While it is true that Brandenburg is a tremendous photographer and the majority of photos are simply breathtaking. I returned my copy because the datebook also contained disturbing photos of dead wildlife. I'm very tender when it comes to wildlife, and while I know that death is a natural part of the life cycle, I am disturbed by dead wildlife and would never chose a book or datebook containing such pictures. For anyone who is animal sensitive and dislikes any death photos, then this IS NOT the book for them. Otherwise, I would recommend it.
