This book lives up to and even exceeds National Geographic’s reputation for creating breathtaking photo narratives. It drew me in with the first powerful image and I couldn’t put it down until I’d turned the last page. It’s been quite a century so far and this book brings it all to life. Bought several as gifts for family and friends. Highly recommend this one!

Loved this. Beautiful photography. I've only scratched the surface but I have thoroughly enjoyed it thus far.

I LOVED the photos! I love it overall but the font is too small. There was plenty of room on the pages with script, wasted space. Would have been the perfect book if the font was either a little larger or maybe darker. I do recomend this book highly.

Photography is absolutely beautiful. the only issue is the cover of the book. The paper cover of the book I received came torn from the bottom and wrinkled as well. Other than that I enjoy this book and would recommend to anyone who enjoys and understands the beauty of photography.
