| ‘Sensational … world class’ | | – Amateur Photographer |
We have reached the critical moment in history when we must urgently decide what relationship we will have with the planet that sustains all known life. Will we continue with our short-sighted plunder, or will we take the positive steps necessary to secure our common future? Through extraordinary photographs this important book shows why the stakes are so high and time is so short. – Tony Juniper, Director, Friends of the Earth
Celebrate the beauty of our world – and its diversity – through these extraordinary photographs. 150 stunning images from the world’s best photographers illustrate the many ways in which nature and human life share the planet – sometimes in balance, sometimes not.
