Editorial Reviews

Review

New York Times Bestseller

"This is perhaps one of the most meaningful books for photographers to include their personal collection.  Through the words and unbelievably beautiful images one gets an intense summary course in the field of photography....Outstanding!" --Apogee Photo Magazine

"'Stunning' is an overused word, but it's the only way to describe these photos." --Twin Cities Pioneer Press

"An inspirining collection....There's an unusual diversity in style, theme and subject between the covers of this book. That diversity inspires us to stop running around and look around a minute." --Mike Pisani, Photo Corners

Shipping method needs to be improved, damaged books upon arrival
I ordered two of these. The first came with a damaged (creased/bent) cover.The second book was worse! It came with a creased cover AND damaged corners.This was supposed to be a gift and now, I'm stuck with nothing. I have to process a refund for the second one, now. How would I give this to someone knowing it looks like garbage and they would not want to display it?

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a landscape book: Truly stunning, diverse collection of photos with an international flair
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
OK, now THIS is a coffee table book! The quality of the photos, on semi-gloss paper, is superb ... every little detail is clear and the colors pop. The photos are big, too--either a two page spread or a one-and-a-half page spread for each with no margin (full page) or a narrow white margin. It certainly "feels" bigger than its dimensions (10.3 x 1.3 x 10.2 inches).

Although this is currently #1 in landscape photography books, it is much more than that. Yes, there are many landscapes, but there are also gorgeous photos of people, birds & animals & other wildlife, sea creatures, sporting events & unique local events, festivals and traditions, such as the Holi festival in India, where "celebrants douse each other with colored powder." They really are stunning.

The photos are broken into the following categories (and there's lots of variety in each section and in the book as a whole):

- Mystery
- Harmony
- Wit (one of my favorite sections--see Kieran Doherty's photo of competitors in the UK Cold Water Swimming Championship--fabulous)
- Discovery
- Energy
- Intimacy

My only problem with this book is that I bought it as a gift... but don't want to give it away. Looks like I'll be buying a second copy. :-)

The media could not be loaded.
 El libro es muy bueno (es la segunda vez que lo compro), pero viene en pésimas condiciones. Todas las esquinas rotas o arrugadas, una de ellas incluso tiene cinta adhesiva.
Se supone que es un libro nuevo...deja mucho que desear de Amazon y la tienda donde lo compré, SUGIERO NO COMPRAR AQUÍ. Precio y condiciones del producto no se equiparan.

The book is really good (it’s the second time that I bought it), but comes in awful conditions. All the corners are damaged, wrinkled, even one of it has tape.
It supposed that this was a new book...
I recommend not to buy in this store or even Amazon, it’s too expensive to this quality...

The photographs included in the latest National Geographic Book (Stunning Photographs) edited by Annie Griffiths are truly stunning! I can give 10 gold stars to the entire book as well as to each one of the fine images. The book has been out exactly a month today and already it has become the best seller in photojournalism. What a great achievement by National Geographic! This book would make a perfect gift for this Christmas! People of all ages can really enjoy reading the book for sure!

Stunning is a perfect adjective for the photographs in this book. I love that they not only include the photographs but quotes along with them. Beautiful book altogether... I can sit for an hour just savoring it. Highly recommend. I also purchased "Rarely Seen" but those photos are, as stated, thing that are rarely seen and just really cool... but this one is more jaw-dropping awe-inspiring.

This book is filled with, well, exactly what the title describes. It contains an amazing selection of photos from Nat Geo's archives and I actually ended up reading through the entire book in a single sitting. I've found it makes for a great coffee table book, as people actually pick it up and read it while we're all hanging out in the living room. Very cool and worth the purchase price.

Gorgeous coffee table book with full color photos of some of the most intriguing spots on earth. I enjoy photography and bought this to see if it would inspire me. It did. Makes a great gift for anyone who likes to travel by airplane or arm chair. I put it out where it can be browsed frequently by me, friends, and family.

Aún no recibo este libro, pero por experiencia al comprar otros productos de Nat Geo estoy seguro que es muy bueno.

Las fotos que muestran son producto de cosas que nuestro cerebro nunca imaginaria que existen.
Es un buen tesoro para recordar lo hermoso que tiene este planeta para mostrarnos y que poco a poco hemos exterminado y agotando.

Buen recuerdo para la posteridad.
