Description

Ever wondered what our world looks like from the POV of flying insects?

Through the use of novel photographic techniques fine-tuned over three decades, former zoologist and Cambridge University professor, and professional photographer, John Brackenbury gives us an incredibly unique ‘insect-eye view’ of the world of flying insects.

The photos contained within this exquisite hardback book give readers an unusual perspective – as if flying alongside the insects!

By presenting them in the wider landscape they inhabit, rather than at the end of a close-up lens, the author reinforces the view that even relatively ‘simple’ animals like insects share the same world as human beings.

This theme chimes with current thinking about conservation and the importance of diversity in the natural environment.

Up, Up & Away brings together the experiences of a scientist, a photographer and a natural historian; someone who on the one hand has written scholarly articles on his subject, and on the other gained recognition for his artistic achievements.

Mastery of the air is the supreme achievement of the evolution of insects and the images bring the viewer closer than ever to an experience of the ‘action’. The visual framework forms a convenient basis for discussing some of the ecological, behavioural and physiological aspects of flight in accessible non-technical language.
