Book Description
This Cubebook is dedicated to the beautiful forms and patterns the earth presents to the eye from above: here are views of landforms on every continent in photographs that arouse awe for our planet. The original artist is actually the large-scale forces of nature that have created our most spectacular landscapes, but many images include human patterns sometimes interwoven into the land as farms and towns.
Photographs have been selected for their visual impact, and enhanced by a design that immerses readers in the natural beauty of our planet from a new perspective, in views that make them even more wondrous and spectacular. This around-the-world view includes commentary from Alberto Bertolazzi that shines with passion and humor.
