A stunning gift book filled with the real stories behind the beauty of our natural world.
Ben Hoare has contributed to many DK titles, including Wildlife of the World and An Anthology of Intriguing Animals.
In the same gilded, deluxe format as last year's An Anthology of
Intriguing Animals comes a compendium of 100 remarkable items from
the natural world, each showcased in photography and
illustration.
*The Bookseller*
Real-life marvels fill the pages of Ben Hoare's The Wonders of
Nature, following up last year's beautiful Anthology of Intriguing
Animals. Hoare introduces extraordinary plant life, from corpse
flowers to ghost plants, as well as tarantulas, rattlesnakes and
wombats . His writing is funny, informative and zinging with
infectious enthusiasm, helped along by elegantly integrated
photography and lush illustrations from Angela Rizza and Daniel
Long.
