Talk about a fresh perspective! Perched 35,000
feet in the air, Window Seat decodes the sights to be seen on any flight
across North America. Broken down by region, this unusual guide features
70 aerial photographs; a fold-out map of North America showing major flight
paths; profiles of each region covering its landforms, waterways, and cities;
tips on spotting major sights, such as the Northern Lights, the Grand Canyon,
and Disney World; tips on spotting not-so-major sights such as prisons,
mines, and Interstates; and straightforward, friendly text on cloud shapes,
weather patterns, the continent's history, and more. A terrific book for
kids, frequent flyers, and armchair travelers alike, Window Seat is packed
with curious facts and colorful illustration, proving that flying doesn't
have to be a snooze. When it's possible to "read" the landscape
from above, a whole world unfolds at your feet.
