Review:

The Daily Beast, December 2013

These photographs are meant to inspire wanderlust and they are successful in doing just that.

Every Day with Rachael Ray, December 2013

A friend once said, The world is painfully full of beautiful places. This book is a coffee table-size testament to that idea.

ForeWord Reviews, November 30, 2013

Nature photography at its highest level serves to both overwhelm our senses and deepen our relationship with this planet, our home. To describe this book as anything less than the end-all coffee table book would be an injustice.

Alaskan Apple Users Group Blog, November 26, 2013

I found reading the book more of a meditation, seeing our amazing planet, discovering places I d only heard about, and yet wanting to know more.

GeekDad, November 12, 2013

In addition to the colorful photos, you can sense the sounds, smells, and feelings that your eyes can t quite experience on their own. Page after page of gorgeous photography will leave you speechless and aching to travel, pick up a camera, or both. . . . Celebrate nature, wildlife, and the masterpieces of Man as you page through this book.
