Kurzbeschreibung
One of the world's preeminent nature photographers shows the beauty and evolutionary brilliance of animals and insects with a tenacious will to stay alive in an eat-or-be-eaten world.
Synopsis
In this new book he turns to one of nature's most fundamental survival techniques: the vanishing act. He shows animals and insects relying on deception, disguises, lures and decoys to disappear into their surroundings, confusing the eye of the predator. Nothing is as it appears to be, a lion blends into the tall grass; a harp seal disappears against his snowy backdrop. Pastel orchids suddenly morph into praying mantises; lizard heads become tails. What at first looks to be a torn and rotting leaf in a Peruvian forest floor suddenly sprouts legs and starts walking: it is a leaf-mimic katydid. Spotting each cryptic animal amid Wolfe's clever compositions is both a fun and informative challenge. As many species are performing permanent vanishing acts due to habitat loss and human encroachment, this book showcases the beauty and evolutionary brilliance of animal behavior and artfully illustrates the tenacious will to stay alive in an eat-or-be-eaten world.

Amazing
30. Oktober 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The photographs in this book are amazing. It is difficult to believe that one person could capture all these images in one life time. The pictures show a wide variety of ( North American ? ) animals in surroundings which match thier natural protective camoflauge. The cover is one of the lesser examples. This book must represent decades of work. I recommend it highly to anyone who likes nature photography.

Great for kids too!

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As a photographer and a fan of Art Wolfe, I purched this book for the usual reason - great photgraphic inspiration. This title does not dissapoint. It is big and beautiful... :)
BUT HERE IS THE UNEXPECTED BONUS: My kids LOVE this book as well. They have a great time looking for the animals hidden in their natural environments. Of course this is much better than the typical seek-and-find childrens books. Another unexpected benefit is that now when we take hikes, they are always looking out for animals that are blending in.

Nature's Puzzles
11. November 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
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 environment, he has shown them as part of the ecosystem in the most striking way.
Amazing and highly recommended.
