Synopsis
Extinct & Endangered is a stunning photographic exploration of some of the world's rarest and most threatened insects, revealing their extraordinary beauty while illuminating the urgent crisis of biodiversity loss.
Created in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, this remarkable volume features breathtaking large-format portraits by award-winning macro photographer Levon Biss, whose groundbreaking images uncover details invisible to the naked eye and transform tiny insects into monumental works of art.
Each image is created from thousands of individual photographs, meticulously combined to produce astonishing levels of clarity and detail. Working with specimens selected by scientists from the museum's world-renowned collections, Biss documents 40 extinct and endangered species, from beloved pollinators such as the monarch butterfly and nine-spotted ladybug to some of the world's rarest and most elusive insects.
The result is both a visual masterpiece and a powerful call to action. Through vivid colors, intricate forms, and microscopic details revealed at up to 300 times life size, Extinct & Endangered invites readers to discover the hidden wonders of insects and to reflect on their essential role in sustaining life on Earth.
Filled with awe-inspiring imagery and fascinating scientific insight, this oversized coffee table book celebrates the beauty of the natural world while reminding us of what stands to be lost if these remarkable creatures disappear forever.

Extinct & Endangered (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Extraordinary images by master macro photographer Levon Biss capture a vanishing world of insects from the collections of the American Museum of Natural History in New YorkInsects are at once our most familiar fellow animals and the most mysterious. They appear to be indestructible, but globally, insect species are quietly disappearing in the sixth mass extinction that life on Earth is undergoing today. This joint project of photographer Levon Biss and the American Museum of Natural History contains indelible images of 40 extinct or endangered species in the museums collection, selected from its vast holdings by a team of scientists. They range from imperiled old friends like the monarch butterfly and the nine-spotted ladybug to the remote Lord Howe Island stick insect of Australia, thought to be extinct for most of the 20th century until a tiny population was discovered and bred in captivity in 2001. All were sent to Bisss studio, where he created commanding portraits that can be enlarged 30 times lifesize to reveal vivid full-page details of form and colora world invisible to our naked eyes. The result is a book that insists on the momentous significance of these small, mostly unknown creatures. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781419759635
