In the coffee table book "Steve McCurry: Animals" by TASCHEN, we discover another side of the famous photographer who skillfully explores the complex relationship of animals with people and the environment.

Tenderness abounds, especially in scenes of unkempt street dogs sleeping contentedly next to a human. But there is also a kind of essential loneliness, where animals belong to no one and just wander through life with only their survival instinct as their guide. We witness camels caught in the crossfire during the first Gulf War; a shepherd from northern Pakistan tenderly feeding his goats; Beverly Hills designer dogs; racehorses on a rooftop in Hong Kong; elephants in Thailand and more images McCurry selected from his vast archives.

From an elephant resting lovingly on its owner's shoulder to a dog being ridden on the back of a bicycle through the ruins of Kabul - Steve McCurry's images tell a thousand stories, each one a moving lesson in humanity.

Through McCurry's lens, we discover an appreciation for the beauty and quiet dignity of every creature. This kaleidoscopic collection is at once a beautiful travelogue and a moving tribute to the creatures that share our planet.
