The New Earth From Above: 365 Days is now fully revised and updated. Reaching across the continents, from the icebergs of Antarctica to the cotton fields of India, the breathtaking, full-color photographs are accompanied by informative new text that describes the environmental concerns related to each location. Each chapter of the book opens with an insightful introduction by a different noted author who addresses a subject critical to the future of our planet: agriculture, biodiversity, sustainable development, energy, forests, water, and global warming.
This edition includes 60 new and unpublished photos taken by Arthus-Bertrand over the past few years. The text throughout the book is revised to reflect changes in the world since the last publication, and includes three new authors: the heads of WWF France and the Observatory of Renewable Resources, and the president of Alter Eco, a fair trade firm. Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s powerful aerial photographs reveal the incidental beauty of our planet and are reminders of our capacity to save or destroy it.
HEAVY to hold, but thrilling and educational to read by any age! This was a book I found at my son's home and found I could not put it down. He had an earlier version but as soon as I saw it I knew at least two folks who are VERY hard to buy for on any occasion and I knew immediately that I needed two of them. I did order the newer versions. However, this is like opening a National G.. You can hardly put it down except it is a very heavy book! That did not impede my twin eight year old grandsons sitting on the floor thumbing through this. I picked it up...
