Among the eight illustrated books that leapt out at me, Endangered won the long jump. On the cover, a crowned sifaka lemur tightly clutches its knees, citrine eyes staring with alien intensity. Inside is a virtuosic gallery of species at the edge: the bulbous topography of a hippos face; Mexican free-tailed bats slicing up the sky; a long-range shot of a polar bear curled in snow, white on white. Complementing Tim Flachs hyper-stylised images are commentary by Jonathan Baillie, the National Geographic Societys chief scientist, and writer Sam Wells. ---- Nature.com
