and ecologist THOMAS WIEWANDT blends art and science
to reveal the mystery, beauty, and complexity of the natural
world. His films for the National Geographic Society and the
BBC have earned him an Emmy Nomination in cinematography, a
Gold Apple Award, and four Cine Golden Eagles; and his children's
book Hidden Life of the Desert (Random House/Crown, 1990)
made the John Burroughs List of Outstanding Nature Books for
Young Readers. His work has also been featured in many books,
calendars, and magazines worldwide, including Audubon, Arizona
Highways, Smithsonian, National Wildlife, Geo, and publications
by the National Geographic Society.

of Arizona; PhD, Cornell), and serves on the IUCN Species
Survival Commission for endangered iguanas. He lives in the
desert foothills west of Tucson. His self-published, award-winning book The Southwest Inside Out grew from more
than a decade of leading photographic workshops and natural
history tours in the Southwest.
