La Terre vue du ciel : Un portrait aérien de la planète by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
ISBN: 2732444022
Publication Date: 2010
"Arthus-Bertrand, working with the support of UNESCO, has wandered the globe to gather this collection of more than 200 photographs, presented in a folio format. The images are uniformly striking, whether of stalagmite-like fans of algae spreading into the Mediterranean Sea, farmers working their fields in northern India, or destroyed Iraqi tanks littering the deserts of Kuwait. The accompanying text, captions, and short essays by some of France's leading scientists and social critics lend specific depth to the images, which will cheer few readers--but that will shock, and educate, and, with luck, inspire closer attention to the world around us."
Paris vu du ciel by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
ISBN: 2842774043
"With this new edition of its legendary "Paris from the sky", Yann Arthus-Bertrand continues its journey over the capital. It now offers over two hundred unpublished photographs that bear a fresh look at the city, like a dive in the privacy of the streets, rooftops, courtyards, monuments, emphasizing the poetry of each neighborhood."
