Klappentext

These are the unforgettable highlights from the latest Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, the most famous and prestigious event of its kind in the world. Drawn annually from around 40,000 entries from scores of countries, it provides both an inspiring annual catalogue of the wonders of nature and a thought-provoking look at our complex relationship with the natural world. This book includes each of the category winners and incorporates all aspects of wildlife photography, from animal portraits to Earth's environments. For each photograph there is a caption that reveals the memorable story behind the picture and, for some, members of the international jury share their insightful thoughts. Twenty five striking photographs from the competition's People's Choice vote are also included.
