Overview: A New Perspective of Earth

A stunning and unique collection of satellite images of Earth that offer an unexpected look at humanity, derived from the wildly popular Daily Overview Instagram project.

Inspired by the “Overview Effect”—a sensation that astronauts experience when given the opportunity to look down and view the Earth as a whole—the breathtaking, high definition satellite photographs in OVERVIEW offer a new way to look at the landscape that we have shaped. More than 200 images of industry, agriculture, architecture, and nature highlight incredible patterns while also revealing a deeper story about human impact. This extraordinary photographic journey around our planet captures the sense of wonder gained from a new, aerial vantage point and creates a perspective of Earth as it has never been seen before.

网友对Overview: A New Perspective of Earth的评论

此书的目的在于唤起人们对于地球环境和人类影响的关注,使用大量精美的,高清晰的卫星或航拍图片,收纳了世界各地的著名或动人景观。我在翻开书的那一刻就被惊艳到了,大部分图片不仅震撼而且给人以艺术的享受。总之是一本茶余饭后或者睡前或者喝咖啡喝茶的时候的很好的读物。里面还有故宫我会乱说?

印刷质量为铜板纸印刷,图片清晰精美。
都是英文,看不懂,冲着图片买的。
下载个翻译软件,配合着图片信息才能明白想要表达的信息。
从不同的角度,了解地球的概况。
为什么没有中文版本的呢?

印刷很精美,图片很清晰,好厚一本。值得购买。

This is a gorgeous, information-packed book, full of high resolution satellite images that would make astounding wall art. But this is not your average coffee-table book...it's an incredible and unique view of the world. Despite my decades of work in the environmental sciences, this book provided new insights, showing man's ecological, architectural, and terra-forming impacts -- for better and worse -- in ways that I had never seen before. It drove home to me what amazing things humans are capable of, how resilient and resourceful we are, and also how destructive we can be, in ways that even the best environmental writing can't always communicate. The balance between text and photos is perfect: enough to clearly explain each photo, but not so much as to get in the way of the amazing images. The text does not impose a particular point of view on the reader, but you will certainly have opinions as you fly through it. The geographic coordinates for each photo are a wonderful inclusion, too: you can easily use Google Earth to provide even greater context for the photos that intrigue you the most. For those who think or worry or are hopeful about the future of humanity on Planet Earth, this book has tremendous immediacy.

I am blown away by the beauty of this book! I bought it as a present for my husband who loves space, but now we both can't put it down! It is museum quality art on our coffee table and it is now our favorite book in our home!

I'm enjoying the book and the author's, Benjamin Grant, perspective on the seeing the earth in a different views which mimics my own. People can now see our earth in another way more over see how they are treating our earth. I appreciate when you put the picture in contexts of size meaning when you note that the picture is 3 square miles or see the commercial aircraft in the corner for perspective of size of the image. I think this would be a great book for use in our public education system.

I just received my copy of "Overview: A New Perspective of Earth" by Benjamin Grant and am beyond pleased with what I see. This interesting and detailed view of the workings and Nature of our world is both humbling and uplifting at the same time. And the photography is exquisite! It is true that I needed to really search deeply to be able to identify what some of the photos represent, and that has made the journey into this book all the more interesting. It is a perspective we rarely, if ever, are privy to, and Ben has compiled an never-ending story of what and how we live. I enthusiastically recommend this book!

I started following Overview on Instagram and the day Benjamin Grant announced that he had compiled all of all these fabulous photos into a book that could now be pre-ordered, I was so excited that I did just that! The "Overview Effect" had me hooked! The pictures that he has captured of our earth that portray the patterns and colors of what we humans have designed, built, planted, harvested, all from a perspective that I have never experienced before, simply captivated me! I love that I now have all these gorgeous, intriguing pictures in a beautiful book!
