I read this while on a waiting room; they had it on the table. It is a very nice book to look through and browse. The photos are excellent, which is something to be expected from National Geographic. At times I do wish they would put little insets of the locations in the photo instead of doing the "see previous page" or "the next page is..." But that is little irk, not a major issue. There are some brief text sections to introduce each part; the book is divided by major geographic areas. Overall, this is a nice book to just sit back with a nice cup of coffee or tea and relax.

Great photographs, makes you want to travel to all the places. Sometimes your IPhone just can not get everything in the photo. The experts can give us the whole wide story. ( )

Present from beloved friends - some stunning, beautiful images.
