Summary

The renowned wildlife photographer presents his most awe-inspiring images of great whites, hammerheads, and other shark breeds in this compelling volume.  
 
For most people, sharks and fear go hand in hand. But photographer and conservationist Chris Fallows maintains a more nuanced relationship with the super predator. Gasp-inducing in their immediacy and surprise, Fallows’s brilliant photographs present these mighty creatures in a different light.  
 
In Great White, Fallows’s work reveals the sublime beauty of sharks and provides a rare glimpse into their unseen world. Fallows captures these fearsome creatures as they breach the water’s surface in awesome displays of power. He also follows them below the waves to capture their mysterious underwater domain.  
 
A one-of-a-kind portrait of the shark and a superlative study of the nature photographer’s art, this collection elicits a deep appreciation for the creatures that inhabit our oceans.

    In this refreshing collection, one of our best writers on desert places, Gary Paul Nabhan, challenges traditional notions of the desert. Beautiful, reflective, and at times humorous, Nabhan's extended essay also called "The Nature of Desert Nature" reveals the complexity of what a desert is and can be. He passionately writes about what it is like to visit a desert and what living in a desert looks like when viewed through a new frame, turning age-old notions of the desert on their heads.Nabhan invites a prism of voices—friends, colleagues, and advisors from his more than four decades of study of deserts—to bring their own perspectives. Scientists, artists, desert contemplatives, poets, and writers bring the desert into view and investigate why these places compel us to walk through their sands and beneath their cacti and acacia. We observe the spines and spears, stings and songs of the desert anew. Unexpected. Surprising. Enchanting. Like the desert itself, each essay offers renewed vocabulary and thoughtful perceptions.The desert inspires wonder. Attending to history, culture, science, and spirit, The Nature of Desert Nature celebrates the bounty and the significance of desert places.
