The breathtaking landscape photography in this lavish volume takes us across every continent.

Only at first glance do the steppes, salt lakes, savannas, and tundras appear barren: this fascinating illustrated book captures the vibrancy of deserts around the globe in a true masterpiece of nature photography. Traveling across Africa, Arabia, the Americas, the Arctic, and Antarctica, Philippe Bourseiller has created a captivating portrait of the Earth with this extravagant travel photo book: As majestic as the Gobi Desert, as mystical as the Sahara with its sweeping dunes and fertile oases, as archaic as the Namib, the “Great Emptiness,” as rich in biodiversity and picturesque as the Kalahari or the Colorado Desert—the diversity and vibrant colors of the landscape photography in this coffee-table book never cease to amaze.
