An exciting addition to White Star's renowned aerial presentation series, this handsome, compact volume takes readers on a memorable trip over Africa, giving them a rare glimpse of its spectacular, diverse landscapes and wildlife. Photojournalist Paolo Novaresio shares with readers his love of Africa in a portfolio of photographs that transports us to a land that remains, in many ways, wild and untamed. He captured unparalleled pictures of animal herds, savannahs, deserts, and deep jungle by using various means of aerial transport, including a montgolfier, a helicopter, and a twin-engine plane. His unique photographic techniques showcase the topography, light, and color of an entire region at a glance. More than 550 color photographs reveal a hidden Africa that readers could never experience without the benefit of these stunning above-ground views. Among the regions and countries photographed are Northern Africa and the Sahara Desert, Central Africa, Tanzania, Niger, Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Southern Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Armchair safari adventurers and world travelers alike will relish this aerial excursion over Africa.

An excellent purchase!,

This review is from: Africa Flying High (Hardcover)
Opening the Amazon package that arrived at my door, I was very pleased to take out and turn the pages of Paolo Novaresio's stunning aerial photographic journey of Africa. The book was smaller in size than I expected, but the photographs didn't disappoint, capturing extraordinary moments (like the flight of flamingoes) that would otherwise remain secrets known only by the residents of Africa. One also wouldn't guess that each photograph has been taken of the same continent due to the vast diversity of the landscape seen in the images, from deserts to mountain ranges.
This is a coffee table book that certainly won't gather dust. The brilliance of colour and contrast caught by the artistic virtuosity of Novaresio is an unending feast for the eyes.

This review is from: Africa Flying High (Hardcover)
What a great book, providing unique perspectives of Africa that are virtually impossible to see. Having been on a Tanzanian safari, I highly recommend this book. It is appropriate for those who like Africa, photography, or both!
