Angela Scott Bücher

Jonathan and Angela Scott's Safari Guide to East African Animals is a great compilation of information and award winning photography.

Big Cat Diary is a television phenomenon. From its inception in 1996 it grew steadily in popularity, until it attracted audiences of up to seven million. In autumn 2008, in the BBC Natural History Unit’s most ambitious outside broadcast ever, it went live for the first time and recorded two million visitors to its website in the course of transmission.

A companion volume to the successful "Big Cat Diary" television series, which goes beyond the day-to-day footage and explores the bigger history, biology, behaviour, conservation and how lions survive outside the Masai Mara. As well as a detailed examination of biology and behaviour, the book provides an historical perspective of the big cat families featured in the series. The book also looks outside the Masai Mara Game Reserve, to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Ngorongoro Crater, and Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Finally there is the question of how to conserve our big cat populations. There could be as few as 15,000 lions left in Africa. How can we ensure they can maintain breeding populations, space to hunt and sufficient prey to survive?

Focusing on the beauty and diversity of Earth's ecosystems, this fine art wildlife photography book showcases stunning imagery from savannas, forests, deserts, mountains, oceans, and polar regions. Jonathan and Angela Scott aim to evoke a sense of wonder and urgency regarding environmental preservation. Building on the success of their previous volume, they continue to highlight the importance of protecting our planet's wild places, reminding readers of the delicate balance of nature and humanity's role in its survival.

Weaving together the discovery stories of explorers such as Cook, Shackleton, Scott, and Amundsen, with the ecological stories of whaling and sealing, fishing and climate change, man's impact on this magnificent continent is revealed. For such an austere, frozen, and inhospitable environment, Antarctica is in fact a surprisingly fragile Eden.
