The horizon can elude us, as foliage and structures often obstruct our view. From above though, the landscape opens up, revealing a broad sweep with remarkable depth. \u003ci\u003eLouisiana from the Sky\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the world around us: landscapes, landmarks, and, from a distance, people. With clear eyes, the book also portrays the immense environmental challenges the state faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1974, celebrated photographer Philip Gould has built a career capturing the Boot, primarily from ground-level. In this collection, he uses both a drone camera and high-winged aircraft to see Louisiana anew. Bolstered by essays from journalist and folklorist Ben Sandmel, \u003ci\u003eLouisiana from the Sky\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new vision of the Pelican State.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Gould\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Louisiana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 10.95w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959569282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSandmel, Ben:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Author, musician, and folklorist \u003cstrong\u003eBen Sandmel\u003c\/strong\u003e travels Louisiana documenting traditional music, produces the musicians' interview stage at the New Orleans Jazz \u0026amp; Heritage Festival, and was the drummer\/producer on the Grammy-nominated album \u003ci\u003eDeep Water\u003c\/i\u003e by the historic Cajun band the Hackberry Ramblers.
