With just the two guides available, the odd fiction book and no travel literature of note, I'd certainly be happy to have an informed, anecdotal account of travel in the country available, especially one so strikingly illustrated; the landscape and scale of its features are extraordinary.... The final pages are a must-have... '(Alex) 'The photos are of course beautiful and appropriate.' (Jean) 'It hardly needs to be said, but I'm highly impressed by the design of the book - magnifique!' (Jon) 'I think the dummy book is tremendous.... Overall I think it is fascinating, and in places awe inspiring.... such a grand and worthwhile exercise...' (Simon)

Te Papa Press Nature Stilled
Book SynopsisThe Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa holds over one million items in its vast natural history collection. Award-winning photographer Jane Ussher spent several days capturing their astonishing beauty and power, and the result is a stunningly photographed and beautifully packaged book.Trade Review'People say "stunning" lightly but that's really what it felt like, the first time I opened Nature - Stilled. There is no flicking through. You sit and you look properly and it is a pleasure, to pause like this over images, to be still' - Catherine Woulfe, Spinoff Books; '... awe-inspiring volume.' - North & South; 'Despite having a luminary photographer guiding the project this Nature-Stilled is more than a photography book. This beautifully conceived document is an opportunity to learn about the natural history of New Zealand beyond the museum's displays.' - Design Assembly; 'Ussher, and the Te Papa Press team, have created a true treasure, bringing these pieces of history out into the light' - NZ Booklovers; '... an astonishingly beautiful volume of both great scientific and aesthetic interest' - Scoop; 'An impressive 364 page volume Nature - Stilled is generous and inclusive. Photographs of the various members of ten different species make up the photographic sections which are the bulk of the book, with an introduction by Ussher and a text section at the back where the Te Papa natural history team give a description of each image in non-scientific language. This is clearly a book designed to interest the general public in what Te Papa have behind the scenes. The work put into producing such an impressive tome is clear, and it is obvious that all involved put a great deal of care and love into this book' - Caroline McQuarrie, photoforum. Author feature in Canvas, NZ Herald, 10 October 2020. “A stunning book, with subtle and defining features throughout. Jane Ussher’s careful yet expressive photography has been treated with immaculate production and sensitivity.” - 2021 PANZ Book Design Awards commentTable of Contents007 Introduction 011 Chromatic Plates 313 Species Information 314 Birds, Colin Miskelly 321 Bryozoans, Rick Webber 322 Cnidarians, Rick Webber 325 Crustaceans, Rick Webber 328Echinoderms, Rick Webber 334 Fishes, Andrew Stewart 344 Insects, Phil Sirvid 353 Molluscs, Rodrigo Salvador 358 Plants, Antony Kusabs / Bridget Hatton 364 Collection Ephemera 366 About the Photographer 367 Acknowledgements
