See the grandeur and variety of the American landscape from high above. Hundreds of oversized, spectacular photographs create a fascinating virtual tour of the 50 states from a vantage point few of us have shared. Sweep over the majestic Grand Canyon, soar above the skyscrapers of New York City, and hang in the sky over rocky coastline and sandy beaches. From outer space, watch the entire continent come into focus through colorful satellite images. Closer to earth, New England appears, with its tidy houses, bright fall foliage, and coast dotted with tiny islands. Get an overhead look at the mighty Mississippi making its wide bend by Baton Rouge. Fly over the peaks of the Rockies, beautiful Yellowstone, and the paradisiacal Hawaiian islands. Region by region, from familiar territory to the farthest reaches of the nation, view man-made curiosities and achievements and sights of natural beauty and power.

America from the Air,
By A Customer
This review is from: America from the Air (Hardcover)
The pictures are beautiful. I've had fun trying to find famous landmarks that appear so different when looking down at them. There are many pictures of Manhattan and the World Trade Center buildings that are, at the same time, painful and nostalgic to see. I'm really enjoying the book.

America from the Air by Robert J. Moore, Jr.,
By rwulvik (Anchorage, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: America from the Air (Hardcover)
There is an error on top of page 43 -- no such mountain as Mt. Cook in Alaska. Picture does somewhat resemble Augustine Island in Lower Cook Inlet however. The picture was credited to Galen Rowell/Mountain Light.
