This inspiring book tells the story of a photographer's journey to find the mysterious black leopard. There are few creatures as gorgeous and elusive as the black leopard. In Africa, these magnificent cats are so rare as to be the stuff of legend. Will Burrard-Lucas's love for leopards began during his childhood in Tanzania and propelled him into a career as a wildlife photographer. In his quest to create intimate portraits of animals, he developed innovative technology, including a remotely controlled camera buggy and a high quality camera trap system for photographing nocturnal creatures. Then, one day in 2018, he heard about sightings of a young African black leopard in Kenya and with the help of people from the local community, he succeeded in capturing a series of high-quality photographs of the elusive cat. In this compelling and visually stunning book, Burrard-Lucas tells his story of creativity, entrepreneurship, and passion for wild animals, alongside awe-inspiring images of lions, elephants, and the black leopard itself. • STAR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER: Will Burrard-Lucas's passion for nature and expertise in camera technology have earned him coverage from National Geographic, The New York Times, and the BBC—and over 1 million fans enjoy his breathtaking work online. • NATURE'S HIDDEN WONDERS: Black leopards are individual animals in whom a gene mutation results in excess melanin and an elegant black coat. Most are found in Southeast Asia, where lush vegetation offers them camouflage. In the semiarid shrub lands of Africa, black leopards are extraordinarily rare. Burrard-Lucas's images—showing these beautiful creatures prowling their territory under cover of night—are vivid reminders of nature's hidden wonders. • INCREDIBLE STORY: This is an adventure story that takes place in remote and wild corners of Africa. It reveals Burrard-Lucas's devotion, vision, and innovation that led to him capturing photos that are not only incredibly rare, but also breathtakingly beautiful. Perfect for: • Aspiring and professional photographers • Photography buffs • Nature and animal lovers • Big cat enthusiasts • Conservationists • National Geographic readers • Fans of memoir and adventure stories • Travelers to Eastern and Southern Africa
'Tom Gauld is always funny, but he's funny in a way that makes you feel smarter. Which is especially useful when he's being funny about science' Neil GaimanA dog philosopher questions what it really means to be a 'good boy'. A virtual assistant and a robot-cleaner elope. The undiscovered species and the theoretical particle face existential despair.Just as he did with writers, poets and literary classics in Baking with Kafka, Gauld now does with hapless scientists, nanobots, and puzzling theorems - with comic strips funny enough to engage science boffins and novices alike.
A look inside the ebook... In it you will find not only our daily routine that marked our road trip but also some tips of unmissable places in the Iberian Peninsula! Unique photos and some intimate and sincere vents. We loved the experience so we couldn't keep it to ourselves. Here are some excerpts of some curious and unique situations that we went through: “(...)We extended the night a bit more in the small place beside the water (where the kayaks and motorboats leave) drinking a bit more wine, smoking some cigarettes and sharing childhood memories, experiences of past times. The sky was filled with stars, the fact that it was no moon day allowed us to contemplate a sky loaded with stars.(...)” “(...)Leaving Aljezur we noticed a “couple” asking for a ride with a card saying: Lisbon, We looked at each other and agreed to give them a ride. We told them we weren’t going to Lisbon but in direction to Zambujeira do mar, if they wanted to come with us and go a bit forward and maybe finding a public transport or other ride. They accepted very happily and sat in the van.(...)” This and other situations that we went through during the 25 days were registed in a casual way on this book-diary so we want to share it with you! We are aware that there is still a lot to discover and also improve and for that we count on your comments, sugestions and questions that you find relevant.
