Our days begin and end the same way: with the rising and setting of the sun. Sometimes brilliant and intense, other times subdued and shrouded in clouds-like life itself-the perspective may change even when the vantage point does not. In this celebration of life, a year's worth of stunning photographs capture nature at her most elemental and magnificent, and are matched with meditations, passages, poetry and contemplations from some of the best-known inspirational leaders of our time.

Sunrise Sunset is a gentle reminder to begin each day with awe and wonder, and end with reflection and gratitude.
