Focusing on some of the world's last great populations of large mammals--elephants, giraffes, lions, gorillas and their kin--he created two of the twenty-first century's most popular photographic books: the instant bestsellers On This Earth (2005) and A Shadow Falls (2009). Portraying East Africa's animals with a solemnity and empathy usually reserved for human subjects, Brandt's photographs "tell us, in a way that is beyond words, that we do not own this planet, and are not the only beings living on it who matter," as philosopher Peter Singer writes in an essay in this new volume. On This Earth, A Shadow Falls collects the most memorable images from Brandt's first two books in a handsome linen-bound edition, printed in quadratone at Meridian in the U.S. A bestseller since its release in 2012, On This Earth, A Shadow Falls includes essays by Peter Singer, primatologist Jane Goodall, author Alice Sebold and photography critic Vicki Goldberg. With Africa's natural resources being fast wiped out, this volume stands all the more movingly as a last testament and elegy to a disappearing world. Born in England, Nick Brandt currently lives in the mountains of Southern California. Solo exhibitions of his work have been shown in museums and galleries around the world. Brandt cofounded Big Life Foundation in 2010, which helps protect the endangered wildlife inhabiting a large area of East Africa. Review: so amazing, so beautiful those pictures are - A piece of art work, so amazing, so beautiful those pictures are. It's not only a Must-buy books about wildlife animals' life but also a great book for B&W photography. The stories behind these creatures are sad and horrible, but it also remind and push us to face the problems of poaching. Save these animals, not just for them and for us, but also for our future and children. Review: These photos capture what is wild- what is beautiful- and what we as the " superior race" have and continue to ravage - Nick Brandt has captured the most heart wrenching documentation of man's cruelty-arrogance and greed. To think that we as humans have ravaged what has been created- created without any human interaction. These photos capture what is wild- what is beautiful- and what we as the " superior race" have and continue to ravage. What right do we have to eradicate these majestic animals? I ask myself that everyday. This is the point where we as a race have evolved. I am ashamed of our evolution. This book represents a deep love and appreciation for these magnificent animals and I hope will cause some soul searching to those who are privileged to view it. This endeavor by Nick Brandt will serve as an everlasting testament of respect and gratitude for this cause- for all of us to come to the realization that we have no right to kill -what was meant to share this planet with us. Thank you Nick Brandt ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,721,005 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,315 in Individual Photographer Monographs #2,884 in Plant & Animal Photography #9,442 in Photograpy Equipment & Techniques | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 136 Reviews | ## Images ![Nick Brandt: On This Earth, A Shadow Falls - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UDBiLeE0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ so amazing, so beautiful those pictures are *by C***O on October 5, 2014* A piece of art work, so amazing, so beautiful those pictures are.

Thank you Nick Brandt ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a most BEAUTIFUL BOOK...... *by M***A on August 14, 2018* Nick Brandt is a wonderful photographer. The book for me was just to heavy to lift. I have shoulder problems and it is a VERY LARGE BOOK and worth every penny. Had I been younger, I would have kept it but at 75 it is just to much for me to lift. I do have Inherit The Dust and it is much a much lighter book and not as beautiful as is this one. If I had someone to give it to I would have done so.
