National Audubon Society Pocket Guide to Earth from Space (National Audubon Society Pocket Guides)

Summary: A beautiful and informative gift idea
Review: This small book contains 80 vivid and unusual colour photographs of different parts of the earth from various satellites. It makes an excellent gift for a high school graduation present. One of my favorites is a Landsat image of the AntiAtlas Mountains in Morocco. There is a detailed explanation of each colour plate -- how it was photographed and what all of the striking features are.
