Why read it?
1 author picked Image and Exploration as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not only am I enthralled by the large images of lost places and people, but I am in awe of the fact that the photographers even reached some of the wildest places on earth with over a hundred pounds of camera equipment and boxes of mostly poisonous chemicals.

From John's list on travel photography books that make the past come alive.
