History Editorial Review
**Editorial Review** "From Above: The Story of Aerial Photography (150 Years of Breathtaking Imagery)" is a visually compelling coffee table book that offers a mesmerizing journey through the history of aerial photography. Customers have celebrated the impressive collection of images that showcases the world from a unique vantage point, emphasizing the grandeur and beauty captured through the ages. Readers appreciate the careful curation that spans from early black-and-white photographs to vibrant color images, making it suitable for both casual observers and those with a deeper interest in photographic history. Despite the book's strengths, some critiques have surfaced regarding the presentation of these stunning images. Several customers noted that while the photographs are breathtaking, the overall visual quality suffers due to the muted colors present in the prints. This minor drawback detracts from the full impact of the imagery and could leave a more profound impression if handled with a bit more flair. Another area of concern for some customers was the inclusion of political content within the book, specifically a comparison of presidential inaugurations, which they felt was unnecessary and detracted from the book's theme of aerial photography. Additionally, readers pointed out the absence of stereo pairs, a significant aspect of aerial imaging history that could have enhanced the book's educational value. While some Considered the book a commendable addition to their collection, others felt it could have achieved even greater heights with a few more thoughtfully integrated elements. Overall, "From Above" is well-received as an important visual history of aerial photography, making it a suitable choice for history buffs and photography enthusiasts looking to adorn their coffee tables with a piece of artistic literature. **
