America from the Air

By Robert J. Moore

Book Overview

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.

Good but could be better

It could by better when some important places where shownin bigger format in this book.

America from the Air

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.
