Overview by Benjamin Grant
A stunning and unique collection of satellite images of Earth that offer an unexpected look at humanity, derived from the wildly popular Daily Overview Instagram project. Inspired by the Overview Effect--a sensation that astronauts experience when given the opportunity to look down and view the Earth as a whole--the breathtaking, high definition satellite photographs in OVERVIEW offer a new way to look at the landscape that we have shaped. More than 200 images of industry, agriculture, architecture, and nature highlight incredible patterns while also revealing a deeper story about human impact. This extraordinary photographic journey around our planet captures the sense of wonder gained from a new, aerial vantage point and creates a perspective of Earth as it has never been seen before.Overview was founded by Benjamin Grant, who is also the author of Overview: A New View of Earth, Overview: Young Explorer's Edition, and Overview Timelapse. Since 2013, daily posts from his initiative have both delighted and challenged his global audience. Benjamin earned his bachelor's degree in history and art history from Yale University, where he also rowed heavyweight crew. He resides in San Francisco and commutes by bike.
