Face to Face - Up Close with Mother Nature is a collection of wildlife author and photographer Al Hornsby's most exciting underwater and topside wildlife encounters, as captured through his camera and words. Organized into The Americas; Africa; and Asia and the Pacific sections, the color and B&W images, most shot at very close range, feature sharks, whales, crocodiles, grizzly bears, leopards, cobras and many more of nature's most lovely and exciting creatures. Key photographs are accompanied by Al's first-person impressions of the encounters that led to the images, which share his feelings and emotions during those oft-times intense, face-to-face moments.

According to the author, "For the big animals - big carnivores in particular - it's my hope the book's images and real-life stories can show that their fearsome reputations as 'blood-thirsty man eaters' are the products of myth and too little real information; that they are instead majestic and beautiful, usually too timid or wary to be approached at all, and even if they show interest in us, it's generally merely simple curiosity. This aside, they play critical roles in virtually all our planet's ecosystems, and they need to be protected. Hopefully, Face to Face can do its small part in communicating just what is at stake should we ultimately fail to adequately respond."

Featuring Asian Geographic's latest book, The Lives of Gobies By Dr Klaus M. Stiefel, follow us on www.asiangeo.com.   “The Lives of Gobies” describes the biology and natural history of the one of the largest families of fishes – the gobies. There are many noteworthy aspects to their biology: they are highly diverse with more than 2000 species, and often live extremely short lives, of only weeks, the shortest known life-spans of all vertebrates. Gobies are also supremely well adapted to live on corals and sponges by matching their hosts in colour and pattern. Shrimp-gobies share burrows with crustaceans and communicate with them in sophisticated ways, while freshwater gobies climb hundred-meter high waterfalls. Finally, some very specialized gobies, the mudskippers, made the step onto land, like our ancestors in Paleozoic times. Written for nature enthusiasts and scuba divers. The information is scientifically cutting-edge, but presented in an easy-going, readable format appealing to interested lay public. The text is complemented with many of the authors own photographs of these fascinating fishes, and goby shots by underwater photo great Marty Snyderman. Dr Klaus M. Stiefel is a biologist, science writer, underwater photographer and scuba instructor based in Dumaguete in the Philippines, where he teaches at Silliman University.
