Wet and dry: Jack Dykinga’s stunning photographs of America’s Mojave Desert
and Death Valley in Desert (Harry Abrams, $49.50, ISBN
0810932385) are a feast of extraordinary colours. Scarlet and pink sunsets and
sunrises set the red and purple desert alight. The world’s seas will cool you
after the desert, but Jeffrey Rotman’s subjects will chill. In Sharks!
(Ipso facto, $44.95, ISBN 1893263029), his stunning closeups capture tiny
details.
