advanced printing process: The printing of this book utilizes a revolutionary new color reproduction technique called

Chroma Centric™, which is eight times more precise than standard offset printing. To meet the demands of high-density printing, this

process uses stochastic screening and specially formulated inks, enhancing the color gamut by more than 25 percent. With this technique,

Insight Editions is creating perhaps the most stunning color photography book of its kind.

Earth Is My Witness is the most definitive collection of

Art Wolfe photography ever created. This lavishly produced

work spans the globe, bringing the beauty of the planet’s

landscapes, wildlife, and cultures to life. Uniquely conceived and

undeniably breathtaking, this elegantly crafted masterpiece will

thrill even the most avid collectors of nature photography and

Art Wolfe books and prints. The largest collection of unpublished

Art Wolfe work ever assembled from throughout his well-

documented and widely celebrated career, this unprecedented

volume is as comprehensive as it is inspirational.

From the colorful cultures of the Amazon rain forest to the

nomads inhabiting the boundless Mongolian plains, the world’s

indigenous people are intimately portrayed in Wolfe’s photography.

Other images of wildlife reveal a planet alive with unique, playful,

and at times fierce personalities. Equally powerful, Wolfe’s vibrant

landscapes are dreamlike in their artful and calculated rendering—

sweeping, surreal, and infinitely compelling.

Setting the stage for this fascinating journey is award-winning

author and National Geographic explorer-in-residence Wade Davis.

Together, Davis and Wolfe present a world that borders on the

fantastic but is all the more precious for its fragililty. At the heart

of Wolfe’s work is the appeal for environmental preservation,

which he makes with beautiful precision in this definitive opus.
