Description:
One of the best at the art of wildlife photography presents a year of his work in an informative and visually remarkable diary. From January's visit to India (and its magnificent tigers) to March's Arctic journey (where a sleeping polar cub lies atop mama bear) to December's African safari (leopards, jackals, hyenas), each month includes valuable information on planning a trip, packing equipment, and taking the actual shot. Almost every page features breathtaking examples of the author's pictures, and special boxed tips focus on shooting in low-light, selecting film stock, capturing silhouettes, and more. Digital cameras, underwater photography, macro lenses, coping with weather and its effects, and producing scans: it's all here, along with advice on photographing "local wildlife," because even when you're home, the fun can continue.

Strengths:
very readable even by non photographers
Weaknesses:
This is a fantastic look at the life of one of our top wildlife theatrics , it is very well written - so much so that both my mother and girlfreind (neither of whom is a photographer) also enjoyed reading it. Although principally about andys travels it also contains many tips and hints which are useful to even the less adventurous photographer
the only downside is that it was written before he went digital (in fact it tells of the first time he used a canon D30 because both his film slrs were damaged) butapart from that this is an excellent book which i would highly reccomend.
