About this product

Product Information

When a few of these photographs first appeared in the National Geographic magazine January 2009 issue, they were hailed as an arresting reminder of the hundreds of species teetering on the brink of final extinction--more than 1,200 animals and plants in all. Now, in Rare, Joel Sartore and National Geographic present 80 iconic images, representing a lifelong commitment to the natural world and a three-year investigation into the Endangered Species Act and the creatures it exists to protect. This book will give readers not only a broader understanding of the history and purpose of the Endangered Species Act, but also an intimate look at the very species it seeks to preserve. With stunning up-close portraits on every page, this important volume evokes sympathetic wonder at the vast and amazing array of plants and animals still in need of protection. Itself a creation of particular beauty, Rare offers eloquent proof that a picture really is worth a thousand words as it shows us, one after another, scores of uniquely remarkable and seriously threatened life-forms. It is a compelling story and a many-faceted, brilliant jewel of a book.

    Mesmerized

    This book instantly caught my eye with the picture of a wolf that said caution,that said I am in control,that said I am hunted,that said I am the hunter,that said protect me,that said you are safe with me. I couldn't take my eyes away--I wanted to cry and scream help. The inside information was factual,that was the saddest part, that there were actual numbers that could be counted. As long as there are people of honor and consciousness there is promise for the future.
