    美国国家地理杂志作品,最伟大的人体摄影集,售价220元,英文原版,美国印刷,比中文版还便宜70元。
    This is truly one of the great books of people pictures, a treasure chest of images truly deserving the self-imposed subtitle of "greatest portraits".
    Trust me on this. Having spent almost 40 years in the news business as a reporter, photographer and editor, I have some experience in recognizing good pictures and hiring people who can produce good pictures. By any standard, these are great pictures.
    A "great picture" hinges on an intangible called the moment of peak action. Let me explain that by referring to a photo not in this book; the angry defiant look of Sir Winston Churchill in the portrait by Yousouf Karsh of Ottawa, Canada. Churchill was angry because Karsh had just taken away his cigar, which Churchill had just lit of relax after a speech to the Canadian parliament. It's probably the most famous portrait ever of Churchill.

    Spanning the world, from Northeast Europe to Southeast Asia, these 260 photos offer a spectacular view of regions of unimaginable, often haunting beauty. Many of the images, from the National Geographic Society's 10 million-image archive, have never been published before. Meditative introductions to each region of the world consider questions such as our stereotypical views of Asia and the ambiguity of evocations of the Middle East, their meaning "depending largely on what one believes." But the real attraction is the full-color photos: sometimes mysterious, like Karen Kasmaski's photos of sunflowers with Mount Fuji emerging from the shadows in the background; or playful, like Miguel Luis Fairbanks's woman driving in Australia with a young koala bear on her shoulder. Some are charming, like Steve McCurry's image of women in a field in Yemen, their hats bobbing above the lush clover; and still others present the natural world in an original light, like Anup and Manoj Sha's photo of a herd of zebras in Kenya, op-arty with its zigzags of black and white stripes. Not all the photos evoke pleasant images: the ravages of war in Croatia and the 2003 invasion of Iraq crop up, adding a dose of unhappy realities. Still, dipping anywhere into this volume offers a feast for the eyes and introduction to parts of the world most are unlikely ever to visit.
    This book is large: in format, in scope, in pages, and in its effect on the reader. Travel is all about place, of course, as this gorgeous album's subtitle indicates. The editors of National Geographic have culled from their archives a treasure trove of photographs, many never previously published, that evoke a certain moment in a certain small corner of the globe. The entire globe is the book's purview--all continents and every imaginable setting, from city to desert, and from a snowy national park to a birthday celebration in Mexico. A lovely book to savor forever.

The prickly political implications of portrait photography are perhaps at their most evident in this hefty(seven pounds)and gorgeously glossy compilation of work by National Geographic photographers.As the frank essays by such photographers as Sam Abell,Jodie Jobb and William Albert Allard beginning each chapter reveal,behind the unthreatening National Geographic cameras lenses,often less-than-admirable mechanisms were at work.Stuart Franklin writes of the editorial pressure on photographers to provide "pictures of pretty girls" to the point where "hundreds of bare-breasted women,all from poorer countries,were published at a time of booming subscription rates." Editor Bendavid-Val writes of National Geographic's propensity for avoiding controversial issues at home in the United States; turmoil has been less thorny to document in faraway places."The emotional distance was easy to maintain in an age when communication was cumbersome and long-distance travel was uncommon." Still,a photograph of thieves' severed heads on a billboard in China,or even the photograph "Afghan Girl," published in 1985 and arguably National Geographic's most well-known photograph,pierce through this self-imposed emotional shield.Beyond the isolationism and voyeurism is something oddly moving about this collection of 280-plus portraits: it forms a giant mosaic of American identity,a self-portrait composed of how we look at others.

Customer Reviews
Reviewer: Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
It's hard to believe the price tag of this hefty, 500 page reference is so reasonable at $30.00: especially since it's packed with full-page color photos on virtually every page! Wide Angle: National Geographic Greatest Places packs in visual displays culled from millions of images in the archives of Geographic, presenting scenes from around the world by both early and modern photographers. From urban scenes and empty deserts to centers of teaming human life, Wide Angle is perfect for that armchair traveler who wants to see as much of the world as possible from his easy chair.
