WIDE ANGLE - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC GREATEST PLACES
Mere words even superlatives don't do justice to this extraordinary book; its 260 breathtaking photographs defy description and demand to be explored with the same inspired intensity that they bring to their wonderful portrait of our world. Culled from among the millions of images in National Geographic's vast visual archive and capturing a dazzling variety of scenes from every corner of the Earth, Wide Angle is every bit as panoramic as its title suggests, a superb collection of landscapes and cityscapes, familiar views, and unknown vistas alike brought to new and vivid life.
In these pages we visit every continent and the oceans that both separate and link them, in the company of some of the world's early photographers to such modern masters as Sam Abell, William Albert Allard, Jodi Cobb, and many more. Each of the book's twelve chapters focuses on a particular region, its natural splendors and wildlife, its peoples and their cultures; each is introduced by a thoughtful essay by Ferdinand Protzman, who reflects upon the art of photography and its many layers of meaning
