Being a datebook of aerial photographs and remote sensing imagery with captions on facing pages. The pictures are frequently spectacular; the captions are meant to be thought-provoking but too often are merely head-scratchers. There is no obvious reason for the linking to dates. The binding is

horrible; it fell apart almost immediately.

This sits on a low level bookcase in our high school library and gets rave reviews. It has great information and beautiful photos. I catch myself wandering over to it in quieter moments in the library and glancing a a few pages here and there.

Excellent photography of the earth from above giving an insight into how we have changed and scarred the earth. Quite awe inspiring images of the earth at work, play, and rest.
