Description
In over 400 spectacular, full-colour photographs, Piotr Naskrecki brings us eye to eye with the smaller majority - the 99 percent of animal life that is smaller than a human finger. "The Smaller Majority" takes us on an unforgettable visual journey into the often overlooked world cloaked by a leaf, camouflaged on the surface of a rock, or even trapped underfoot. These organisms, many captured by camera here for the first time, are critical to the biodiversity of the tropics and to the life of our planet.
