Take a fresh look at the natural world with best-selling author Ben Hoare
Shapes of Nature captures the infinite variety and delicate beauty of the natural world. Taking inspiration from the world around us, we have arranged iridescent beetles, eye-popping tree frogs, knobby sea shells, glistening crystals, fabulous fungi, and exquisite feathers into stunning artistic arrangements that are full of color and packed with detail.
These clever designs shine a light on nature’s variety with amazing clarity, they invite you to observe the differences between objects that look similar at first sight, and they reveal the intricate features that we normally overlook.
If you're looking for a gift for nature lovers and aspiring collectors aged 9 and up, this delightful and informative book is the perfect choice – a treasure to pore over again and again, and a valuable addition to any family’s bookshelf.
