Book Overview
The definitive nature book, Wildlife is master photographer Mitsuaki Iwago's glorious homage to the animal kingdom, an abundant treasury of more than 450 photographs culled from a lifetime of work and presented in an unputdownable format. Iwago is one of the world's preeminent wildlife photographers, his images repeatedly lauded as superbly composed, dramatic, intelligent, and beautiful. His first book, Serengeti , was called one of the finest wildlife books ever published and has sold over 80,000 copies. Wildlife boasts the same riveting perspective, but takes us a good deal further, presenting wildlife of all kinds on every continent. Organized by region, from the Galapagos Islands to the plains of Africa, from the forests of India to the ice floes of Alaska, Wildlife is the rare nature book that is international in scope. Turn these pages and the panoply of creation dazzles the mind and the eye. Asian elephants, African lions, Antarctic penguins, North American otters-the world's myriad creatures show themselves in this brilliantly colorful tour. Here is an absolutely essential volume for all who love animals.

A Stand-out Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Someone else who reviewed this book said Iwago had an artistic eye and that is SO TRUE! It never ceases to amaze me how someone can capture in a photo that which "they see" and it is conveyed so we too "see"! I've been collecting various Photography books and this one is my absolute favorite!! It is true that you don't get much text, much explanation, but this is such a gifted photographer. I sit and relax, enjoying these photos again and again and again...transported away to places I'll never get to and creatures I'll never see in person. God's creation is so varied and awesome and Iwago has captured it in so many ways. I have bought extra used copies to give to friends.

My husband received this book as a Xmas gift. He spends countless pleasureful hours studying each photo on each page. We have traveled to Africa many times viewing and studying the fauna. We own many photography books but none of them capture the beauty and feeling that is contained in Wildlife.
It doesn't get any better than this!!!!

Is it the best photography you have ever seen? Is it the picture you dreamed you could take? Is it the patience to create a painting with the snap of a shutter? This book and Mr. Mitsuaki Iwago provide fulfillment. Before this I thought it had to be video. This presents the relevance and the intrigue and permits your own mind to wonder about the greatest creatures who inhabit the earth. We are so fortunate to be able to co-exist among them. If you have any doubt about what God created, you won't after you experience this masterful work.Experience it, it is the essence of all life. A book which will renew itself everyday you possess it.
