Basic supermarket shopping has become a global affair: We buy strawberries grown in Peru, rice cultivated in Indonesia & beef from Columbian ranchers. Michael Clinton has created a global volume for a global age. Shot in luminous four-colour, ' Global Snaps: 500 Photographs from 7 Continents' celebrates the diversity of human culture & the startling array of images. Sellout author of ' Wanderlust: One Hundred Countries', Clinton again takes us on a trip into the tantalizing prospect of trotting the globe. Over thirty-five years of travel, Clinton has compiled the photo album that we all wish we had taken ourselves. Organised by continent with convenient tabbing for quick reference, ' Global Snaps' is part global tour guide, part fantasy. Clinton's photos cover an astonishing one hundred & five countries & every continent. His book is an incredible survey of all the places everyone wants to visit
- the Taj Mahal, Sistine Chapel & Pyramids of Giza
- along with many other sites that provide inspiration for more exotic ventures, like Antarctic ice flows & Turkish mosques. Clinton brings the same degree of care & sensitivity to his 'snapshots' of great monuments as to his intimate portraits of local life.
