Rare: Portraits of America's Endangered Species

Incredible book... Lovely pictures throughout that keeps me going back for another perusal. Sometimes it's nice to put the screen down and pick up a physical book and casually thumb through. Many of these species are on a comeback, which is terrific for future generations. Looks great on shelf with the Photo Ark books

Quality book beautiful images good coffee table book for casual viewing

This is a beautiful book with amazing photos of our endangered species, helps to identify the need for us to advocate for their protection.

A small book with huge insight concerning America's Endangered Species. These photographs represent the 20-year-long mission of National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore to record North American species facing extinction. Through them, Sartore makes a passionate appeal to all of us to protect our endangered wildlife.

This is such an incredible opportunity for all of us to see what's happening in our world. The photographs are exquisite. I strongly urge everyone to take part in learning and sharing this stunning peice of life and art! Kudos to Mr. Joel Santori!!

The photographs in this book are stunning. Absolutely beautiful. High quality images. This is a keepsake.

Joel Sartore is a genius when it comes to capturing the personality of these beautiful wild animals. We are so lucky to have him doing his job and he does it well. I own a few of his books and my children and grandchildren pour over them often. Well worth the $ to view and appreciate what is right here on this Earth. We need to be able to let these gorgeous creatures wander about the Earth in their natural habitats, if possible. Not destroy the species for a moment of 'owning' them.

I hoped for a bit more scientific information when I first opened the book, but upon reflection I realize that the power of this book is in it's simplicity. The species are organized in descending order of how many living specimens are left on earth - and to see them laid out like that gives new meaning to the word "endangered". Plus the photography is absolutely stunning! This is a book we'll give all of our new graduates as a parting gift; it deserves to be shared with others.
