London: Century Hutchinson, 1989. First edition. Hardback. Good/Fair. The book is in good condition with just a teeny bit of shelf wear to the head and tail of the spine. The dust jacket, which is price clipped, is in fair conditon. It is clean and entire but there is a little creasing to the bottom fore edge and light shelf wear to the head and tail of the spine. Also a little colour fade to the spine. In the hands of wildlife photographer Stephen Dalton, the camera is a magical tool for exploring the natural world. Although the photographs speak for themselves, they also create an appetite to know more about this complex world, and Jill Bailey's informed and sympathetic text supplies background comments on food chains and life cycles of various plants and animals. In today's busy world there is all too little time to stand and stare but this enchanting book does just that.
