Reviews"Nobody is better than Mangelsen" - Drake Magazine " The Last Great Wild Places: Rewilding Through Photographs. When I look at the images it makes me feel good, and it's difficult to imagine that others will not share the same experience of awe and magnificence. While we won't be able to get back what we've lost, there still are plenty of awe-inspiring landscapes and animals who can fill our hearts and heads with joy. I hope The Last Great Wild Places enjoys a broad and global readership. It is perfect for people of all ages including youngsters. And, what's great about this book is that all one needs to do is look at and marvel at the photographs and imagine what it would be like to be there, as was Mr. Mangelsen. It also would be a valuable lesson to imagine what a tragedy it would be if, in the future, assembling a book like this would be impossible to do because the use of the word "wild" would be utterly and singularly misleading." -Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today

Synopsis2015 National Outdoor Book Award Winner: Design & Artistic Merit A collection of unparalleled photographs--spanning forty years and seven continents--by one of the world's foremost wildlife photographers. Capturing the splendor of wild places and intimate moments with animals, this luxurious volume chronicles legendary nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen's photographic adventures in the field. Driven by a passion for sharing and preserving the Earth's last great wild places, Mangelsen is as much a conservationist as a natural history photographer and artist. From majestic elephants and giraffes on the plains of Kilimanjaro to polar bears in the Arctic, and from mountains and prairies to primordial jungles, Mangelsen invites us to witness fleeting wildness. A quiet call to action, an inventory of our planet as it battles climate change, and a celebration of wildness and its intrinsic value, The Last Great Wild Places is a record of the Earth's last great locales, one that will inspire present and future generations with the message that what we have can, and must, be saved., Legendary nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen selects his most recognized and widely collected limited-edition images reflecting the beauty of the Earth's most iconic wildlife. This stunning, large-format volume contains more than 100 images captured from Mangelsen's last 25 years of photographic adventures around the world. This remarkable collection features more than 100 of Mangelsen's most loved and sought after limited-edition images. These spectacular images take viewers on a visual journey from polar bears in the Arctic to vast herds of game on the plains of Africa, from the deep jungles of South America to the tigers of India, from images revealing the diversity of wildlife in the American West to even more. Mangelsen has captured rare moments and vast panoramas from all seven continents.
