Earth from Above

I was recently brought a great book called the Earth from Above by the photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/v2/yab_us.htm. You may have seen some of his work but not known it was by him. I am sure that it has been on display in many public areas including outside the Natural History Museum in London, England. The book shows off his work of the world taken from a helicopter. He manages to capture many places that many of us would not be able to reach and in doing so creates a feeling of insignificance compared to the world.

The book is divided into areas of the world and each photograph has its own small synopsis of where it was taken and how the final image was taken. Its available in pretty much all bookshops I would imagine, and would make a great present to anyone that is interested in the world, photography or both.
