(see photographs). "Nature at its most breathtaking is the subject of this remarkable volume of photographs. The world's beautiful wilderness regions and the creatures which inhabit them have been the twenty-year preoccupation of Thomas D. Mangelsen, one of America's premier nature photographers. In more than 200 full-color pictures of Rocky Mountain ranges and African plains, frozen tundra and glimmering waterways and shorelines, Mangelsen captures the poetry of light and shadow, of fleeting instants of animal behaviour, and of nature's stillness and grandeur. Acclaimed for the sensitivity with which he selects moments and composes scenes to communicate something essential - what critics refer to as vision - Mangelsen has photographed some of the earth's most interesting creatures. Here are bald eagles, caribou, ermines, leopards, brown bears, puffins, and many more inhabitants of the wild. A biologist and dedicated conservationist, Tom Mangelsen has trekked the globe in his quest for extraordinary images that convey his love for the natural world and his passionate concern for its preservation. His artistic vision, so perfectly epitomized by the photograph of an Alaskan brown bear catching a salmon (shown on the cover) is matched by the patience and technical mastery that go into the making of each image. A virtual gallery of photographic masterworks, Images of Nature may rank as one of the more spectacular nature books ever published. The text by Charles Craighead describes Mangelsen's painstaking art and relates some of the photographer's anecdotes about his journeys in rarely seen landscapes and his favorite animal subjects. His narrative descriptions of the regions Mangelsen explores vividly introduce the natural elements that inspire the photographer's images. A ravishing feast for the eyes, Images of Nature is a must for lovers of photography, wildlife, and nature in all its moods." - from the inner front jacket flap. Codice articolo 002653
