A sumptuous celebration of more than 230 of the most memorable and beautiful wildlife photographs from the past 60 years

“This 60-year visual history captures the interaction of human and animal, viewer and subject…and sweeps us up in the great natural tapestry of life.” —Wall Street Journal

There’s a unique magic to nature photography, and 60 Years of Wildlife Photographer of the Year reflects that wonder on every page. The book collects more than 230 breathtaking images from one of the world’s most prestigious photography competitions hosted by the Natural History Museum, London, with captions that provide insight on the subject and the photographer’s methods. The images capture intimate, otherworldly, and poignant moments, including:

• Elephants taking a mud shower
• A macaque seeing his reflection for the first time

• The courtship dance of a humpback whale 
• A convolvulus hawk-moth drinking from a tobacco flower

• Vibrant orange algae growing on a Monterey cypress
