This story appears in the December 2012 issue of National Geographic magazine. Frogs sport noses like Cyrano’s, and the rivers are full of rainbow fish. Yet none of New Guinea’s wild wonders have fascinated scientists as deeply as the creatures that 19th-century naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace called the most extraordinary and the most beautiful of the feathered inhabitants of the earth : the birds of paradise.

Paradise has about as many meanings as there are people on this planet. When I first picked up the book at a Barns and Noble, I was intrigued by the pictures. Many were out of focus, or lacked a clear subject while others seemed normal, and cliche. I put the book down and went on with my day. A week or two latter, I was in the same section again, and again found myself thumbing through the full page photographs. I stopped on one that caught my eye; Hokkaido Japan in winter. Just trees and a fence, but against the white and grey background they appeared an ink drawing. I started reading the captions, and an hour latter, my back was aching trying to stand there and hold this large book.

Each picture is a photographer's vision of paradise. It is interesting to see the shear number of differing opinions on this subject. Yet at same time it is hard not to be moved or transfixed by the images. We all spend a lot of time searching for some sort of paradise on earth. Most of us don't even know what were are looking for, perhaps no one ever will. Yet every page of this book catches a small feeling of that search. Very well done: 5 stars

I saw this while at a Veterans home and ended up buying 2, one for me and for a family member. The pictures are amazing and really make you want to go and view the places for yourself.

This book was slightly disappointing. You would think with the title, you would get some beautiful pictures. Instead, a lot of the photos displayed seemed to be of low quality and not eye-popping. If it contained more crisp photos, I definitely would have given it more stars. It is still a must have, for those who don't care whether or not the photos are crisp or not.

This is one of those books where you first open it, and your like wh, okay, its alright . You might find one or two pictures that speak to you. But, everytime you look at it you appreciate more and more why the photographers chose each picture. There are hidden deptha to this book, and soon you'll find yourself wanting to go back and look at the pictures again and again. So, it is really up to you to decide what kind of book you are looking for.

Not a great photographic collection. I give 2 stars because there are photos from some locations I will never go to. I agree with -ve comments like not Coffee material and denigrate a very poor product from National Geographic.

A very good looking book.And very inspirational. Anyone would enjoy reading it. Another Nat-Geo classic as usual. Always good. .

This is one NG photo book that I can put side by side with Magnum books due to the varied personalities imparted to the photographic works. It's somehow different from typical NG coffee table books featuring postcard cliches. It takes more than casual browsing to appreciate the depth of each individual photo and the photographer behind, an experience which can be rewarding to readers searching for beauty beyond the most conventional sense.
