Mankind is not alone in its share of our planet October 25, 2005

Nick gives back the dignity to the animal kingdom. If you are ever considering acquiring a book about animals in their habitat, this one should be it.
Respect for all the species and the lesson on how we can all survive. At the end we are all inter-dependent species in one way or the other...
Stunning work October 11, 2005

Recently picked up a copy of this extraordinary book at a gallery. The tension and intimacy of these incredible wildlife photos is unparalleled. If you've ever even dreamt of seeing the wildlife of Africa, this is the next best thing. All done without telephoto lens, Mr. Brandt somehow brings out the individuality and personality of these magnificent animals. The composition and mood of the "Cheetahs" is breathtaking.
Striking Wildlife Photography October 3, 2005

I was privileged to attend a gallery show of Nick Brandt's work during a recent trip to Los Angeles, where I saw an advance copy of this book. Of course, no book can capture the full glory of the photos on the walls, just as no book can capture an artist's colors and brush strokes, but it still remains the most remarkable book of wildlife photography I have ever seen. Initially, I was drawn to the noble poignancy of the cheetahs and lions, but the most unexpectedly beautiful photo - a vision of a lost Eden - was of hippos in a tree-encircled lake. That this is rapidly becoming a lost world is apparent. The photos capture what words cannot, so I won't attempt to describe the beauty, sadness and dignity evoked by these images, except to say that this is a much more than a coffee table book. You will go back to it again and again and feel your own soul expand.
