Présentation de l'éditeur

Since he started the project in 1990, Arthus-Bertrand has worked to bring to light not only the beauty of our planet, but also its fragility and our responsibility to preserve it. His powerful aerial photography and insightful commentary is a testament to humanity's duty to our home, the Earth. Now, Abrams are proud to present this signed, numbered, limited edition of one of the most loved and bestselling illustrated books of all time. This awesome title comes with a wooden dislay stand, making this as much a work of art as a book of amazing photography. The large format present's Arthus-Bertrand's Photographs at a scale where their most intimate details can at last be seen. Earth From Above: Limited Edition presents one hundred of the photographer s best-loved images, including previously unpublished work.
