This book contains over 140 images of landscapes, flora, fauna and close-ups that brilliantly convey the diverse, yet fragile, nature of the wilderness within the Canadian borders.

Short essays on the state of the Canadian wilderness from Freeman Patterson and members of the Canadian Nature Federation accompany the full colour images which have been taken by numerous leading nature photographers.

The images are mostly presented one per page on high quality glossy paper in a large format book. Thankfully, there are few examples of the annoying process of printing images across two pages and thus losing some of the image in the page gutter.

Those interested in the technicalities of the photographs may be a little disappointed to note that the images are not accompanied by any technical information such as shutter speed, aperture, camera/lens, film type etc... However, the images do provide inspiration in abundance for the budding nature photographer.

As well as being a book on the environment /ecology of the Canadian wilderness, the sumptuous images within this book make it a classic "coffee table book". I firmly believe that anyone buying this book will not regret doing so - it would be a fine addition to anyone's collection.

In this stunning book, Freeman Patterson creates stunning images and imaginative uses of the photographic medium.
