I thumbed through this book in a local store, because the subject matter was of interest to me. I was disappointed, but not surprised, by the poor quality, both in content and reproduction quality. Unfortunately, this is typical of all the books in the Amherst Media photgraphy series.

It's mainly used as an introduction to the works of the photographers featured in this book. The text included by each photographer is so brief that you'd learn almost zero from them. The range of photographers in there is pretty wide: you have big names like Art Morris and you also have photos from some others which are really weak.

This is a good book that any photographer at any level will find suitable for their library. Over thirty top nature photographers are featured and a brief background is given. It is also interesting to explore their style and techniques behind the many brilliant images contained in this book. A broad range of nature photography is covered which includes close up and macro, landscape and wildlife. I found this to be an enjoyable read and makes you want to grab your camera head outdoors.

I thought this was a great book on the broad topic of "Nature Photography".
Great photographers and great photographs.
I loved it
