Across the Ravaged Land [Brandt, Nick] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Across the Ravaged Land Review: A most riveting book. - Even without reading the forewords of Nick Brandt, this book is riveting and very often in a painful way. Some of the images are extremely strong and very hard to shake. Add his text and you have something that will scar your soul. From a purely photographic viewpoint, his photos are downright amazing. They are not flashy in any way; all are black and white with a sepia tone with a very high resolution. His pictures spoke to me because I feel they exhibit the soul of the artist, they are real, very real. Last, but not least, the print is sumptuous; all are very matt and are of the best quality I have ever seen. In every aspect, this is an amazing book. Review: Everyone support Big Life Org - This is a wonderful book in a wonderful series !! The photos are beyond incredible !! Please EVERYONE give your support to Big Life Org, they are doing Great work !!! Although, I wanted this book, I was excited to see it advertised to be autographed by the author. I was very disappointed to receive my purchase, open the cover, and see that it was autographed to "FRANK". Which is of course, the seller. It would have been nice to know this prior to purchase !!!

A most riveting book.
Even without reading the forewords of Nick Brandt, this book is riveting and very often in a painful way. Some of the images are extremely strong and very hard to shake. Add his text and you have something that will scar your soul. From a purely photographic viewpoint, his photos are downright amazing. They are not flashy in any way; all are black and white with a sepia tone with a very high resolution.

Big book ans high quality images
Nick Brandt has done good job documenting wild animals in Africa. There is a feeling of film as well as medium format he used in these projects, as well as color grading. The subjects them self are also gorgeously looking. Appreciate it.

Eye Opener
Stunningly haunting book and had been wanting this for some time. Bought it used and couldn't be in better shape. Nick Brandt's work is unsurpassed and as a wildlife photographer having travelled to Africa many times, this book stirs the soul and his outlook and belief in what is coming is more than disturbing. We must stop what is happening on this continent with the senseless and continued killing of it's wildlife. Brandt is in my opinion, one of the greatest photographers out there.

Africa Today
Nick Brandt's photography has no equal. Be warned: this is a sad book. But beautiful, full of meaning and mandatory for those who want to understand that the world is not a theme park. Indeed, the world is a mess as a result of the predatory nature of the dominant species (humans). Exquisite, tragic, essential.

Love!
This book is stunning and I love all the photos. A little disappointed because the end of the book cover is damaged. Hint the 4 stars....Overall, it's a great book but probably a hassle to send back! I'm going to keep it and I would recommend this book!

Fantastic book
I highly recommend this book for the photography and art enthusiast. It's beautiful, moving, and inspiring. Just keep in mind that the dimensions are pretty large, and it may not fit on your bookshelf. It makes for a great coffee table book, but I like it so much, I'm hesitant to keep in my coffee table so it doesn't ruined.

Getting hold of genuine Nick Brandt books are like getting hold of hens teeth and for good reason. His books sell quickly because quite simply they offer some of the most stunning and superior photography of the natural African world. Across The Ravaged Land offers what appear to be at first glance simple but powerful photography but actually his seemingly simple compositions take the viewer into a much deeper and more moving image. It really sounds pretentious to say his images have the ability to emotionally move but they really do. For any wildlife lover, particularly that of African wildlife, Nick Brandt publications will not disapoint. His books are expensive but they are worth absolutely every penny. from the quality f the overall image to the quality of the print, paper and binding. You can wait a long time for Brandt books to come back into publication (I should know, I waited more than A year For On This Earth, A Shadow Falls) but they are worth the wait.

Per quanto riguarda il libro è veramente di ottima qualità. Le immagini sono bellissime e suggestive, siamo nelle alte sfere della Fotografia. Per quanto riguarda il negozio devo complimentarmi per il packaging della spedizione veramente a prova di bomba così come dovrebbe essere per ogni libro, soprattutto quelli fotografici con copertina rigida e di un certo valore. Soddisfatto
