Featuring more than 450 awe-inspiring images curated by Stephen Ellcock, Ark is a celebration of the living wonders of this planet. Stephen Ellcock – renowned curator and author of The Cosmic Dance, Underworlds and Elements – brings together an amazing selection of images from a broad range of cultures and eras, depicting living wonders from all five kingdoms of nature. This visual treasury also features a foreword by Robert Macfarlane, an essay on the stories of the ark by acclaimed author Sarah Perry, and three inspiring essays on the natural world by tree scientist Harriet Rix, marine biologist Helen Scales and birder Stephen Moss.
Each writer guides readers through some of the intricate, life-sustaining relationships that populate nature’s elemental realms of earth, water and air, and outlines some of the threats that climate change and human actions pose.
