A world-renowned photographer and author of Abrams' best-selling Earth From Above series, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has given us a new perspective on our world. In this fascinating book he takes us on yet another visual journey, into the life of a photographer. Tracing the highlights of his career, he invites us behind the scenes as he captures the primal lure of lions, hyenas, wildebeest, and stags in the wilds of Africa; studies the colorful traditions of the Masai in Kenya; and creates portraits of people with their pets or farm animals closer to home. Arthus-Bertrand's aerial photography, the work that has won him the greatest acclaim, is presented in extraordinary images of everything from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to the sands of the Sahara.
