Description
Overview contains more than 200 "overviews," images created by stitching together numerous satellite photographs of locations on Earth as viewed from space. All of the images were created from DigitalGlobe's 15-year time-lapse image library, which contains the world's highest quality satellite imagery. The first eight chapters in Overview focus on visual representations of our impact on Earth, whereas the final chapter focuses on areas untouched, or lightly touched, by mankind. The goal of the book is to help readers to develop a new perspective of the effect of humans on the planet. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
