Planet Earth: The Photographs Hardcover – 4 Oct. 2007

This book was published to coincide with the BBC television programme of the same name .After an introduction there are 10 chapters recording the different types of land on the planet these are-frozen poles,forests,great plains,sands,mountain heights,the underworld,fresh waters,rain foressts, shallows and ocean depths.Excellent text with magnificent pictures all of the highest standard as expected from the BBC.10 stars highly reconnended.

Excellent! Great photographs. Similar photographs from 'Planet Earth: As you've never seen it before', however it contains a lot more photographs. The book is smaller than the normal BBC books. Overall, great purchase.

This book is brilliant but spoilt by two things:It should be a larger size, it deserves to be full coffee table size;And not all of the pictures had descriptions.Despite these two issues, I am ordering more, it will be my standard barmitzvah present

Received in good condition

It was for my daughter. She is very happy with it. Easy to pick up and just take in pictures without lots of written info.

This book, an accompaniment to the TV series, is packed with photos and has only very limited explanatory text.The photos, for the most part, are stunning but they lose impact by being small and often spread over 2 pages. This could have been a superb book that would have graced any bookshelf or coffee table but the small, square format just does not do the pictures justice. The quality of the images just about saves this book being a complete disaster.I find it annoying that the brilliance of the photographers has been treated in this derogatory manner and feel that BBC Books are pulling a bit of a fast one here and cashing in on the TV series with little regard for the customer.

such wonderful photos, really wonderful. The captions are lovely too, i loved the series so much, this is a perfect condensed version of it (minus david attenborough's voice over...)
