I love National Geographic magazine, both for the fascinating articles, and for the truly amazing photography. Lots of people grow up wanting to be National Geographic photographers :-)

This book is a collection of some of the best photos in NGM – mostly fairly recent work though. It gives a good flavor to the kinds of things that they shoot a lot, and is broken in to sections – Europe, Asia, Africa & the mid east, America, The Sea, and space.

Although all the images are stunning, there doesn’t feel like there’s much cohesion in the book as a whole – it’s a collection of individual pieces, whereas in The Art of Seeing, it all flows together somehow. Can’t quite put my finger on it.

Recommended, especially if you like NGM photography.
