Published Washington, D.C. : National Geographic, 2005.
Description 504 p. ; 27 cm.
Summary "Culled from among the millions of images in National Geographic's vast visual archive and capturing a dazzling variety of scenes from every corner of the Earth, Wide Angle is every bit as panoramic as its title suggests, a collection of landscapes and cityscapes, familiar views, and unknown vistas alike brought to new life." "In these pages we visit every continent and the oceans that both separate and link them, in the company of some of the world's early photographers to such modern masters as Sam Abell, William Albert Allard, Jodi Cobb, and many more. Each of the book's twelve chapters focuses on a particular region, its natural splendors and wildlife, its peoples and their cultures; each is introduced by an essay by Ferdinand Protzman, who reflects upon the art of photography and its many layers of meaning.".
"Here are big-city streets awash in neon from New York to Sydney, dusty North African towns, and the long-deserted ruins of Machu Picchu. One spread discovers a camel caravan on a lonely trek across the immense, empty Sahara Desert while another captures more than two million Hajjis worshiping at Mecca's most sacred shrine. Two Cheetahs are frozen in mid-leap; a stork wings its way across the frame in a pastel composition worthy of Hokusai."--BOOK JACKET.
