Description

When a couple of of these photographs first gave the impression in the National Geographic magazine January 2009 issue, they were hailed as an arresting reminder of the hundreds of species teetering on the point of final extinction—more than 1,200 animals and plants in all. Now, in Rare, Joel Sartore and National Geographic present 80 iconic images, representing a lifelong commitment to the wildlife and a three-year investigation into the Endangered Species Act and the creatures it exists to offer protection to.

This book will give readers not only a broader understanding of the history and purpose of the Endangered Species Act, but also an intimate have a look at the very species it seeks to preserve. With stunning up-close portraits on each and every page, this important volume evokes sympathetic wonder at the vast and amazing array of plants and animals still in need of protection.

Itself a creation of particular beauty, Rare offers eloquent proof that a picture actually is worth a thousand words as it shows us, one after every other, scores of uniquely remarkable and seriously threatened life-forms. This is a compelling story and a many-faceted, brilliant jewel of a book.
