THE PHOTOGRAPHS
An enduring bestseller since its introduction, National
Geographic The Photographs is a brilliant retrospective of the
visually stunning and world-renowned photographic achieve

National Geographic The Photographs is a captivating, full-color presentation of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine's best and most memorable

Page after page of this beautiful, large-format book presents stunning images that capture the major themes of the National Geographic
Society: wildlife on land and underwater, cultures in the United States

to the human senses. Accompanying the images are the photographers
accounts of the techniques they used and their adventures in the field- sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, and always vividly
compelling. National Geographic The Photographs also includes an intro
ductory chapter that chronicles the evolution of the photographic principles that have kept National Geographic at the forefront of the field
and presents the visionaries who believed that photography had the
power to tell important truths.
