Global Snaps (500 Photographs from 7 Continents)

Sunlight hits a jumble of ice floes in Antartica, emphasizing different textures and patterns. Two kangaroos look up expectantly in Australia. Michael Clinton's book, Global Snaps captures distinct instants in time and place. Aside from a foreword by Town & Country editor in chief Pamela Fiori and a short introduction, the entire book is devoted to Clinton's mesmerizing photographs, organized by continent. Particularly remarkable is the sheer variety of locations. Whether it's a shot of wind-ruffled sand dunes in Tunisia or the dance of lights on the Eiffel Tower at night, at least one image is bound to stay with you—and inspire you to seek your own adventure.
