| GLIMPSES OF PARADISE, The Marvel of Massed Animals. Bruemmer. This gorgeously photographed book is a peek into a world rapidly fading into extinction—an Eden where animals and birds pulsed across the earth and through the air in huge numbers. Fred Bruemmer traveled for ten years, capturing on film the massing of more than 40 species from all corners of the globe. Here are masses of shorebirds migrating to their arctic breeding grounds as they stop along the Jersey shores to fill up on billions of eggs left by massing horseshoe crabs. In the Amazon, pierid and swordtail butterflies mass near Madre de Dios River, where they sip the salty tears of nesting turtles. Bruemmer's stunning photographs of nature's spectacles include the migration of a million wildebeests—the last great massing of an animal species in Africa—the world's only colonies of king penguins, on Antarctica's South Georgia Island; and a thousand white beluga whales congregating in Canada's Arctic to mate, molt, and talk to each other in chirps, moos, squeaks, and whinnies. #SPC-58, hardcover.
