This gorgeous book is primarily wildlife photos wherein the wildlife is invisible at first and second glance. Almost a 'Where's Waldo' effect. The companion text is all at the back, next to a thumbnail. The photos are beautiful, the book was perfect for breaks when the physics got too dense for me, and it was fun for the whole family. It makes one wonder how many animals one is staring right at every time one leaves the house. Especially when we are walking up Mount Hood, in the National Forest. ( ) Stunning!

In this astonishing book, legendary wildlife photographer Art Wolfe turns to one of nature’s most fundamental survival techniques: the vanishing act. His portraits show animals and insects disappearing into their surroundings, using deceptions, disguises, lures, and decoys to confuse the eyes of both predator and prey. In a world where nothing is as it appears to be, a lion blends into the tall grass in the late-afternoon sun, or a harp seal disappears against his snowy backdrop. Pastel orchids can suddenly morph into predatory praying mantises, while lizard heads become tails. What at first appears to be a torn and decomposing leaf on a forest floor in Peru suddenly sprouts legs and starts walking: it is a leaf-mimic katydid. Spotting each cryptic animal amid Wolfe’s clever compositions is both a fun and an informative challenge. At a time when many species are performing permanent vanishing acts due to habitat loss and human encroachment, this book showcases the beauty and evolutionary extremes of animal behavior and artfully illustrates the tenacious will to stay alive in an eat-or-be-eaten world.
