Witness: Endangered Species of North America

By Susan Middleton

Book Overview

Startlingly beautiful and powerfully eloquent, Witness captures 100 species of North American animals and plants on the brink of extinction in a series of stunning portraits. By photographing each creature against a stark black or white backdrop, the photographers visually remove the habitat that would ensure its survival and bring the plight of the individual species closer to home. A bibliography, index, resource guide to additional information sources, and an essay on the U.S. Endangered Species Act complete this compelling volume.

Customer Reviews

Artistically stunning! Biologically Accurate!

I find that this book is excellent for providing accurate background information on the animals and plants as well as portraying each species with characteristic body language. This is by far my favorite photography book as a piece of art as well as a biological reference tool.

Amazing, beautiful photos.

Amazing, beautiful photos of some of North Americas rarest species. A "must have" coffee-table book!
