The Photographs (Mini)

National Geographic’s selection of iconic photographs in this mini hardback format offers fans an inside look at their award-winning photographs, the facts behind them, and the inside stories of the men and women who took them. The images capture rare moments in nature and the lives of animals, along with defining events in the lives of people and nations, and many earlier pictures place new ones in unique perspective. An introductory chapter chronicles the evolution of the photographic principles at National Geographic and their belief that photography has the power to tell important truths about the world. The book is divided into chapters representative of the Society’s major themes: Then and Now, Faraway Places, In the Wild, Underwater, The Sciences and In the USA.
