Description
Natural scenery-whether mountain peaks against a crystal blue sky, shimmering expanses of ocean or desert, or the perfection of a moss-laden path-affects us deeply, by turns eliciting joy, peace, awe, and a state of grace. Sublime Nature collects images that inspire these emotions, culled from the archives of the world's leading photographers. Award-winning photojournalist and conservationist Cristina Mittermeier adds context, offering readers a visceral connection to the natural universe. Filled with breathtaking images, Sublime Nature captures our special relationship with nature in all its incarnations, inspiring us to protect its future.
Reviews / Votes
"One [image] more stunning than the next." --The Boston Globe"The book as a whole is like a meditation tool - pick it up, open to any page, and just simply enjoy." --Mother Nature Network
"Founder of the International League of Conservation Photographers Cristina Mittermeier has been given access to National Geographic's archive to select images depicting the awe-inspiring and beautiful forms of nature. The spectacular selection includes images by Paul Nicklen, Art Wolfe and Hans Strand, and are complemented by quotes from recognised figures connected to the natural world, including Henry David Thoreau, John Muir and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Divided into four chapters loosely linked to the four seasons, Mittermeier's poetic text at the beginning of each section promotes preservation of our planet and its precious resources - an ethos aligned with her own life mission." --Outdoor Photography
