My Review
A different perspective of the earth around us shows its true beauty where it may never had been seen. The area covered in obtaining these photos, taken all by one man, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, is amazing on its own. The variety and beauty of the land is extraordinary.

The result of a five-year airborne odyssey across five continents and 60 countries, Earth from Above is the most revealing and spectacular portrait of our world ever created.

Everest and Mammoth Hot Springs, renowned aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand presents striking color images that put our home planet in a whole new perspective. Produced under the sponsorship of UNESCO, the book is also a documentary record of the state of the world's fragile environment.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand on Wikipedia
Yann Arthus-Bertrand (born March 13, 1946) is a renowned and internationally-recognised French photographer. He originally specialised in animal photography, but later turned to aerial photography of subjects in many locations across the world. He has produced over 60 books of his landscape photographs taken from helicopters and balloons. Yann Arthus-Bertrand's work has often been published in the National Geographic magazine.
His works have both political and aesthetic connotations, and have been exhibited in public spaces all over the world.
In 1991, he founded the Altitude Agency in Paris, a photographic library that specializes in aerial photography. It is the only one of its kind.
In 2000, Arthus-Bertrand created an exhibition with a collection of 100,000 photographs taken in 76 countries which make up his Earth from the Air exhibit. Some of these have been published in his book 365 days: Earth from the Air and exhibited in London, Singapore, Poland, The Netherlands, Finland and elsewhere.
Arthus-Bertrand is a member of the "Académie des Beaux-Arts de l'Institut de France".
One of Arthus-Bertrand's most well-known photographs is of the 'heart' of Voh in New Caledonia, which he has used as the cover of several of his books: The Earth from the Air and Earth from Above.
