I purchased this book to use the images as inspiration for abstract paintings in my art classes. I teach middle school, and I'm always looking for ways to connect art and the students' academic classes. Beautiful photographs! I ended up purchasing more than one book!

These are some of the most beautiful, rare, exquisite images ever captured on or near the surface of our planet-- this is true art. My girlfriend bought this for me as a gift and I can honestly say I have never been more captivated. Everyone I show it to is equally awed, stunned and astounded-- each two-page spread is museum-worthy. These are not mere photographs: they are false-color, distorted, artistic and abstract mazes that are endlessly fascinating (and trippy as hell). BUY THIS BOOK AT ANY COST. It is the most beautiful collection of images I know of, and I've not seen one of them before. I cannot express how fantastic they are. JUST BUY IT!!
