Rezension zu „Relics: Travels in Nature's Time Machine “
"Imagine Gulliver just back from Lilliput. That is the entirely pleasurable feeling a reader will have after traveling through The Smaller Majority. Among the spineless wonders captured in macrophotos are giraffe weevils, tiger beetles, ant lions, shovel-snouted lizards and even a ghost-crab, dancing.... Small is beautiful-and powerful, too." -Patti Hagan, Wall Street Journal "Relics is an exciting, adventure-filled, and scientifically important presentation by one of the world's best naturalists and photographers." -E. O. Wilson "This is more than a collection of excellent photographs and words-it is one person's private view of the small majority's world, one person's ardent, even passionate, attempt to help others get closer and understand the wildlife in miniature that surrounds us all. And his passion is infectious." -Richard Jones, BBC Wildlife"
