Publisher National Geographic Society Publication Year 2018 9.46x1.56x12 Inches Item Weight 6 lbs 512 Pages Review: "There has always been a thing, a distinctive way of photographic illustration, called the "Geographic eye," and it is well evident in this gorgeous book...It's what the book calls "street photography of the wild side," as opposed to mere bird eye candy...There is though, something distinctive and special about National Geographic photography that makes this volume a treasure." -10.000birds "The pictures were stunning and I learned a lot, despite being able to page through it pretty quickly. I'd highly recommend it as a gift for the birder or photographer in your life. I enjoyed this immensely." - Doingdeweydecimal.com
