Bad printing quality.

The book is awesome as expected. Special mention for the great packing . It could never get damaged unless it was steam hollered. Thank you

Bought as a birthday present for myself & looked long & hard at which Nat Geographic coffee table book I Would get & believe me, I was not disappointed in choosing this one. Beautiful photographs, which I know I will enjoy looking at time & time again. Already have my favourite from my first look through, I wonder if this will change on my second look through . Stunning & will give me joy for years.

Livro belissimo. Com um acabamento impecavel, este livro nos coloca dentro de cada foto. Recomendo a compra

This is one of the most exciting books that National Geographic has published in recent times. One stunning image after another it lives up to its representation by showing the best photos found in the National Geographic archives. There is little text in this book and it relies heavily on the quality of the images selected. The sample photos and the video only give you a taste of what is between the covers. I must admit that I am biased, because one of my photos is in the book. It was an honor to have one of the only photos I ever sent to National Geographic to be selected by Annie Griffiths to be included in the book. As a photographer, I will be learning from this book for years to come. What makes beauty in a photograph is a question this book answers. It may seem like a small trivial question to some, but Annie gives an elegant answer with some of the most beautiful photos that represent the best of our world. This book helps reaffirm to me that photography can be a medium of how to view this world and live our lives in the simple pursuit of beauty. What greater purpose could a photographer or a person have? It is no wonder to me that the popularity of this book is rising, and I applaud Annie Griffiths for the theme of beauty that opens before your eyes with each turn of the page. When I sit for awhile with this book a quote from George Eliot comes to mind: "The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone." I treasure the moments that each photographer has brought to my eyes.

Le foto sono belle ma tutte tagliate a meta' o a due terzi essendo stampate su due pagine. Le foto sono state selezionate e impaginate tenendone conto ma per me il risultato e' nella maggior parte dei casi infelice e in altri pessimo. Da sfogliare distrattamente puo' andar bene, oppure per chi voglia studiare le foto da un punto di vista tecnico. Sconsigliato invece per chi voglia semplicemente restare incantato guardando delle belle foto.

I bought this book for my dad for Christmas, and it was perfect for him as his hobby is photography. The pictures are beautiful and it had him hooked for a large chunk of the Christmas afternoon (and days following!).
