The result of a five-year airborne odyssey across five continents and
60 countries, “Earth from Above” is the most revealing and spectacular
portrait of our world ever created. From a heart-shaped mangrove forest in New
Caledonia to a flock of red ibises in Venezuela, from a caravan of camels in
Mauritania to Mt. Everest and Mammoth Hot Springs, renowned aerial photographer
Yann Arthus-Bertrand presents striking color images that put our home planet in
a whole new perspective. Produced under the sponsorship of UNESCO, the book is
also a documentary record of the state of the world's fragile environment.
This vibrant new edition of the internationally acclaimed original features an
updated design and nearly 60 stunning new photographs. All new captions and the
addition of authoritative new texts by experts in various environmental fields
illuminate Arthus-Bertand's monumental achievement.
