Simply Beautiful Photographs


Just as its title indicates, National Geographic Simply Beautiful Photographs plumbs the depth of National Geographic's renowned Image Collection to highlight the loveliest and most appealing photographs from this impressive archive. The result is an experience of visual delight, whether from stunning landscapes, magnificent wildlife, fascinating people, or quaint locales. Award-winning National Geographic photographer Annie Griffiths Belt has chosen remarkable images from all of the Society's core mission areas: exploration, wildlife, cultures, science, nature. Each chapter showcases a specific aspect of what creates beauty in a photograph, whether light or color, or motion, and illuminates that quality in a splash of large-format images —most of which readers will be able to purchase as prints. Musings on visual beauty from scholars and poets enhance the experience, making this gorgeous collection a pleasure to look at again and again.

This delightful book reveals the secrets of her moveable family, describing in often-hilarious detail how she managed to convey two kids and a career to far-flung destinations across the globe.

Last Stand: America's Virgin Lands


This book is an eloquent appreciation of America's virgin lands, remnants of the once vast wilderness that have somehow survived. Widely acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver and award-winning photographer Annie Griffiths celebrate in both words and images those last stands of wild, untamed America.
