National Geographic The Photo Ark: One Man's Quest to Document the World's Animals

The photography in this book is utterly amazing and it is a must have for you or the animal lover in your life!

Another terrific installment of the Photo Ark books... Lovely photos grace every single page. I find myself thinking through it randomly , though by now I've seen it hundreds of times cover-to-cover.

Beautiful hardback photo of animals across the earth, sea and sky.This is for my 7 year old granite study for her art projects.I saw it in my Dr. office and immediately ordered it, 4 days later we were studying the array of amazing detailed photo

Absolutely gorgeous images of animals, often endangered from around the world.Two more books are planned, now with funding from National Geographic.

This is one of a series of photographic books of animals.The photographer, Joel Sartore, has taken up the task to photograph all of the animals of the world. Because of the many extinctions of animals he wanted to document before they are gone. It is an incredible task and the photographs are stunning. I believe that this book is the first in the series.it is a treasure. I plan on collecting the entire series. Just amazing.

Love this

The initial concept for this book is genius! I purchased the book after watching a video about the work of the photographer, Joel Sartore, and his National Geographic crew in the process of amassing the photos for the Photo Ark project. (Google & learn more!) That short film prompted my purchase.The book is stunningly beautiful and thoroughly fascinating! Anyone of any age will enjoy thumbing through these magnificent photos and reading about the various species over and over again. In each picture, the colors are vivid and the details of each animal are crisp and clear. The up-close visual of each animal allows the reader to clearly see and be mesmerized by textures and tiny details that could otherwise be easily overlooked. I have a great appreciation for this body of work by photographer, Joel Sartore, and an even deeper sense of wonder and awe of the animal kingdom. I highly recommend this book as well as the companion volumes. They are terrific gifts in addition to being wonderfully entertaining.

This is a story about an effort to create a pictorial record of the animal life on Earth. Many species are endangered and many are simply elusive, making this work quite difficult . This book is certainly worth study and everyone will be inspired by the most spectacular images of life in all its splendor and variety. Nature has quite an imagination and the photographer has captured the essence very professionally. Note: There is a most excellent video covering this project which is put out by National Geographic. Well worth a watch.
