Fancy a face-to-face with the world’s largest predators? Try Giants,
the book that accompanies biologist Nigel Marven’s television series. Beautiful
photos of Marven with boas, bears, birds, sharks, lizards and—beware,
arachnophobes—huge tarantulas. Behind the beasts and their tales lies a
little biology and a bit of conservation. Published by HarperCollins,
£14.99, ISBN 0002201577.
