This was a gift for a friend but when it came i was shocked the packaging made it seem a lot bigger then it was still the book is HUGE bigger then what i am used to! But what a fantastic book it is, i flicked through and wished that i could keep it i just wanted it so badly. its been a while since i have seen such beautiful photography, these prints are so fine and the pages such a heavy weight that i would recommend this to, well all that love animals and nature and photographers. Seriously i cannot rant and rave about this enough it is just fantastic!!!
Superb photgraphy, exquisitely printed on very high quality paper. I bought this along with 'Across the Ravaged Land' and the books are a stunning bargain at the moment. I feel that anyone who cares about African wildlife and has children, owes it to themselves to buy one or more of these books. I intend for my kids to inherit these books.
Sadly I can give no stars to Amazon for their packaging. I bought the above books and Salagado's "Workers" together, which was quite a large package. The packaging was woefully inadequate, with the books rattling around in an overly large box, loosely padded with small scrap of paper. The box was not strong enough, had partially opened and only by sheer luck were the books undamaged. I would think twice about buying large format books from Amazon again.

This is a beautiful book. The pictures are stunning, pictures you can look at again and again and still see something new. The cover picture alone gives an idea of what to expect. Only one criticism; I would have liked more text, descriptions of how the pictures were taken. These are large format pics with quite a bit of processing so I don't think the author is in too much danger of betraying his secrets. It would just make a fascinating read and something to aspire to.
After my own safari trip, I picked up this book at the Natural History Museum (where it is more than twice the price!) and my eyes filled with tears. the photos are beautiful and capture so many wonderful memories for me. This is a gorgeous coffee table book and all of my friends have admired it. I bought a copy for my travelling companion too and she adores it.
