This is an amazing animal photography book. The pictures are emotional, strong, powerful & beautiful. Nick has accurately captured the beauty of Africa in the faces of the lions, elephants & landscape.

This book is the first of a trilogy and probably the best entry-point into his w...
Stunning.
Humans are the shadow that falls upon these animals
