Description
|
|
|
|
This beautifully illuminated companion to Graeme Gibson's Bedside Book of Birds explores the relationships between predators and their prey in the animal kingdom—here are beasts rampaging and devouring; others entangled with beauties; and still others suffering under the more beastly nature of man. Gibson presents works of art and literature that capture the power, grace, and inventiveness of hunters—from the big cats to the small but voracious praying mantis—as well as the experiences, strategies, and emotions of their prey. He also offers portraits of such legendary beasts as the Minotaur, Grendel, and the biblical Leviathan.
