Bloom's goal, brilliantly realised in this book, is to capture the spirit of the world's wildlife: the tiger's eye gleaming brightly in the jungles of India; polar bear cubs seeing the world for the first time; the few mountain gorillas in Africa. The result is a perpetual dance for the eye, the embodiment of nature's choreography, an intimate exploration which reveals not only the animals but much that is new about ourselves.
The photographs are accompanied by Bloom's own commentaries, as passionate as they are informed, and thought-provoking quotes from legendary figures in the world of animal welfare.
