Brilliant
21 Dec 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book like many picture/coffee table books has brilliant, mesmorizing photos. The book however has one lovely difference, it often has comparitive/contrasting photos on opposite pages. For example, a photo of women sitting together at an italian celebration and has a photo on the opposite side of asian women at a celebration. Providing you with the opportiunity to play what is similar, what is different. Intersperced into the photos are magnificent photos that cover two pages.

One Planet is The One Photography Book for the Classroom
20 July 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a high school yearbook/photography teacher and I bought this book in addition to several others so I would have some examples of great photos to inspire my students. Turns out this is the only book I need. Like the other reviewers wrote, the pictures are coupled to show juxtaposition and are beautiful. I especially like the smiling women on pages 138-139 and the contast of man-made and nature-made on pages 202-203. I'm going to gift this book to fellow photography enthusiasts. And maybe buy another copy for the classroom.

lust for travel
23 Jan 2007
Format:Hardcover
Beautiful pictures - each page is juxtaposed visually with opposite picture on a page intertwined with a subtle theme- eg. desert sand with yellow ridge stripes is opposite of a shot of zebra - both pictures have a theme of contrasting stripes. A aesthetic wonder to behold. I just bought National Georaphic Wide Angle book and was utterly disappointed. Very nice production and excellent value buy.
