Face off

Come “face to face with the world’s largest predators” in Giants,
the follow-up to Nigel Marven’s British TV series of the same name. It has
beautiful photos of Marven with boas, bears, some birds, sharks, lizards and,
for all the arachnophobes out there, big tarantulas. Behind the beasts and their
individual stories, there is some biology and conservation concerns. Published
by HarperCollins, £14.99, ISBN 0002201577.
