Hyper Nature by Philippe Martin

danarsh's review against another edition

5.0

The pictures are amazing. It's fascinating getting to see the creatures in detail that you otherwise cannot, and I like that he gives extra information, such as the weather at the time the photos were taken, and that he describes his process of making the images. My one complaint is that I wish the common name for the animals was included, as usually just the scientific name is listed.

I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway.

3.0

Nature is truly beautiful, but you don't need this book to see that. This book contains some beautiful images, though the range (mostly Madagascar) is rather limited. The plant/fungi images impressed me less than pretty much any others in the book. I could not help but feel as though the author of the book was more impressed with his technique than by nature itself, which is not appealing to me. I also was irritated that he actually messed with his subjects, such as one lizard (I think?) that he moved just to photograph it.
