Review
On the surface Cambodia may seem a very homogenous place where the land and people look the same everywhere. But not viewed through Kraig Lieb s photographs. He has gotten to the core of life in every part of the country imaginable, and they bring to life a rich and vibrant culture of warm, happy people who are rebuilding their nation after decades of darkness. ----John McDermott, fine art photographer and gallery owner, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
I always welcome the coming of a book painting a more serene life in Cambodia than the one I witnessed in the country's recent history. This nonchalant kingdom laid a spell on me more than forty years ago and its buoyant street life leaves a mark on every visitor. Although still poor and underdeveloped, Cambodia, a millennium in the making, holds most travelers in awe. ----Roland Neveu, photographer, author of Cambodia, The Years of Turmoil.

great book
Fabulous look at this beautiful country. Photography is amazing
Nice coffee table book. Nice pictures good read about Cambodia.
Brilliant book photography great
Pictures of Angkor Wat are a dime a dozen, but the photograph on the cover of Kraig Lieb and Tom Vater's Cambodia brings a new magnificence to the temple-city by giving prominence to its natural setting. Anybody who has spent any time at all in Cambodia comes away with a new appreciation of the sky--its piercing blue, its drama of clouds--and this is captured wonderfully by Lieb's skilled photographer's eye. It's a pure, sharp and unhackneyed image that provides the perfect introduction to this book and sets the tone for what lies within.Both Lieb and Vater know Cambodia well and their collaborative work gives a view of the country that will enlarge the knowledge of everyone who spends time poring over these pages. Readers are taken on a journey of the best kind, filled with history and enticing descriptions of far-flung corners of a country that is still relatively unexplored. Lieb's photographs go beyond Cambodia's national borders to areas that were once part of the Khmer Empire, with glimpses of political turmoil, natural disaster, and the Khmer legacy found in Laos, Vietnam and Thailand.Within Cambodia, the small city of Kompot, the wilderness of Mondulkiri, and the haunted beauty of Kep's Bokor Mountain are temptingly introduced in words and photos that give vivid substance to a country steeped in past legends and bloodstained contemporary politics. It's the details of text and image that make this book soar far beyond the usual coffee table offering and turn it into a valuable (as well as beautiful) resource to be read again and again.
Had a chance to leaf through "Cambodia: A Journey Through the Land of the Khmer" at the Phnom Penh airport and found both the photos and the text to be among the best I've seen for this magical country. My bag was too full to buy the book there so glad I could buy it here in the U.S. The book, organized by region, gives you a deeper understanding of the country through insightful words and images.I especially appreciate the photos of the people -- from the capital, Phnom Penh, to the rural areas. It's Cambodia's resilient people who make the country so vibrant and appealing, and Lieb's photos convey this.If you've been to Cambodia, the book will rekindle memories; if you're thinking of going "Cambodia: A Journey Through the Land of Khmer" will make you want to visit even more. And the final chapter, Beyond the Borders, has some nice shots of photos from neighboring countries. One final comment: the quality of the printing is outstanding, the photos are clear and sharp and the photos really pop.
