One [image] more stunning than the next. --The Boston Globe The book as a whole is like a meditation tool -- pick it up, open to any page, and just simply enjoy. --Mother Nature Network Founder of the International League of Conservation Photographers Cristina Mittermeier has been given access to National Geographic's archive to select images depicting the awe-inspiring and beautiful forms of nature. The spectacular selection includes images by Paul Nicklen, Art Wolfe and Hans Strand, and are complemented by quotes from recognised figures connected to the natural world, including Henry David Thoreau, John Muir and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Divided into four chapters loosely linked to the four seasons, Mittermeier's poetic text at the beginning of each section promotes preservation of our planet and its precious resources - an ethos aligned with her own life mission. --Outdoor Photography
