Synopsis"Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change" is a multiple award-winning 12 x 12'' beautifully illustrated and designed 264 page coffee table book by conservation photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter. Photographs: 190 stunning images of California's diverse wildflowers and their habitats, from high mountain passes in Sierra Nevada mountains to below sea level in Death Valley National Park. Text: Sixteen talented and diverse authors and scientists, eleven are women, wrote 18 storytelling style essays (1,200/1,800 words) about nature, conservation, climate change or taking action. Two younger authors write about hope and action, and what people can do to help create positive change. Three sections: The Gift of Beauty, The Human Connection and Ensuring the Future. Because people are constantly hearing about all the negative things going on in the world, Nita and Rob believed there was a need for a different, softer approach to grab people's attention and center it on the climate-change story, and conservation and population issues. They engage their audiences by first inviting them to experience the splendor of the natural world through a universal symbol of beauty, the wildflower, and then educate and inspire them to take some of the simple actions they provide to create positive change and a healthier planet. Their goal is to spread conservation and climate change ideas far beyond native plant and nature lovers, and to plant the seeds to foster action."Beauty and the Beast" is a 27 year photographic journey into the public lands of California. Lands we all own, lands under constant threat of development or resource extraction, impacts of global warming, sea level rise and wildfires. This book is as much a treasure as the flowers and creatures which are featured within its pages. Nita and Rob extend a hand to you to come in and take a long, slow look around and see what they have seen, experienced and have learned. Includes two comprehensive indexes and a glossary. Co-published by WinterBadger Press and the California Native Plant Society. Sierra Club's 2020 Ansel Adams Award for Photography awarded Rob and Nita.
