Book Overview

From Earth we have looked deep into the universe, embarking on a journey of discovery that has revealed the cosmos to be richer than we could ever imagine. But what happens when we reverse the process, when we look back on Earth from the heavens? We see a familiar planet from a new perspective.

Like Abstract Expressionist Art !

I purchased this book to use the images as inspiration for abstract paintings in my art classes. I teach middle school, and I'm always looking for ways to connect art and the students' academic classes. Beautiful photographs! I ended up purchasing more than one book!

The most amazing book I have EVER seen

These are some of the most beautiful, rare, exquisite images ever captured on or near the surface of our planet-- this is true art. My girlfriend bought this for me as a gift and I can honestly say I have never been more captivated. Everyone I show it to is equally awed, stunned and astounded-- each two-page spread is museum-worthy. These are not mere photographs: they are false-color, distorted, artistic and abstract mazes that are endlessly fascinating (and trippy as hell). BUY THIS BOOK AT ANY COST. It is the most beautiful collection of images I know of, and I've not seen one of them before. I cannot express how fantastic they are. JUST BUY IT!!
