Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. has released (May 28, $34.99) “The
Sinister Beauty of Carnivorous Plants” by Matthew M. Kaelin -- a showcase and detail
of these deadly beauties.
The seductive nature of carnivorous plants is on display in “The
Sinister Beauty of Carnivourous Plants,” an art collection of
botanical photography.
Over 140 color images show minute detail of the species,
hybrids, and cultivars from around the world cultivated by the author, as well
as the local native carnivorous plants in their natural habitats on Long Island, N.Y.
The photography is accompanied by information relating to the plants’ genus,
specie, common names, ranges, and conservation status.
Additional sections feature equipment and growing conditions he
used for the cultivation of his various specimens, the creative display of
these plants, his observations of wild carnivorous plants in nature, the
current threats they face to survival in their natural habitats, and the
conservation organizations that are working to protect them. This book will
appeal to those with the interests of the fine arts, photography, horticulture,
natural history and nature conservation.
