This beautifully illustrated book is the companion volume to this year's eight Audubon Television Specials on PBS and TBS. Offering an in-depth look at the fight for survival of a number of endangered species imperiled habitats, it unites image and word to create a beautiful and enduring chronicle of hope. The book combines dramatic on-the-scenes photojournalism with the exquisite nature photography that has become an Audubon hallmark. From ocean depths to arctic tundra and ancient forests, the collection of pieces here will bring readers to the major battlefields where the fight for survival is being waged by species such as wolves, sea turtles, and sharks. The role played by human beings in those battles is thoroughly explored, and shown to be no longer exclusively the concern of environmentalists but an issue of increasing importance to ordinary people around the world.
