A beautiful book, produced with the Natural History Museum, that reveals animals and plants that are hard to see in the skies, deep underwater, on clifftops, in caves and underground
Produced with the Natural History Museum, this book brings you closer to the wildlife that's hard to reach - to the animals and plants in the skies, deep underwater, on clifftops, in caves and underground. Find out how plants and animals adapted to these environments and about wildlife from long ago. Filled with stylish linocut prints of wildlife, this is a book you will admire for its beauty as well as for the fascinating information inside.

Discover the snow leopard as it hunts mountain goats and sheep, the ghostly pale, eel-shaped olm and a mysterious orchid that only blooms underground.

With gorgeous linocut prints, this beautiful book reveals the textures and patterns of the natural world.

Michael Bright has worked as an executive producer with the BBC's world-renowned Natural History Unit, based in Bristol, and with its Science Unit in London.

He is the recipient of many international radio and television awards, including the prestigious Prix Italia. He is a graduate of the University of London and a corporate biologist and member of the Royal Society of Biology. Jonathan Emmerson is an illustrator and printmaker.
