Earth From Above

The big perspective

To change your perspective on things, go up and look down. This volume has a portfolio of aeriel views similar to the Georg Gester classics, Grand Design and Below from Above, but without those books’ lyrical elegance. There’s wider variety here, blunter politics (clear-cutting, ugh!), and more of the Earth’s bioregions covered.
