When I spotted Wild Beautiful Places at the library, I had to get it. Anything by National Geographic is almost certain to be stunning!
Premise:
Readers get to see some of the natural beauty all over the globe through amazing photography, with a section devoted to each continent. Also, there is a short explanation of each of the places visited, as well as a few travel tips for those who want to visit the locale.
My thoughts:
My favorite part of the book is, of course, the photography. I’m a sucker for a good coffee table book–one which features amazing photos. This book doesn’t disappoint in that respect at all! The photos focus mainly on landscape, with a few photos of animals and people thrown in, too. Many of the places I had never heard of, so it was nice to see something different. There were a good number of National Parks featured, and not just in the United States.
I don’t think that I’ll ever travel to any of the featured places (Traveling internationally with a family of seven is completely out of the question!), but it’s a nice thought to include travel tips for those who might want to visit for themselves.
I recommend Wild Beautiful Places to anybody who enjoys a good photography book. It’s appropriate for all ages and would make an excellent coffee table book.
