 Earth
from Above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand (Photographer),
David Baker (Translator), Lester Russell Brown
The result of a five-year airborne odyssey across
five continents and 60 countries, Earth from
Above is a revealing and spectacular portrait
of our world. 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, Arthus-Bertrand presents nearly
200 striking color images that put our home planet in
a whole new perspective.
Produced under the sponsorship of UNESCO, the book
is also a unique documentary record of the earth's fragile
ecosystems at the dawn of the new millennium. Commentaries
by noted specialists illuminate what we see-and explain
exactly what we stand to lose as demographic pressures
put more stress on the environment.

from Above: 365 Days, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Herve
Le Bras, Astrid Avundo, Mar Carruthers
This hefty two-inch-thick picture-a-day book is based
on the original Earth from Above and shows aerial
photographs of the earth. Each day of the year focuses
on a different spot on Earth. The subjects range
from a livestock enclosure in Kenya to a shanty town
in Belem in Brazil; from a detail of a roof of Himeji
Castle to the west of Ogakey Japan to the crosses at
an American cemetery north of Verdon, France. The left-hand
pages of the book feature a description and inset map
of the spot, the right-hand pages feature an aerial
photograph.
