Format:Hardcover
A fantastic, thought provoking and somewhat frightening view of our planet. This book is a must for anyone with even a vague interest in environmentalism, its superb photographs tells a shocking story of the changing face of this earth.
unputdownable.

Stunning book showing breathtaking photographs of changes happening to the world. Many of the photographs are shown as before and after giving real context to the rapid changes that are happening such as coastal erosion, glacier melting and rivers flooding. There are also informative pages with statistics, maps and text on each subject discussed in the book.
The final chapter gives an interesting insight into what the future may hold for us.
This book really brings geography alive - I just wish it had been available when I was at school.

Having brought 2 of these books as presents i took a sneaky peek inside them. Wow! fantastic pictures, information and very thought provoking. I am about to buy one for myself having heard that one of the presents (a Christmas present) was picked up by a visitor of the receiver and they stayed up half the night looking / reading it! Can't get a fairer review than that!

Was a great gift for my environmentalist sister...
Beautiful book, and the images are absolutely amazing - how can anyone deny that global warming doesn't exist (George W Bush!?). Read more
