Untamed Atlantic Canada

Spanning 1,200 kilometers from New Brunswick's Passamaquoddy Bay to Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, Atlantic Canada stands as a nexus between North America and the North Atlantic Ocean. Its diverse geography, variable climate, and surrounding ocean currents coalesce to create a rich medley of habitats both on the land and in the sea. There are currently eight thousand known species in this little corner of the world, and award-winning nature photographer Scott Leslie has captured a beautiful selection of them on these pages. In Untamed Atlantic Canada, discover the stunning array of animals living in the region--from elusive black foxes, to clouds of semi-palmated sandpipers, and endangered right whales--through 140 color images with detailed, narrative captions. This photographic collection is perfect for seasoned naturalists and novice nature lovers alike.
