Follow the story
and live the experience of one man's photographic journey through the
rainforests of the world. 16+ years in the making, packed with spectacular
photographs from Thomas Marent, a self-taught photographer who has dedicated
half his life to capturing images of rainforest life, and including captions
that present the stories behind the photographs, Rainforest is an extraordinary
photographic biography of our planet's most beautiful yet fragile environment.
Overcoming
everything from poor light to predatory animals, biting insects, invisible
diseases and intense humidity, Thomas Marent has spent his adult life seeking
out and photographing the spectacular beauty of the rarest rainforest plants
and creatures.
From Peru and
Ecuador to New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Marent annotates these
breathtaking photographs with a mix personal stories, scientific information,
as well as his own photographic processes. He writes about everything from a
close-call with a chimp in Uganda to the best time of night to search for
dangerous caimans.
Marent documents
the fascinating behaviour and incredible variety of rainforest animals and
plants – resourceful colonies of leafcutter ants and poisonous frogs to the
multi-hued clouds of butterflies and birds that flutter high in the tree tops.
Brimming with fascinating details, exotic and rarely-seen animals and lush
green spaces, Rainforest is a true celebration of the world's greatest
biological treasures.
Rainforest
showcases the world's rainforests in a visual biography of the planet's richest
and most diverse habitats and their inhabitants, this stunning book opens a
window to an unseen world of epic landscapes and tiny microcosms, great apes
and fearsome invertebrates – the wonders of five continents worth of
fast-disappearing beauty and splendour.
