty of uncultivated landscapes all around
the globe. Arranged by continent, the book roams across landscapes and
climates, from Antarctica's dry valleys to African burning deserts, from
European marshlands to Arabian rugged peaks and on to Tanzania's
craters, Indonesia's volcanoes, and New Zealand's bubbling mud pools.
Each entry is supported with fascinating captions explaining the
geology, geography, flora, and fauna. In doing so, the book reveals some
of the world's most naturally bizarre places.
