Gaia

From onedrop.org: GAIA—a creative project designed by Guy Laliberté for ONE DROP—is a body of work bearing witness to the beauty and fragility of Earth with regard to the universe. All proceeds from GAIA sales go to ONE DROP. ONE DROP is an initiative of Guy Laliberté, Founder of Cirque du Soleil™. Its aim is to provide everyone with access to safe water, now and forever.It is a book of pictures of the earth from space made as a fundraiser for charity.

Sure the view of Earth from space can result in beautiful pictures. And the book is simply just that: a collection of pictures - one after the other. No text, just the pictures' location on Earth. Maybe that's what art is supposed to be, something only to be looked at and admired. But what those pictures depict can be traced to geophysical processes and/or human intervention. Unfortunately no explanation is given as to what we are looking at, let alone how such beautiful sceneries came to being.Definitively not worth the price.As a cheaper and educative alternative, log on to NASA's "The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth" at eol.jsc.nasa.gov. The pictures are just as beautiful and the accompanying text can teach you a thing or two.

Absolutely stunning photography.You don't realize that you are such a miniscule part of this earth when you see the photographs.It's really hard to believe that mankind is destroying this thing of beauty,& each other,all at once.My greatest fear is that he is succeeding.You will NOT be disappointed!!

La terre nous la voyons enfin d'une autre façon, commentaires en anglais et photos d'art. Le fondateur québécois du Cirque du Soleil nous épate. Une terre magique, torturée dans des creux et ses bosses et bien sûr ses océans. Vous pouvez aussi acheter sur Amazon les dvd des excellents spectacles du Cirque du Soleil.

Excellent livre! Beaucoup moins cher!

Impressionnant ouvrage! Des photos remarquables, étonnantes et une édition de grande qualité. Pour réfléchir sur notre Terre...
