It isn't even Halloween yet, but we've already discovered a front-runner in the search for the perfect holiday gift: Creature, an eye-opening new book from New York City-based photographer and filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman. The coffee-table tome features 300 pages of arrestingly detailed photographs of wild animals—from a dramatic African crested porcupine and a playful Asian elephant to the elegant timber wolf and the smiling wild boar—all taken, unbelievably, in Zuckerman's Chelsea studio (check out www.creaturebook.com for a great video of the shoot). In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, Creature is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful, giving a new visual perspective on some of the world's endangered species. It's a must at any time of year.
Creature, by Andrew Zuckerman, published by Chronicle Books, $60, available November 1. Pre-order at www.chroniclebooks.com.
