As a conservation biologist, Piotr Naskrecki spends his time observing some of the smaller animals that inhabit threatened biodiversity hotspots around the globe. Also an accomplished photographer, Naskrecki now shares his images of these tiny creatures, like this armoured spider from the Solomon Islands, in his book The Smaller Majority (Harvard University Press, $35, £21.95). This beautiful book is a welcome reminder that it is not just the larger, furry creatures that are under threat from habitat destruction.
