Following on from the success of the first collection of "Light on the Earth", here are featured 12 of the world's top wildlife photographers and portfolios of their own favourite photographs. Each a winner of the prestigious Natural History Museum Wildlife of the Year competition, the featured photographers are: Jim Brandenburg, Laurie Campbell, Tui de Roy, Olivier Grunewald, Jan-Peter Lahall, Frans Lanting, Thomas Mangelsen, Vincent Munier, Klaus Nigge, Anup Shah, Kevin Schafer and Christian Ziegler. What distinguishes the work of these photographers is not just the result of their skill, patience, determination and deep understanding of their subjects. It is also their ability to reflect both the essence of the animals or plants they are photographing and the feeling of 'being there' - the beauty of the moment. These portfolios comprise remarkable scenes of animal behaviour, breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable portraits of fascinating wild creatures. Throughout, the emphasis is on beauty, colour and form. Each picture is accompanied by a caption revealing the story and the artistry behind its creation. This book will appeal to anyone with a love of the natural world and and appreciation of beauty and art. It is truly the best of the best - a collection that will make you gasp.
