Gardeners, bee keepers, bird watchers, eco-destination travelers, and more find hope and beauty in “Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change.” Featuring 190 images of super-bloom landscapes and botanical portraits, plus 18 short stories by 16 passionate scientists, environmental leaders, and nature writers, this book serves as a rallying cry to all who love the natural world. It also includes a 25-step, easy-to-follow action guide so anyone can pick one or two things right now, today, and get started making a difference in protecting the fragile wildflower ecosystems that are being threatened by climate change and other human activities. Nonprofit organization Exhibit Envoy is hosting their traveling educational exhibit of the photographs featured in “Beauty and the Beast.”
The book has been honored with the Sierra Club’s 2020 Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography, three IBPA Benjamin Franklin Book Awards (Gold Medal for First Time Book Award – Nonfiction, Silver Medal for Art & Photography, Silver Medal for Nature & Environment), and three Foreword Indies Book Awards (Silver Medal for Coffee Table Book – General, Silver Medal for Regional – Adult Fiction, Bronze Medal for Nature – Adult Nonfiction).
