Image after image, nature is unveiled in all its beauty and glory: from water, fire and foam to ice and stone; from the infinitely vast to the infinitely small; from the snow-capped volcanoes of Kamtchatka, to the icebergs of Greenland; from the icy Artic nights when the aurora borealis dances across the sky to the blazing hot nights of the Australian desert; from the exuberant vegetation of a tropical forest to the harshness of rocky wasteland. Olivier Grunewald's aw e-inspiring photographs are accompanied by excerpts from poems, travel journals, comments from scientists, and philosophical thoughts by well-known figures such as Charles Baudelaire, Socrates, Wilfred Thesiger, Jean Malaurie, Robert Hainard, Theodore Monod and Marcel Conche, amongst others.

Olivier Grunewald, professional photographer, and Bernadette Gilbertas, journalist and writer, have been travelling the world for twenty years driven by their passion for nature and its diverse wildlife. Their joint work has been published internationally in Le Figaro Magazine, GEO, Grands Reportages, BBC Wildlife and Focus amongst others. They were awarded the prestigious World Press Photo for their report on leatherback tortoises in 1995, and their work on the aurora borealis in 2002. Nature brings together the most spectacular photographs of their joint travels.
