Visions of Earth: National Geographic Photographs of Beauty, Majesty, and Wonder (Mini edition)

by National Geographic Society - £11.99  National Geographic Society (2013)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9781426211737 | ISBN 10: 1426211732

Now in a mini edition, for those who like the pocket-size version of a great photography collection, Visions of Earth roams the world, camera in hand, to find amazing images of nature and humanity and their intersection. Inspired by the most popular feature in National Geographic magazine, this trove of photographic riches includes thought-provoking quotes and interesting facts, providing a textual counterpoint to the stunning images.
 
Enthralling images fill the book in a gallery of stunning landscapes, fascinating people, amazing animals, and unexpected glimpses of the usual and unusual. Puffins' beaks signal breeding time in Norway and a speckled emperor moth in South Africa diverts predators with an illusion. An elephant takes a morning dip in India's Andaman Sea while Siamese crocodiles race in Thailand and surfers in Australia relish a perfect day. Monks in Bhutan run to dinner and a little girl in red stands out among white-robed women in an Indonesian mosque. Spanish youth decked in colorful, oversize papier-mâché heads celebrate a festival in Catalonia and a flower of flame blooms from a man's kerosene-filled mouth in a Sikh celebration in India.
 
Around the globe, amazing moments are captured in time, from a spray of flash frozen petal fragments in California to a truck show of chrome-covered and gleaming neon rigs half the world away in Japan. Visions of Earth is a welcome escape from the news of natural disasters, conflict, political upheaval, and social unrest that fills our lives. The book delights our senses, ignites our emotions, and renews our optimism, showcasing the many ways that our world is a marvel to behold and a privilege to call home.
