Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This visually stunning natural history book brings the animal kingdom closer than you've ever seen it before.

Dramatically close-up images of animals from insects to reptiles to mammals to birds reveal spectacular patterns and shapes. The colors, textures, and structures of all parts of an animal are presented in breathtaking photographs, challenging the reader's understanding of animals and their habitats.

Review:

Staying away from the familiarly fluffy and cute, "Animals Up Close" features creatures that are little enough to hold in your hands but better examined through these strange and beautiful images. The burrowing owl might bite a finger off, a grass snake might release a terrible odor, and others, like the golden-headed lion tamarin, just need to have their shrinking habitats protected.

Synopsis:
