"Any book by Heather Angel is going to be full of stunning photographs. Just one look at the cover makes you realise just how impressive these photographs will be.
This is a great book for browsing but also for teaching the detailed anatomy of floral parts and the adaptation that plants have developed for pollinators." "One of Europe's most celebrated nature photographers, Heather Angel is recognised for her exquisite images which marry science with art. She has an almost Cartier Bresson-esque ability to capture decisive moments in nature." -- Geoff Harris "Pollination Power is a beautiful and informative insight into the hidden secrets of plant pollination." "An insight into the clever tricks and rewards plants use to attract pollinators." "Photographer Angel has traveled the world to document how plants attract pollinators. Her mesmerizing images showcase magenta hibiscus trumpets in Hawaii, stubbly Arabian starflower stamens and pollen-covered bees in Tajikistan, as well as beetles, butterflies and birds swooping in to feed. Angel's words highlight the various ways flowers communicate with such creatures. The photographs and text are all tied together in a gorgeous large-format book." "Find out the intricacies of how flowers communicate with their pollinators in award-winning wildlife photographer's dazzling tome Pollination Power." -- Hannah Stephenson Pollination Power is a marriage of art and science consistent with Heather's work over the past five decades, during which time she has remained one of the UK's best known nature photographers. -- David Clark "Pollination Power by wildlife photographer Heather Angel is full of sumptuous photographs showing pollen grains puffing out of flowers, bees snuffling among the petals and even geckos lapping up nectar." "This is a glorious and informative book that should be picked up from the coffee table and used to discover what a wonderful, surprising world we live in."
