This is truly an amazing book, one for every coffee table. I have many atlas's, but one with Satellite images next to a map is fantastic. It could be more complete with every country, but still, an amazing book to flick thru with a hot Latte in hand.
Great coffee table book.The hologram images on the cover set the trend for the rest of the book. A satellite image is compared to a corresponding cartographical map of the same area.All the great cities of the world are included ... New York, Los Angeles, New Dehli, London, Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, etc.The book dramatically highlights the damaging effects of the greenhouse effect, plus the recent Aceh Tsunami.DK books continue their great pictorial format/standard. This book has enough maps covering the world, to be classed as an atlas.
If you've had an atlas as a coffee table book, then this is even better. Maps and satellite photos get quiet little oohs and ahhs, and parents can show the pictures to the kids and keep them sitting quietly while you get the coffee and cookies for your guests. Provides non-controversial topics for conversation, and doesn't embarrass anyone by revealing too much of your interests or your family members.
I'm quite impressed with this book. I found it for $10 at Barnes and Noble. To me, the analogy is like finding a $200,000 Ferrari for $50,000. The book's pictures are really high-quality and are accompanied by a nice history/geography lesson. I'm also surprised that there were around 10 or so left of this book in the bargain section. Buy up!p.s. I'm going to write the exact same for Earthcam as I truly feel the same way although this might sound silly. :-)Brian
