This stunning volume was the gift book of the year when it first published, and the images that grace its pages remain iconic. From the famous Afghan girl whose haunting green eyes stare out from the book’s cover, and her poignant story that captured the world’s interest, to award-winning photography culled from the Society’s vast archives, The Photographs offers readers an inside look at National Geographic and a sharp-eyed view of the world. The book showcases the skill and imagination of such notable Geographic photographers as David Doubilet, William Albert Allard, Sam Abell, Jim Stanfield, Jodi Cobb, Jim Brandenburg, David Alan Harvey, and many more. They share their techniques, as well as personal and colorful anecdotes about individual images and their adventures in the fieldsometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, always vividly compelling. Author Leah Bendavid-Val writes about the photographers’ achievements from technical, journalistic, and artistic perspectives. Five chapters cover core National Geographic themeswildlife on land and water; cultures in the United States and around the world; and science, from astronomy to archaeology to the human senses. The photographs in each chapter capture rare moments in nature and the lives of animals, along with defining events in the lives of people everywhere. This exquisite collection is as elegant as it is timeless. Review: NGS Photographer's Visual Historical Facts - There are several bookstore and used bookstore owners I keep contact with, who have mentioned to me that NGS may discontinue all their publications. Since I was in 4th grade, I have loved to read. My family had subscription to the monthly NatGeo Editions. Should have saved and hoarded all of them. These photos are frame-able; definitely historical. These are visual of true world events which occurred. These photographers were smart and intuitive enough to capture other country events visually. Framing all of these photos and having wall hangings of visual world history events, allows house & dinner guests to hear what actually happened, with their eyes. I've got two of these publications. They are keepers, heirlooms. Review: Recommended. - Arrived timely and in good shape. A little smaller than expected but still a great buy! Pictures are amazing and the book is high quality.

Nice book but kind of small
I love National Geographic and its photos. This book is filled with great photos and descriptions but the book is really small.... I was thinking it would be more like a coffee table book which it would be if your coffee table is tiny. The print is small and I actually bought as a gift for my dad, but I'm not sure he'll be able to read much of it - even with his glasses. So while I do like the photos, I should have paid more attention to the dimensions. I just really had never seen a photo book, especially a hard cover Nat Geo one, so small. And yes, it does say it's 8"x6" in the details but it just seems smaller, maybe because you want to see bigger images.

Beautiful pictures
Beautiful pictures. There is also a short description about the pictures and the date it was taken. I’m glad I read the reviews and bought the paper back, which is much bigger than hard cover. Exactly what I was looking for.

コンパクトだが濃い
友人へのプレゼントとして買いました サイズはペイパーバックの長辺を正方形にした程度の小型のものですが、中身は非常に濃い。NGの有名な写真を一覧することができるものなのですが、それだけではなくて、写真というものが伝えうる事実や感情といったものを凝縮した一冊になっていて、不覚にも友人に渡す前だというのに感動のあまり涙が出ました NG創設以来の人類の歴史、様々な生命をたたえた地球の営み、世界中のごく普通の人々の暮らしが、それぞれの小さなページからひしひしと伝わってきます。決して美しい景色だけが被写体ではありません。NGの報道に対する強烈な使命感というものが、そこにはあるように見えます
