If each square of these can well cover 60 kilometers by 60, the lesson they end up giving us is to think big. In a set where we all depend on each other, and the slightest movement reverberates and ripples throughout this electronic fabric that blinks with its alarm signals -there the erosion threatens- as well as with identifying joy: truly, and thanks to these images, we all feel at once tiny but essential. This region of the world is our home and we must take care of it. Seen from above, men also form a constellation. To all of us, in all the American countries, the surprising and novel images of this book open an unsuspected dimension. The American eye opens over its own habitat with a futuristic projection we had not imagined. But the future, certainly, is now. The one we all must build from the updated awareness that these pages reiterate to us about human and natural wealth, and the unique beauty of these countries that we admire proudly and for which we work tirelessly. Seen from flight, the earth becomes pleasant and hospitable.
