It is a compelling story and a many-faceted, brilliant jewel of a book.. With stunning up-close portraits on every page, this important volume evokes sympathetic wonder at the vast and amazing array of plants and animals still in need of protection.
Itself a creation of particular beauty, Rare offers eloquent proof that a picture really is worth a thousand words as it shows us, one after another, scores of uniquely remarkable and seriously threatened life-forms. When a few of these photographs first appeared in the National Geographic magazine January 2009 issue, they were hailed as an arresting reminder of the hundreds of species teetering on the brink of final extinction—more than 1,200 animals and plants in all. Now, in Rare, Joel Sartore and National Geographic present 80 iconic images, representing a lifelong commitment to the natural world and a three-year investigation into the Endangered Species Act and the creatures it exists to protect.
This book will give readers not only a broader understanding of the history and purpose of the Endangered Species Act, but“Just when we shed a tear, Sartore ends on a high with those creatures which have been brought back from the brink.” –Sunday Mail (UK) “Sartore, a Nebraska native, traveled the country to get glimpses of 69 species -- red wolves, Hawaiian orchids, hellbenders (a prehistoric-looking salamander), and sea turtles -- all now or once hanging on the verge of extinction.” –CNN “To help us see what we stand to lose -- just here in the United States.” –Lincoln Journal Star “An elegant depiction of some of the nation’s most imperiled organisms.” –Audubon “Joel Sartore is like the Richard Avedon for animals.” –NPR The Picture ShowWhen you read this book, it may change your thinking of this world. The book offers a variety of creative activities that can help any teacher develop motor skills and coordination in pre-school children. thorough introduction into person centered and holistic wellness in dementia. I am such a huge Joel Sartore fan. If you learn to incorporate these 4 steps into your habitual thinking process you can save gobs of money from paying to Therapist and on medication.But then we Americans tend to dismiss simple cheap books like this because it wasn't on the "NY Times best seller list" or become the "next fad in self help book." So we keep on searching for the next best therapist and the next best book or better yet looking for the right partner.. No superlative can do justice to the power of these amazing images. They are indispensable. "Natural Relief for Your Child's Asthma" empowers parents with page after page of specific instructions on how to reduce your child's dependence on medication by understanding the limits of conventional medicine, finding and avoiding triggers, using food as a healer, using suppJoel Sartore has been a photographer for more than 20 years (17 with National Geographic), and his many assignments have taken him everywhere all over the world. He is the author of several books, a contributor to CBS Sunday Morning, and his work has appeared in Time, Life, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated.
