Migrations : Wildlife in Motion (2016, Hardcover) by MOBI, EPUB
9781608877140 English 1608877140 A powerful collection of expeditionary photography documenting migratory patterns of wildlife across the planet through the lens of Art Wolfe, one of the world's most celebrated wildlife photographers. Inspired by the imaginative spatial designs of Dutch artist M.C. Escher, photographer Art Wolfe traveled the globe in search of similar patterns in nature. The result is a book of remarkable wildlife images that captures both the beauty and the poignancy of animals on the move. Migrations draws the reader into the energy, motion, and enduring spirit of life on this planet. The stunning images capture the delicate balance of our ecosystem, conveying the primordial stirrings that prompt a flock of snow geese to head south, monarch butterflies to bejewel a forest of trees, or a colony of Indian bats to snuggle in tight hibernation, while also serving as a telling reminder of life's fragility. It carries a message of both celebration and conservation. Kenya, Japan, South Georgia Island, Trinidad, the Canadian Arctic, and the Ozarks are among the locations that create the backdrop for Wolfe's dramatic artistry as he showcases "classic migrations," the beauty of their trek, the splendor of the patterns they create, and the cycles they are compelled to repeat., From the thunderous movement of Africa's great herds of wildebeest and zebra across the Serengeti to a sea turtle hatchling crawling toward the ocean, animal migrations are some of the world's most inspiring phenomena. The trials faced by these animals and the distances they travel are an essential reminder of the delicate balance of earth's ecosystems. Revised and updated to feature a plethora of new images, Art Wolfe's Migrations: Wildlife in Motion draws the reader into the energy, motion, and enduring spirit of life on this planet. The stunning images convey the primordial stirrings that prompt a flock of snow geese to head south, monarch butterflies to bejewel a forest, or a colony of Indiana bats to snuggle in tight hibernation. Showcasing startling multitudes of fastÂdisappearing animals as they make seasonal journeys through their world and ours, Wolfe's photographs carry a message of both celebration and conservation. Supplementary text provides fascinating backstories about the animals and gives insight into the photographer's quest to record them. Kenya, Japan, South Georgia Island, Trinidad, the Canadian Arctic, and the Ozarks are among the backdrops for Wolfe's dramatic artistry as he displays large animal populations in motion around the globe. Through his lens, we glimpse the beauty of their trek, the splendor of the patterns they create, and the wonder of the cycles they are compelled to repeat., Inspired by the imaginative spatial designs of Dutch artist M.C. Escher, photographer Art Wolfe traveled the globe in search of similar patterns in nature.
