The story of James Cameron and his crew's journey from "Avatar's" conception to the vast production effort is examined in the first authoritative and official record in words and pictures from the most significant film of today.

Academy Award-winning writer/director James Cameron, the maker of Titanic and the creator of the Terminator series, has been crafting Avatar for over four years.
