Publisher's Description
MOTHER EARTH
Through the Eyes of Women Photographers
and Writers
Edited by Judith Boice
Revised Tenth-Anniversary Edition
'Combining the traditions of environmentalism and color photography,
these photographs move us with their
beauty and sincerity.'-Annie Leibovitz
With more than seventy brilliant color photographs and accompanying rich text, Mother Earth combines the work of some of
the world's most talented women photographers with the poetry
and prose of eminent women writers to present a unique
perspective on our planet.
Divided into five sections, the book celebrates Earth's distinct yet interwoven realms: animal, mineral, plant, human,
and oneness, the realm where all inexorably meet. In each section, an introductory essay or story is followed by pairings of
images and quotes, which together reveal Mother Earth's tenderness and power, playfulness and intensity, intimate detail
and vast breadth, inspiring readers to look afresh at her fragile
yet powerful beauty and the interconnectedness of all life.
