A few months ago when we spoke to science writer Leonie Joubert about getting published in National Geographic for the first time, she mentioned that her piece on the Kalahari would never have made it to print without the magnificent work of the photographer Thomas Peschak.

Now he has put together a collection of around 200 of his favourite images which have been released in a gorgeous hardcover book called Wild Seas.
