Egypt, one of the largest countries in Africa, is an immense crossroads of history. It has landscapes of extraordinary beauty and magnificent masterpieces both archaeological and natural: the monuments of the pharaonic age, the slow and fertile Nile, the dazzling light of the desert, the small oases along caravan routes, the contradictions of Cairo and the corals of the Red Sea. Few countries can boast such a concentration of natural wealth, mysteries and art treasures; few countries have so deeply affected Mediterranean civilization, and therefore, also contemporary history. Stirring photographs and a lively, original text illustrate the myriad aspects of this spectacular and surprising country. These pages will take the reader on a captivating journey through Egypt, revealing the complexity, mystery and formidable resources of the Land of the Pharaohs.

The great monuments of the Age of the Pharaohs, the slow, beneficial Nile, the desert crushed by confused, shimmering horizons beneath a dazzling light, the little oases scattered along caravan routes formed by centuries of toil and the dull pain of slaves condemned to live in an unknown, distant land, Christian monasteries rich in gold and illuminated manuscripts, the contrasts of Cairo, the glories of Alexandria, the package tourism of the Red Sea – Egypt has lost nothing of the attraction it has always exerted on the rest of the world. Few countries can boast such a concentration of romantic sights and disturbing legends and mysteries – the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the royal tombs, the massive temples, the extraordinary wealth passed over to the world of the dead, the mummies, the curses of the pharaohs – and few countries have had such a profound influence on the collective imagination.

Given variety of its geography, its contrast between the Nile’s green valley and desert’s golden sands, and the proverbial monumentality of ruins that bear witness to its great artistic past, Egypt is perfect for aerial exploration. Traveling by balloon and helicopter, Marcello Bertinetti captured an extraordinary sequence of pictures that reveal the dramatic nature of the boundless landscapes and the infinite contradictions of this historic land. Narrative introductions to each chapters and explanatory captions enhance this unique photographic report.

Packed with colourful photographs, this book takes readers on tour above Europe’s most popular cities and places.
It is the world’s prow and human history’s heart: Europe is the continent where human actions have marked the most the path of civilization. Through a breathtaking photographic collection, carried out by the most important professionals in the world, the aerial perspective discovers details, places and landscapes, which form an amazing and complex mosaic. This volume shows the widest plains, which link the Atlantic Ocean to the Ural Mountains and the ranges of mountains, which define the States’ borders. Readers will discover the rivers and the forests and then again, the Mediterranean, where commercial routes developed and the most important religions found a ground for confrontation. With its numerous facets - both social and environmental - Europe has an amazing heritage whose diversity has always been synonymous of climatic, artistic, cultural and chromatic prosperity. 38,000 kilometres-long coasts border Europe, which history has made different from every other continent in the world. It is only flying that you can enjoy its complete view.
