Photographer Mattias Klum takes us into the soul of the Borneo rainforest. Patiently waiting behind blinds, shooting from platforms high in the trees, or skimming above the forest canopy in a hot air balloon, Klum has captured the mystery, beauty, and complexity of Borneo's renowned but virtually impassable Danum Valley. He mounted the Borneo expedition to photograph the rainforest as it really is: filled with darkness and shadows shot through with streaks of light. Teeming with life, the rainforest promises unexpected encounters with creatures large and small, as its jungle of trees and undergrowth reach for the sky in infinite shades of green. Klum's keen lens captures it all. From a bizarre bearded pig to the increasingly rare Low's pitcher plant, from the king cobra to the delicate damselfly, Borneo Rainforest shows us an ancient, complex, irreplaceable ecosystem. Passionate descriptions and a journal of the expedition's events round out this homage to an extraordinary place.

An action-packed and hilarious animal fantasy adventure from New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist Eliot Schrefer, “this new series stunner” (Kirkus starred review) will thrill fans of Warriors and Spirit Animals. Caldera has forever been divided into the animals who walk by night and those who walk by day. Nightwalker panthers, like young Mez and her sister, have always feared daywalkers as creatures of myth and legend. Then Mez discovers that she can enter the daylight world, and she rushes to discover what it means to cross the Veil—and the extent of her newly uncovered magical powers—before a reawakened evil threatens everything she’s ever known. Now, with an unlikely group of animal friends—including a courageous bat, a scholarly tree frog, and an anxious monkey—Mez must unravel an ancient mystery and face her greatest fears, if they are to have any hope of saving their endangered rainforest home.
