There were not much people as animals. Sometimes small & frightened huddling together in cattle cars wounds gaping tongues swelling even as they licked the moist frost from the walls
- each of them wondering if he would be the next to die before reaching the crude operating table... And sometimes brawling robbing & raping as they swept into Hamburg to glut themselves on life for one more day or just one more night... And sometimes they were heroes pushing their way through the Russian lines
- the Legionnaire Sven & Tiny all of them knowing they had lost the war.. .and every last shred of their own humanity.

In Concepts of Nature the author brings together some of his most memorable images from a genre-defining portfolio spanning four continents. Split into three parts Concepts of Nature begins with Visions in which Rouse presents the photographs many published here for the fist time which he feels were the landmarks in his career & in his development from a one big shot specialist to an artist who can capture the whole story of a species & its environment. In Expression he then discusses & illustrates the ideas & techniques that have enabled him to create a series of themed portfolios devoted to a single species or ecosystem -such as those he made in South Georgia & Antarctica.
