Product Description
The book takes the reader from the time National Geographic's first editor and president began collecting pictures, until today, with important photography still being created as energetically as ever. Two thoughtful essays introduce the book, giving varying perspectives on the pictures. Then the book is divided into four themes: 'Wilderness, Exploration and Adventure'; 'Wildlife'; 'Peoples, Cultures and Lifestyles'; and 'Science and Climate Change'. Each section's content and images describe the evolution of photography, both technically and aesthetically. A one hundred page Appendix closes the book and serves as a reference to the entire collection. The appendix is divided into three parts: 'The Special Collections'; 'A Complete List of Subjects'; and 'A Complete List of Photographers'. The Appendix will describe the size, range and character of all aspects of the National Geographic Picture Collection and will feature brief biographies of photographers whose work is represented.

If you are just going to have one book to display this, for me ,is the one . It's packed with photos from the dawn of photography to present day digital images. Whether you want to simply dip in or study it for an hour it never fails to leave you with an appreciation of nature and the world's diversity and beauty.

This book is the best of all photography books I have ever had my eyes on. I have a collection of over 200 photographic books. This book is one of the best if not THE BEST! It is a real gold mine of photographic deligth and a incredible source of inspiration. A lot of photographic books are good but what makes this book GREAT is the 'never published before photos'. A thrill for the eye and a treasure for any serious photographer. Thank you National Geographic!
