Book Overview

The New Earth From Above: 365 Days is now fully revised and updated. Reaching across the continents, from the icebergs of Antarctica to the cotton fields of India, the breathtaking, full-color photographs are accompanied by informative new text that describes the environmental concerns related to each location. Each chapter of the book opens with an insightful introduction by a different noted author who addresses a subject critical to the future of our planet: agriculture, biodiversity, sustainable development, energy, forests, water, and global warming. This edition includes 60 new and unpublished photos taken by Arthus-Bertrand over the past few years. The text throughout the book is revised to reflect changes in the world since the last publication, and includes three new authors: the heads of WWF France and the Observatory of Renewable Resources, and the president of Alter Eco, a fair trade firm. Yann Arthus-Bertrand's powerful aerial photographs reveal the incidental beauty of our planet and are reminders of our capacity to save or destroy it. This description may be from another edition of this product.

earth from above: 366 days

My husband and I love this book. We look at it every day. The text may be depressing, but it's a wake-up call to the destruction of beautiful areas like the ones depicted. The pictures are absolutely stunning and you will be astounded that there are such places in the world.

Inspiring images for many musings

As in Arthus Bertrand's previous editions of this sort his images are magnificant; and this volume continues that tradition. Aerial images from around the world--some urban, some landmarks, some purely natural, the diversity is welcomed, and the global key helps tremendously in locating oneself along his journey. For anyone looking for visual, graphical, and/or a natural image bank for inspiration this is a book to have,...

Breathtaking Pictures

This is a really beautiful book and the author did some extensive research when compiling this book (it took him over a decade). The accompanying text is not very lengthy but the pictures are awesome and breathtaking. This is a wonderful book and great for coming up with ideas for your next vacation.

World's beauty vs. some of the factual realities

This unusual book lets you select your worldview by looking either to the left or to the right. The images on the left-hand pages are shockingly beautiful views of the surface of the earth from about 100 feet above. Images are often more abstract and graphic than one would expect. The right side pages are only text, often telling the stories of poverty, overpopulation and environmental contamination. Both are legitimate...
