Worth Reading and Re-Reading
The Art of Photographing Nature is a unique photography book. Not only do you get a master photographer (Art Wolfe) dissecting his own work, his commentary is supplemented by Martha Hill. Ms. Hill was formerly the editor of Audubon Magazine and brings an entirely different perspective to the analysis. The hundreds of photos not only show off Mr. Wolfe's considerable ability but also provide ...

The Living Wild
It is a beautiful book as one would expect because the photos are by Art Wolfe. In addition there are descriptions of how and why he took each picture. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in wildlife and/or photography.

Art's Images Blow You Away
I hiked with Art in Patagonia when he shot the images in the Edge of the Earth, Corner of the Sky while I was researching my own new book, Classic Hikes of the World. Time and again, Art would rush to a spot and set up his camera. I looked where he was pointing but saw nothing unusual. When we returned to the US and I saw the pictures, I was shocked. Art has a unique ability to capture fleeting ...

Nature's Puzzles
Although it's aimed at adults, Vanishing Act is the best children's book I've ever seen. Kids treat it like a puzzle as they pick out the animal from its background. It gives us a chance to explain to them about life on earth when they are totally engaged. The photography is beautiful, too. Art Wolfe has turned wildlife photography upside down. Instead of isolating animals in their ...

great reading helper
This book really helps young children learn to read. My son is 3 yrs. old, and he does a really good job recognizing the pictures that are placed throughout the book. He loves Diego, and I was actually surprised when we began reading the book. I pointed to the different animals like armadillo, and he knew exactly what it was. These books help children learn words through the pictures....I bought ...

Lovely Calendar, Must Buy
This is my third year purchasing the same calendar. I started with the 2007, and am currently using the 2008. I liked it so much that I have purchased the 2009 calendar as well. The pictures in the 2008 calendar and the 2007 calendar are different and lovely. However, I prefer the 2007 calendar pictures above the 2008 and 2009 pictures. Still, that's just me quibbling, it doesn't make this ...

As good as it gets
As a web designer I've been using Photoshop professionally for years. I've also worked on lots of photographs, both my own and those I've gotten from clients. I don't need a how to book on layers, cropping and levels. I've got a good understanding of the basic Photoshop tools, and have benefitted from Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS for Photographers. But Kelby's book is a recipe book both useful and ...

Probably a good addition to your coffee table, but ...
This volume is filled with beautiful photographs of Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho. If you're looking for a coffee table volume about the area for guests to peruse, this may be the volume you're seeking. If you're looking for photographic tips, I'm afraid you will need to look elsewhere.

Great photos of a natural wonder.
This is a very nice book, even though I was hoping for something more. The pictures are fantastic, and even though I've lived next to Puget Sound for most of my life, half the images were of things I've never seen. The text makes a good case for people to care about protecting Puget Sound. I hope that many people read it and are inspired to take the bus or use a push mower more often to help ...

Learn more than ABC
My 2 and 3 year olds love this book. The pictures are bright and captivating, and the kids love to follow the poems with their own motions. Animal Action ABC combines lessons on ABCs, animals and gross motor skills. My son learned to jump and stand on one foot from acting out this book. For the reader, it can take a few readings to get the hang of the odd pentameter, but the children don't ...

Gorgeous photos and good, solid info on primates
Primarily a photography book, PRIMATES offers an intimate and often humorous (but not condescendingly so) look into wild primate life. Even the brief text, by Barbara Sleeper, is first-rate, revealing details about each species not often encountered by lay people. This is not meant to be a comprehensive text, however, but a celebration of some of our closest relatives. The photography is at ...

fantastic
I am a keen amateur photographer on a steep learning curve and a tight budget. I spend a lot of time in bookshop cafes reading (for free!) any book about photographic technique that I can find. I am becoming quite technically proficient but I also happen to be an outdoor enthusiast who loves white water kayaking, mountain biking and nature photography. Therefore, I no longer want to learn about ...

The Pacific Northwest has its own version of the seven summits: Hood, Adams, St. Helens, Rainier, Glacier, Shuksan, and Baker, stunning peaks that crown the Cascade Range. Art Wolfe captures their untamed beauty from near and far in breathtaking images that reveal high snowfields, lush old-growth forests, and the haunting blue light of glaciers. These striking photographs convey the many moods of these untamed mountains, which for many people ...

A Few Brilliant Photographs, But.....
I bought this book because I am in the process of photographing a Colorado photography book myself, and I wanted to see what else was out there. Although there are about 10 very impressive "close-up" photos in this book, the rest of the images, especially the landscapes, are fairly marginal. In addition, most of the images were taken from just 4 or 5 locations throughout the state. So it ...
