'Images that have the power to affect how we feel about the natural world and
therefore how we treat it. It's a collection that will make you think.' Sir
David Attenborough This new book is a revised and updated edition of the
bestselling 50 Years of Wildlife Photographer of the Year. It showcases the
very best images from the last 55 years of the Wildlife Photographer of the
Year competition, including 20 stunning new photographs. Featuring many of the
greatest nature photographs of all time, this book charts the development of
nature photography, from the first hand-held cameras and the colour film
revolution of the 1960s, to the increasingly sophisticated photographs of wild
animals and unexplored places that are taken today. The prize-winning images
include ground-breaking portraits, breathtaking aerial shots, underwater
photography, close-up imagery and much more. They are accompanied by captions
that put the photographs in context, explaining their importance, and
revealing the vision, talent, passion and technique of the world's leading
wildlife photographers. All those who are passionate about photography and who
have followed this compelling competition since its inception 55 years ago
will treasure this magnificent volume. Read more
