Dynasties: The Rise and Fall of Animal Families - Stephen Moss

Post by Louis Walles »

Title of the book: Dynasties: The Rise and Fall of Animal Families

Authors: Stephen Moss

Genres: Nature/non-fiction

Short summary of the story:
The book features seven different animal families - lions, gorillas, wild dogs, tigers and penguins. Stephen Moss worked closely with David Attenborough to create one of the most beautiful and detailed story about the meaning of families in the wild.

Good points / bad points:
I bought this book ages ago and never thought about reading it. For Book Bingo, I decided to read it and I was truly amazed at the details and the photographs included in the book. It was incredible to read about the close bonds within the families of wild animals.
