Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-07 00:00:00 Jose Ramirez I fell in love with Robert Bateman's amazing paintings many years ago. What makes this book a real gem is the commentary interspersed with the paintings. Mr. Bateman has a conservationist's mind and heart. I don't agree with everything he says, but his observational and perceptual skills, his years of naturalist experience trekking and exploring worldwide, and his gentle and skillful writing style make this book a joy to view, read and ponder.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-19 00:00:00 Nathan Kroll The art work in this book is beautiful. The accompanying text shows a tendency to romanticize the lives of peasants and hunter-gatherers. It has been noted, aptly, that the life of a peasant may be romantic to look at but is backbreaking to live, and the same thing applies with even greater force to pre-modern hunter-gatherers. Bateman does not seem to realize this basic truth. Regardless of Bateman's shortcomings as a philosopher or policy analyst, though, the paintings are superb.
