A collection of Yann Arthurs-Bertrand's aerial photographs of Turkey, including images of Cappadocia's lunar landscape, the hills of Istanbul, the cities of Troy and Ephesus, and Pamukkale's mineral formations. Janine Trotereau's captions provide geographical, cultural and historical information.
Turkey is a vast and varied country, renowned for both its striking natural wonders and its splendid cultural achievements. In this magnificent book the country's extraordinary beauty is revealed in vistas captured from the air by world-renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
From the remains of Hellenistic Greece and the ruins of Byzantium to the glories of Ottoman Turkey, here are an abundance of sites from ancient history and mythology: the cities of Troy and Ephesus, the great theatre at Aspendos, the seven hills of Istanbul glittering with countless mosques. Turkey's remarkable landscape is manifest in photographs of Cappadocia, famous for its unique lunar terrain, and Pamukkale, where hot mineral waters have created a cascade of dazzlingly white fossilized forms, gloriously revealed from above. Turkey is brought to life in these sumptuous photographs, illuminated by the geographical, historical and cultural information in Janine Trotereau's evocative text and captions.
Turkey from the Air will be a revelation even for frequent visitors to the country, and is also a wonderful book for the armchair traveller.
