Nature writing and photography at their exciting best.

North America's wildlife have endured the challenges put to them -- human encroachment, changing climates, and increased pollution -- with new trials forcing them to adapt as best they can. Their struggles and remarkable strategies are chronicled in North American Wildlife.

Complementing the compelling writing of David Jones are 400 of the most intriguing in-the-wild moments of wildlife ever captured: - A grizzly digging for razor clams on the shores of the Pacific - Wolves nursing their pups high in the Rocky Mountains - A Florida panther resting in the sun - Cougars and bobcats hunting - Rabbits, hares, raccoons, and pikas foraging for food - Stellar sea lions sunbathing off the Baja peninsula - Humpback whales feeding near Alaska's coastal fjords

The expansive parklands of North America provide a stunning backdrop for this dramatic close-up look at life in the wild.

  • Simply gorgeous
    For an oversized visual approach packing in color photo close-ups of North American wildlife, David Jones' title can't be beat: it pairs delightful full-page color photos with natural history, descriptions of research studies and findings, and protection routines, creating a catalog of wildlife which draws readers in with fine color and completes the education task with plenty of facts. As suitable for high school holdings as for public libraries, NORTH AMERICAN WILDLIFE is simply gorgeous. <br /> <br />Diane C. Donovan <br />California Bookwatch
  • Great read for a lazy Sunday afternoon...
    This would be the kind of book you will want to read when you don't want to think too much about what you are reading. You just breeze through the pages admiring the photography and the occasional useful insight into the animal kingdom...and, believe me, there are a lot of pages. This is a big book and definitely an excellent read for anyone fascinated by nature and wildlife.
  • Fantastic
    This is an amazing book. I could sit for hours and stare at the wonderful photography. It is a visual masterpiece!
  • Fantastic book!
    This is a fantastic book on nature in North America. The pictures are large and glossy, and the pages are thick. Somehow they cover every animal in North America with a large picture, and some writing. It is written smoothly, however, and isn't like a catalogue. The information provided is not too much, nor too little. Just the perfect information. It is a large book. 14 inches in length, and 12 inches in width. So the pictures are huge, as is the text. A must have for nature lovers.
