?The idea here is to use big, beautiful objects and organisms to trace the story of life on earth. Lanting sees the aeons of rain that made the oceans, for example, in the lip of Brazil's thunderous Iguacu Falls.? Town & Country, New York
Kurzbeschreibung
Planet earth - home sweet home. In the year 2000, world-renowned wildlife photographer, Frans Lanting set out on a personal journey to photograph the evolution of life on earth. He made pilgrimages to true time capsules like a remote lagoon in Western Australia, spent time in research collections photographing forms of microscopic life, and even found ways to create visual parallels between the growth of organs in the human body and the patterns seen on the surface of the earth. The resulting volume is a glorious picture book of planet earth depicting the amazing biodiversity that surrounds us all. Lanting's true gift lies beyond his technical mastery: it is his eye for geometry in the beautiful chaos of nature that allows him to show us the world as it has never been seen before. From crabs to jellyfish, diatoms to vast geological formations, jungles to flowers, monkeys to human embryos, "Life" is a testament to the magical beauty of life in all its forms and is Lanting's most remarkable achievement to date.

Amazing quality for the price
7. November 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The author worked many years on this book. The pictures are simply amazing and cover the seven continents and 4.5 billions years. The author followed a mixed scientific/artistic approach and documented some selected life evolution lilestones through his pictures. For example, the very first picture representing the Big Bang is a zooming-in movement on the center of petrified wood in Arizona. The visual effect is great and to the point. The texts of the pictures (on separate pages - to make sure the pictures can be fully appreciated) is also very well crafted with a nice touch of poetry.
The book contains a fair number of references.
The binding of the book is also made with quality in mind. I don't suspect the pages will detach from the binding like some other similar books of this size.
Overall, I am really impressed. Actually, I wonder how they can make books of such quality at this price point. I paid lower quality books at twice the price. A bargain.

Thought provoking
12. Januar 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Apart from displaying superb pictures, Frans Lanting's book is a stirring philosophical essay on our planet and life contained within it. This is not just another coffee table book, but one that has to be read and looked at repeatedly, and made a present of to one's close friends and relatives.

Great photography! Also an interesting geologic history. A great dollar value to get all these great pictures in a large format book for such a reasonable price.
