Product Description

Book Description

   エイブラム社のベストセラー写真集『Earth From Above: 365 Days』に続く本書は、前作よりも60ページ増とさらにパワーアップし、有名航空写真家ヤン・アルテゥス=ベルトランによる目を見はるような撮りおろし写真も200点近く収録されている。南極の氷山から、インドの綿畑、スペインのオリーブ畑まで、縦横無尽に大陸を飛び回る、息をのむようなフルカラーの写真には、情報量豊かなキャプションが新たに添えられている。各キャプションは写真を解説するとともに、それぞれの地域にまつわる環境問題を訴えている。

   さらに、全12章の冒頭には、著名作家による洞察深い序文が収録されている。現在、そして未来の地球を守るうえでの重要課題をテーマとしたもので、その内容は、農業、生物多様性、持続可能な開発、エネルギー、森林、淡水系、海洋、地球温暖化と多岐にわたる。『Earth from Above: 366 Days』は、すばらしく、しかし壊れやすい我々の地球環境を考えるうえで、非常に価値ある新しい視点を与えてくれる。



From Publishers Weekly

Photographer Arthus-Bertrand combines his talent for shooting gorgeous aerial pictures with his commitment to preserving the environment in this edifying illustrated book. The volume's thesis-that "the present levels and methods of consumption, production and exploitation of resources are not viable in the long term"-is developed in an unusual, calendar-inspired format, with a two-page spread for each day of the year. One side presents a landscape photograph, while the facing page contains a short text that describes the image's relation to larger ecological issues. For example, January 8th's picture of a sea ice formation in the Turkarchipelago, Finland, is accompanied by the information that the "great warm sea current" that breaks up the ice every year "may disappear as the climate changes and the Arctic ice cap melts." On another day, the image of a shining bronze power station in Denmark celebrates the fact that the plant "uses new technologies that reduce toxic emission by up to 80 percent." The book also includes a few short essays by experts in biodiversity, oceanography, forestry and the like, who explain the steps that would need to be taken in order to rectify the planet's current ecological wounds. Arthus-Bertrand's ability to find beauty in almost everything-his image of brightly-colored Mexican parasols resembles a color-field abstract painting; his swatch of German bottle racks recalls a sweeping mosaic-help make this an elegant and persuasive testament to all that could be lost if conservation strategies are not more fully embraced. 366 full color photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars 世界は等しく存在する。, 2006/4/2
By OCHIKA/LUNA (東京都) - See all my reviews
空から世界を写す。
それだけといえばそれだけの風景だけれどこんなにも世界は多様で美しい。
人の営みの生み出す複雑な曲線も整然とひかれる直線も、混乱が引き起こすおかしみも、風や波や嵐のもたらす信じられないほどあざやかな形も何もかも。

たまたま旅先、繁華街の歩道にずらりと大きなパネルで展示されていた。ショッピングの道すがら一枚、一枚のぞきながら歩いた。
一枚だけを見てるとそんなものか、と思う。だのに続けざまに沢山の「空から写す」という形にこだわったこの写真たちを見続けるうちに、なんだかとりとめのない思いが沸いてくる。

喜びも悲しみも怒りもなにもかもを飲み込んで、破壊の爪痕にさえも。世界は、ただ美しくあるのだ。

4.0 out of 5 stars 改めての感動と尊敬。, 2004/10/15
まず、写真を撮影した人を尊敬。そして地球の偉大さに乾杯。
はっと目を見張るような美しさを見せる写真もあれば、ジーンと少しずつ景色の広がりが沁みる写真もあり、
とにかく地球を感じられる一冊です。
悠久の時の流れを感じ、空に海に大地に全てに敬服です。
そして、きっとどこかひとつでもいいから、
実際の景色を自分の目で見てみたいと思うはず。
