Two hundred million years ago, these self-contained creatures shared Earth with the dinosaurs. Yet long after the demise of their contemporaries, turtles live on. It is not surprising, then, that they have been associated with strength, endurance and longevity throughout history, however slowly they may move. In Turtles 2010, world-renowned photographers catch an intriguing array of these ancient reptiles on film. The detailed images provide a captivating glimpse into the environment and behavior of turtles, while fascinating captions provide background information. Photographed in their natural settings, these distinctive turtles reveal the qualities that made their ancestors such survivors.

Best calendar EVER -- I bought this one last year (2009), and enjoyed it so much that I had to get it again. Can't think of any faults with it except that the holes aren't large enough. If you hang it on a nail, they are fine. But I hang it on a picture hanger, and have to tear the hole to make it a teeny larger. But that's a minor thing. This is an exceptional calendar -- great shots, scientifically great, make you laugh, make you think, etc. Breathtaking. Can't say enough.
