Packed with colourful photographs, this book takes readers on tour above Europe's most popular cities and places. It is the world's prow and human history's heart: Europe is the continent where human actions have marked the most the path of civilization. Through a breathtaking photographic collection, carried out by the most important professionals in the world, the aerial perspective discovers details, places and landscapes, which form an amazing and complex mosaic. This volume shows the widest plains, which link the Atlantic Ocean to the Ural Mountains and the ranges of mountains, which define the States' borders. Readers will discover the rivers and the forests and then again, the Mediterranean, where commercial routes developed and the most important religions found a ground for confrontation. With its numerous facets - both social and environmental - Europe has an amazing heritage whose diversity has always been synonymous of climatic, artistic, cultural and chromatic prosperity. 38,000 kilometres-long coasts border Europe, which history has made different from every other continent in the world. It is only flying that you can enjoy its complete view. ILLUSTRATIONS: 411 colour photographs
