Description
Summary:"Timed to the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking international bestselling book Earth from Above, this updated version features new images and refreshed text that creates an unforgettable, inspiring portrait of our planet today Since its original publication in 1999, Yann Arthus-Bertrand's Earth From Above has been a touchstone for the environmental movement throughout the world, selling more than three million copies in all languages. The result of an epic, ongoing journey across five continents and 60 countries, this spectacular portrait of our planet is also an iconic reminder of its fragility. In this 25th anniversary edition, Arthus-Bertrand and more than a dozen experts on current environmental issues look back upon the past decade's progress. With 30 percent of the images brand new and entirely updated text throughout, Arthus-Bertrand poignantly juxtaposes Earth's raw beauty with the evidence of humanity's negative impact upon our home. As Earth's climate changes and sustainability is ever-present in the news, governmental policy, and organizations around the world, this book continues to be timely and essential decade after decade."--
