Krátky popis
Our earth is more beautiful and more diverse than we can possibly
conceive of. Collected here are eighty of the planet's most
mysterious, bizarre, and wondrous creatures and plants. Their
stories are captivating, from the olm - a pale creature with no
eyes that lives in cave pools - to the hawksbill turtle, whose
gender is determined by the temperature of the sand it was born
in.These creatures have survived hundreds of thousands of years by
cleverly adapting to their environments, but their futures remain
far from certain. In The Book of Vanishing Species, artist and
writer Beatrice Forshall tells story after story - bringing to life
red cranes as they dance and bow for the sheer joy of movement,
trees that breathe out a haze of misty atmosphere for insects that
only feast on one kind of flower, a deep-ocean snail quietly
building its shell from iron... each one is immortalised in a
detailed etching.As you turn the pages, there emerges a network of
life that stretches across and around the planet in a dazzling web
of existence. The Book of Vanishing Species is both a love letter
to the wonders of nature, and an urgent call to arms to protect
what is precious and beautiful in this world.
