I just received this amazing book today and well it's definitely worth to open a thread for it!
This book brought tears to my eyes! The pics by Sebastian Copeland are so beautiful and so meaningful!!

There's also a DVD included with 5 short reportages / slide-shows, inclusive a music vid where you can see Orlando as well!

I made some screencaps for you.....





This book is worth every cent!

It's already released??
I'll buy on Amazon, thanks for the news!

Thank you so much for the screencaps Shana. This book looks incredible. The Gallery on the Official Website just takes your breath away. Those wonderful photographs that are accompanied by the incredibly haunting music really brings a lump to your throat.

Let the gallery play through whilst you sit in a dark room. The effect is spectacular.

I'm definitely going to get this book when my bank balance allows.

I'm sorry, but on Amazon the book is available only for pre order....where have you get it???

Maybe the book is available now on the official website :

http://catalog.earthawareeditions.com/cata...opping_cart.php

Yeah that's exactly where I ordered it!
But I have to say that I already pre-ordered the book several weeks ago

Wow Shana! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I agree with Jesse that the pictures literally take your breath away...They just kind of leave you in awe of it all.
The book looks as though it would be worth every penny.

If you pre- ordered the book on Amazon, you save 20 $!

I wonder if you get the DVD also, from Amazon?

I have quite a fascination with these sorts of books. They contain stunning images along with vital information.

For the Aussies on here, you can make a back order for the book through Angus and Robertson aka Bookworld. It costs $93.95. It's not yet published though apparently, so they are just taking orders and will ship when available.

It's such a stunning book and as already said, it totally is worth every cent but even more all the attention it is getting.
Can't wait for the exhibitions! :D

:thankyou: so much Shana for posting these beautiful pictures from the DVD.

Thanks, Shana, for the news on the book and for the loverly scans of Orlando from the DVD.

The cover of the book is stunning! I can only imagine the quality of the photographs inside.

I was wondering about that as well, Katt. Amazon does not mention the DVD in the description of the book.

Shana...thank you for sharing the screencaps! The pictures are breathtaking!

It was a pleasure to make the caps for you because I knew that you would appreciate it
*hugs*
Well as I don't have a scanner I decided to take some photos from the pictures in the book *loool*
So sorry for the poor quality, and just click for the real size

I must buy this book!!!

Yes me too! Well ... Christmas is coming ... :rolleyes:

Santaaaa where are youuuu?!

Thanks Shana for sharing ! You're a little Santa ^^

Thank you so much for the photos Shana. I love the last one where Orlando almost got away with being on the other side of the camera lens! :lol:

Thanx for the photos Shana!

If you have the time, please check this checkTHIS video of Sebastian talking about the enviroment + Antarctica.

Thank you for this link mejia. It's fascinating listening to Sebastian talk abut this subject.

I'll have to continue watching it later when I have more time.

:yahoo: YEAH LoisKent I always dreamed to be a little miss Santa *loool* *hugs*

Jesse, that's also my favorite picture and I love the comment about this pic, which says:
"A high-priced camera caddy! Family has its privileges. Deception Island, February 07"


Awwww mejia thank you soooooo much for the link!!! Sebastian is a genius!
Thanks a lot
*hugs*

:lol:

I wonder how much he charges per hour? :lol:

ooo er mrs! :bigwink: :lol: :lol:


Great pics! I can't wait to get the book. I love this type of stuff :D

I finally got around to listening to all of this, I have to say it's absolutely fascinating.

Sebastian mentioned shopping bags. That is one things that I have changed in my daily life over the last year or so...I always carry bags in my car for the grocery shopping. I can sometimes walk into Tesco armed with 5 or 6 of their reusable 'Green bags'!

Light bulbs are another thing that we are slowly changing...if we can fit the correct fitting. I'm constantly shouting at my kids to turn off the TV, turn off the lights etc. It's very true what he says about a candle...you wouldn't burn a candle by day for light, yet you flick a switch without thinking about it.

I found it rather frightening that by 2050, if we continue as we are now, the Arctics will be gone...by Summer 2035 the disappearance of the summer ice-caps! It's our children and grandchildren that will have to deal with this issue in years to come, so we need to start helping them now.

I just knew one of the Brits would pick up on that! :lol:

I have a resolute and unyielding need to watch 'Wilde' :giggle:

Totally. I can't stand the thought that when I have kids, they might grow up in a completely different world to what we've known for the past x amount of years.

I've become rather fondly known in my office as "the recycling freak"!! :lol: we had a massive clear out day today and threw away TONNES of stuff. I went round everyones desk going through the rubbish bags and putting all the paper stuff that was in them into the green recycle bags instead. I think I filled about 15!!

:whistle:

:thumb: Great pics Shana, thank you.
I think this beautiful book will have to be on my Xmas list.
xxx

:thankyou: for sharing Shana! :thumb:

Wow, :thankyou: for posting these lovely pictures from the book Shana :friends: I just love the sunglasses he is wearing in this picture.

Thanks for the latest scans Shana!!!

Sebastian is wonderful, the pictures are so breathtaking!
I think I'm going to have to invest in this book :thumb:

A million thanks Shana :)

I absolutely agree to Jennifer :wave:
It's funny how those two look alike in that photo... :lol: :flirt:

I hope, Orlando wasn't freezing too much...
Up to three weeks ago, I was "working in the field" and one of my friends was wearing exactly the same jacket as Orlando does in that picture...
After 9 hours in the rain, we knew "waterproofed" ment in this case, that once water is in tha jacket, it doesn't come out... :lmao:
Poor guy...

I have buyed the book "Antarctica" on official website:
http://www.earthawareeditions.com.
The book is AMAZING, it deserves all the money I have spent, and the photos are wonderful.
