This landmark volume presents the most memorable and beautiful pictures from six decades of the world's most prestigious wildlife photography competition.
Featuring over 240 images, with 20 from the last five years, this sumptuous edition presents many of the greatest nature photographs of all time. It charts the development of nature photography from the first hand-held cameras and the colour-film revolution of the 1960s to the increasingly sophisticated photographs of wild animals, plants and unexplored places that are taken today. Technological innovations introduced in the last decade include automatic focusing and fast burst rates, which are ideal for capturing motion, as well as aerial drone photography and macro probe lenses, which allow for photography at the largest and smallest scales. An incredible variety of styles, skills and approaches are on show, reflecting the great advances in technology and the many and varied ways of viewing and interpreting the natural world. Prize-winning pictures on display include groundbreaking portraits, breathtaking aerial shots, other-worldly underwater imagery, revelatory close-up exposures and much more.

With more than 80 million specimens, the scope of the Museum's collections is simply vast including the ill-fated dodo, dazzling diamonds and a full-size blue whale model. The Library of the Museum holds half a million artworks, comprising one of Britain's biggest art collections, and over one million books, including rare, richly illustrated antique volumes.
