Customer Rating: 
Summary: Wonderful
Comment: This book is great, and filled with photographs you probably won't find anywhere else. The photographs are diverse and often truly astonishing. You will often find yourself staring at a photograph for a long time in amazement.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Thought-provoking beauty
Comment: I, too, saw an outdoor exhibition of the photos from this book and also could not resist buying it, even though I had to lug it all the way from Vienna around Austria and then back to San Francisco! But it was worth it! I think is more interesting than the "Earth from Above" series, since the images are unusual and all come with a detailed explanation of the cultural or ecological meaning they convey.

Summary: I saw the exhibition in London...
Comment: I was wandering along my way to the Natural History museum and I found that outside there was a photo exhibit. Massive prints from this book were displayed, and the work is excellent. After seeing it I was compelled to buy the book. The photos are beautiful and it is certainly worth it.

The aerial photographs in this collection, often taken from a low altitude, show landscapes, dwellings, coasts, forests, and animals. They reveal the imprint of human civilization on the face of the globe, recording the impact of population and the world industrial economy.
