THE A5 BOOK REVIEWNational Geographic is a remarkable company with a long history of amazing photography and for their quest to explore and reveal the unknown wonders of the world. There is one book that nicely captures that spirit – Rarely Seen: Photographs of the Extraordinary. This photo book reveals a world that few will recognize, with over 250 striking images of rarely-seen places and events. Examples include lightening erupting from a volcano, Petra at night, giant crystals that have grown to over 50 tons, the Hell Hole with a fire burning for 40 years in Turkmenistan, and the engraving inside Abraham Lincoln’s famous pocket watch. This 400+ page book is definitely worth a place on the coffee table, or of course as an excellent gift.
