National Geographic Rarely Seen

Description

National Geographic's dazzling photography book of visual wonders, shot by some of the world's finest photographers, reveals a world very few will have the chance to see for themselves. This New York Times bestseller features striking images of places, events, natural phenomena, and manmade heirlooms seldom seen by human eyes. It's all here: 30,000-year-old cave art sealed from the public; animals that are among the last of their species on Earth; volcanic lightning; giant crystals that have grown to more than 50 tons; the engraving inside Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch. With an introduction by National Geographic photographer Stephen Alvarez, whose work has taken him from the Peruvian Andes to the deepest caves of Papua New Guinea, Rarely Seen captures once-in-a-lifetime moments, natural wonders, and little-seen objects from the far reaches of the globe. Review: Awesome - Awesome product Review: Smaller than expected. Good quality prints. - Diminished size, diluted experience but great quality. They should have provided the dimensions in the product photos itself, not everyone checks the dimensions in description. Despite its small size, the quality of the book and photos are great, but you just don't get that feeling of excitement and awe looking at those amazing landscapes and photos you expect to get from such a book.
