Eco-Holiday Gift (vol. 1): Now That's a Cool Book

As the holiday gifting season approaches, the Lazy E appreciates presents that are easy-to-find, easy to use, and require little to no assembly. If that gift happens to be inspiring like Sebastian Copeland’s “Antarctica: A Call To Action”, well that’s just an added bonus.

Copeland has made a name for himself as a documentary-maker and photographer capturing beautiful images ranging from nudes and nature, to celebrities. Copeland says, "Something like the Burning Man Festival celebrates humanity in a natural environment, and the photos I have taken reflect that. Antarctica on the other hand thrives outside the reach of humans, yet is an ecosystem most effected by them. It is like a Ground Zero of Climate change."

If someone on your list loves breathtakingly beautiful photos, this book is a great choice for them. Or, for another type of coffee table photo book of super-cute babies strategically positioned in flowers and watering cans, there is always Anne Geddes.

In this video, Sebastian talks about the mission of the book, some of his favorite photos, and man-handling penguins to get the good shots.
