The Emirates – A Natural History is quite simply a celebration of nature at its best. Written by 34 experts in their various disciplines, this book is illustrated with unique photographs, many of which are by award-winning cameramen. Who could turn these pages and not be in awe of the incredible beauty and variety of the natural world? Conservation draws its roots and strength from such understanding and appreciation. The real wonder lies, not on these pages, or in these photographs, but in the wild, where nature still finds a home. Long may it remain so!
