The newly published National Geographic Image Collection (Focal Point) is a beautifully curated selection of images celebrating 12 decades of coverage of exploration, science, wildlife and diverse peoples. The photographs in this handsomely printed 500-page book were culled from the National Geographic’s archive of almost 11 million images. They include a refreshing mix of classic National Geographic images and quirky and humorous less known photographs.
