A compilation of over 200 Earth Art images from Fugro NPA's collection has been published by Cassell Illustrated.
'Above the World' is a unique collection of satellite images that reveal the detail, variety and fragility of the Earth in new and startlingly beautiful ways. More than 100,000 copies have been produced with editions in 8 languages. The small format volume may still be found in some shops, but FNPA have bought the printer's remaining stock and can supply copies.
Photographs of unprecedented quality capture the world's extraordinary topography and features - natural and man-made - that characterise the surface of our planet: the sheer artistry of coastlines and meandering rivers; strange and familiar terrains that become unfathomable abstract works of art from above; the arresting presence of mountains and magnificent views of cites. The long shots covering vast areas are juxtaposed with closer-focus images of famous landmarks like the Pyramids at Giza and the Hoover Dam.
It has never been so easy to take this space-eye view and at a glance, marvel at the highest, widest, most densely populated and strangest terrains in images that offer unparalleled clarity, texture and colour and which combine to produce an unforgettable portrait of our planet in the 21st century.
Foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
