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includes 60 new and unpublished photos taken by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.
