"Nobody is better than Mangelsen" -Drake Magazine
“The Last Great Wild Places: Rewilding Through Photographs. When I
look at the images it makes me feel good, and it's difficult to
imagine that others will not share the same experience of awe and
magnificence. While we won't be able to get back what we've lost,
there still are plenty of awe-inspiring landscapes and animals who
can fill our hearts and heads with joy. I hope The Last Great Wild
Places enjoys a broad and global readership. It is perfect for
people of all ages including youngsters. And, what's great about
this book is that all one needs to do is look at and marvel at the
photographs and imagine what it would be like to be there, as was
Mr. Mangelsen. It also would be a valuable lesson to imagine what a
tragedy it would be if, in the future, assembling a book like this
would be impossible to do because the use of the word "wild" would
be utterly and singularly misleading.” –Marc Bekoff, Psychology

"This magnificent book will catch your breath. And once your
breath returns to normal, and you turn the page, well, your heart
will stop. Within the covers of The Last Great Wild Places is
the life work of accomplished photographer Thomas Mangelsen.
It is a work spanning forty years during which he has captured the
beauty of the natural world on seven continents. Photography
this good deserves special treatment, and the publisher has left no
stone unturned in creating a book of the highest quality. The
reproductions are exquisite—and the photographs, had they been
printed on separate sheets, could have been mounted and hung on a
wall. This is as close as it gets to a gallery visit and what
better exhibit to take in than the enthralling work of Thomas
Mangelsen. "
