Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The powerful aerial photographs in this collection reveal the incidental beauty of the Earth and its inhabitants, while the authoritative text explores current issues of sustainable development affecting the world such as global warming and poverty.

Book News Annotation:

For each day of the year, Yann Arthus-Bertrand--with contributions from fellow photographers--depicts a different corner of the Earth in the stunning aerial photographs collected here. Capturing the often strange patterns formed from above by natural beauty as well as human architecture, society, industry, and waste, the color plates are complemented by a brief description or history of the site. In addition, twelve essays from conservation scholars consider the Earth's present and future health in the face of poverty, globalization, and climate change, also addressing sustainability, biodiversity, energy, and the oceans.
