Literary Global Book Awards (https://literaryglobal.com/) has given my new book, Around the World in Eighty Photos, a five-star review along with a gold award. Here is their review:

Jeremiah Gilbert’s Around the World in Eighty Photos is more than a collection of stunning images—it’s a journey through the lens of an experienced photographer and travel writer. With visits to over a hundred countries across all seven continents, Gilbert offers a rare glimpse into the diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes that make our world extraordinary.

An award-winning photographer with internationally published and exhibited work, Gilbert understands that photography is one of the most powerful forms of storytelling. This visual odyssey spans the globe, from the vibrant chaos of city life to the quiet majesty of nature’s wonders. But what truly sets this collection apart is the accompanying reflections that bring depth to each image, capturing the essence of the places and moments behind them.

From California to the remote islands of Oceania, Around the World in Eighty Photos is more than a travelogue—it’s an immersive experience. Each image, paired with local history and cultural insights, reveals beauty in overlooked details: a weathered staircase, shifting natural light in a centuries-old church, or boats waiting for the tide’s return.

For photography enthusiasts, Gilbert provides insights into his techniques and creative vision, making this collection both an artistic showcase and a guide to seeing the world differently. His ability to capture mood and texture sets it apart from typical tourist snapshots—offering, for example, a stark view of Everest Base Camp rather than the familiar grandeur of Mount Everest.

While no book can capture every wonder of the world, Around the World in Eighty Photos presents a striking mosaic of moments and places. Whether seeking artistic inspiration, a fresh perspective on travel, or simply a spark of curiosity, this collection is sure to ignite wanderlust.
