For more than 25 years, Earth from Above has changed the way millions of readers see the planet--revealing its extraordinary beauty while underscoring its fragility.
This fully updated anniversary edition builds on that legacy with new photography and refreshed text, offering a powerful and visually immersive portrait of our world today.
Created over decades of travel across five continents and 60 countries, this landmark volume brings together sweeping aerial images that capture Earth at a scale few people ever experience firsthand.
From natural landscapes to human-altered environments, each photograph invites readers to see the planet as a connected system--at once breathtaking, complex, and increasingly at risk.
This expanded edition features a significant selection of new images alongside updated commentary, reflecting how environmental challenges--and our understanding of them--have evolved over time. The result is not just a photography book, but a visual narrative that pairs striking imagery with a clear, contemporary perspective on sustainability and global change.
Designed in a large-format, highly giftable package, Earth from Above is both a collector's keepsake and a compelling visual experience. Whether you're a longtime admirer or discovering it for the first time, this edition offers a renewed reason to engage with one of the most influential photography projects of its kind--one that continues to inspire awe while prompting reflection on the future of our planet.
