For more than a decade, Eric Meola has returned repeatedly to India, photographing the people, temples, landscapes, architecture, celebrations, and art of this uniquely exuberant and incredibly diverse country.

Reviews about India: In Word and Image (7):

I thought there would be more pictures of animals in here because of the cover but its still a good book. I would get it new and not used, I have a library copy and I think that it is pretty beat up.

Eric Meola is a master of color photography. This book is a visual trip for the eyes, mind, and heart. Mr. Meola has captured the festivals, but more importantly, the soul of India. Whether or not the reader is interested in India, you can't help being drawn in to the photographs of the people, the landscapes, and the atmosphere that is so richly portrayed.

Beyond the exquisite color photographic compositions in this book, Mr. Meola has that rare photographer's eye to see what most people don't even notice....the glow off a burning cigarette, a gecko that happened to be sitting on a sculpture, a telling expression in the eyes of a young woman.

This book along with its moving text, is a tribute to an India that exists in a Kiplingesque dreamscape that may one day be gone. Enjoy it now and share it with those you love.

Before my initial trip to India, I received this book. It beautifully illuystrates the colors of India that you will see there and helps to identify the culture and amazing people who live in this vast country.

Last fall, my wife's son and his wife got married in India. I saw a couple of very favorable reviews of this book in newspapers, and decided to buy it for them for Christmas. (I Can use that word online, can't I?)

When they opened it, we were all amazed not only by the beautiful pictures, but also by the mini-essays that accompanied them. This is a coffee table sized book that begs to be read, and not just perused.

The photographs are arresting, beautiful and moving. The text is right on and varied in approach and subject. The result is a book that one comes back to time and again. I completely agree with Rob Atkins review.

This book was given to a family who plan to visit India. They were so excited to receive it--said it was a wonderful "window" to what they expect to see in India. Beautiful pictures and articles. A definite display book in your home. And I also must mention that the price is the best that I found on the Internet!

An excellent coffee table book that almost can migrate to the serious bookshelf. The literary selections are quite good, but more of them are needed so that the offering can be more of a quality tasting menu and less an experience of eye candy...
I bought this book as a gift for a grandson who will be spending part of his college year in India. It is a great way to give him an early view of what he will see there. It would have been nice to have a bit more of the literary excerpts.
