After three years of creation, I can’t wait to see this gorgeous book in person! I contributed entries to several chapters and covered a range of topics, from forest dogs to frisky barnacles to desert ponds filled with ancient bacteria.
Featuring over 500 extraordinary plants, animals, and natural phenomena, with illustrations and photos on every page, the book takes readers around the globe—from Antarctic deserts to lush jungles, and into the deepest fathoms of the ocean and the hearts of our densest cities. Teeming with detail and wildly entertaining, Wild Life reinvigorates our sense of wonder, awe and amazement about the incredible creatures we share our planet with.
