Description
Home sweet home. This is a remarkable photographic exploration of life on earth. In the year 2000, world-renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting set out on a personal journey to photograph the evolution of life on earth. He made pilgrimages to true time capsules like a remote lagoon in Western Australia, spent time in research collections photographing forms of microscopic life, and even found ways to create visual parallels between the growth of organs in the human body and the show more patterns seen on the surface of the earth. The resulting volume is a glorious picture book of planet earth depicting the amazing biodiversity that surrounds us all. Lanting's true gift lies beyond his technical mastery: it is his eye for geometry in the beautiful chaos of nature that allows him to show us the world as it has never been seen before. From crabs to jellyfish, diatoms to vast geological formations, jungles to flowers, monkeys to human embryos, "LIFE"" is a testament to the magical beauty of life in all its forms and is one of Lanting's most remarkable achievements." show lessTags

Lanting never fails to impress; his photographs are always wonderful
Stunning. You could lose yourself in these photos forever. Beautifully curated and a great book for naturalists.
A journey through time
"Leven" is een boek van Frans Lanting waarbij hij probeert de evolutie van het leven van de oertijd tot nu te illustreren met behulp van foto's die hij in de loop der jaren heeft gemaakt. Het verhaal is niet zo bijzonder maar veel foto's in dit boek zijn adembenemend mooi. Een must!
