Media Reviews
These abstractly beautiful compositions offer an awe-inspiring view of the planet... The photographs appear more like art than a geological survey. In fact, it's enough to send viewers into a bit of a trance. And once we've scooped our jaws off the floor, perhaps this book will help us respect this marvelous planet a bit more. -Wonderland The book has a natural rhythm that matches the organic quality of the imagery... An inspiration to photographers and artists alike. -Outdoor Photography Breathtaking. -Sunday Express
Author Bio
Bernhard Edmaier (b.1957) trained as a civil engineer and geologist and has photographed the earth's surface for over 15 years. The result of meticulous planning and research, his extraordinary travels take him from the endless deserts of Africa to the ice plains of Iceland and the coral cliffs of the Great Barrier Reef. His abstractly beautiful compositions offer an awe-inspiring view of our planet.

Dr Angelika Jung-Huttl (b.1957) is a geologist and writer who contributes to the Suddeutsche Zeitung, the BerlinerZeitung and pm-history. She has worked and travelled with Edmaier for 10 years and has written several books on volcanoes, ice and glaciers.
