Product Description
The latest, lavish photographic book by the master of the medium. Culminating over 20 years of panoramic work in a single large format book, this encompasses Earths iconic wild places while exposing some of the lesser-known landscapes of our planet. The photographs span six continents and range from the northern- to the southernmost extremes of the Earth, capturing a range of wonders -- the wildebeest migration of the Serengeti, to polar bears on the stark landscape of Hudson Bay. Mangelsens images capture both an intimate and far-reaching look into the natural world that has inspired artists and adventurers for centuries. One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography. -- American Photo, 2005

Simply beautiful March 8, 2008
The images in this book are great and truly inspiring. The panoramic format really adds to the impression. Mangelsen has shot the images around the globe from Alaska to the desert in Africa.
 love it! July 15, 2007

What a beautiful display of God's wonderful creation! The books great, but there are two pages that are smudged. However, I can live with the smudging for the price I paid.
If you want to buy just ONE book of nature photography July 2, 2007
...this is the one. Tom Mangelsen was named by American Photo as one of the "100 Most Important People in Photography" and this book shows why. His work is not what one would usually expect in nature photography. He breaks through a genre that has become something of a cliche and surprises the viewer/reader with a broad, holisitic look at nature that astonishes and moves. This is my favorite book on nature, ever.
Gorgeous photography coffee table book June 27, 2007
This book makes a great gift. It's big and beautiful and unusual, and the photography is spectacular. The book is bound at the top for optimal viewing of the panoramic scenery. Mangelsen is a genius with a sophisticated eye for composition, color, depth... The text is wonderful, explaining the story behind the photographs. This is the consummate coffee table book. It lives on our coffee table and everyone who sits on the couch instantly becomes mesmerized with the beauty of each page.
