    Our Beautiful, Fragile World is "a feast for your senses"
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014*

Peter Essick, in his compassionate manner, uses "his eye" to photograph the places he visited to open "our" eyes to how we are using/abusing our planet.  Some photos are difficult to look at. “Timing is Everything” reveals how our nuclear waste is being stored at nuclear power plants; “A Coral Paradise Slipping Away” is his up close and personal look at a dying coral reef; and “Looking for Justice in a Dark World” shines an emotional light on the effects of hazardous material on us (humans). His beautiful photographs accompany his first person observations that make you take a second, and sometimes third, look at each photograph. He combines photographs of the physical environment, physical infrastructure, and the creatures that inhabit our planet to present a complete picture (pun intended) of what is happening every day to this planet and the role we intentionally (or unintentionally) play.

    Fantastic!
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2014*

Peter Essick's "Our Beautiful, Fragile World" takes one inside the mind of one of the world's foremost landscape and nature photographers.  While there is a big dose of beauty, there is also a healthy shot of what humanity is doing to planet earth, and thus, to itself.  In short, our beautiful, fragile planet is worth protecting, and we all need to do our part.  Fulfilling that stewardship duty will require thoughtful contemplation, which one will certainly do while absorbing Essick's stunning images.Highly recommended.

    Terrible Beauty
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2013*

This is a smallish, yet impactful collection. The format is open book -- a photograph on the left, an essay/explanation on the right. The theme is around what we have and what we are rapidly losing.You will have a favorite photo essay among these. Mine is an aerial shot of a log yard of old-growth trees in Manitoba, Canada. You see what must be one zillion cut trees below you, all stacked, ready for pulping. It is immense and sad. Terrible beauty.
