"Adam Forsyth writes knowledgeably and succinctly about his subjects [...] The photographs in this book are nicely variegated – a mountain lion with mouth agape in a growl, a lazy seal with half-open eyes, a hoary marmot poised on a rock to take an alpine sniff."
- Washington Post, 1999-12-05

"A gorgeous coffee-table book [...] No mere photo essay, this is an easy-to-read, yet encyclopedic look at 150 species by an eminent biodiversity scientist who, though working at the Smithsonian now, was born and raised in Ottawa. Bottom Line: Learn a lot and like it."
- Harrowsmith, Truly Canadian Almanac
