Summary
Our planet is a fascinating and complex place, but the challenges we
face can seem overwhelming. How does our climate actually work? Should
we worry about the global supply of drinking water? How much land do we
need to grow food? And can technology help reverse the damage we’ve
done?
In Atlas of a Threatened Planet, award-winning
book and graphic designer Esther Gonstalla digs into these questions and
many more through her attractive and easy-to-understand infographics.
Gonstalla is known for breaking complex topics into digestible and
memorable pieces in her popular “Our World in 50 Graphics” book series.
In this book, she turns her designer’s eye to the most critical threats
to our environment, from shrinking glaciers and declining biodiversity
to shifting ocean currents. These accessible and fun illustrations will
show readers that, although the threats are grave, not all is lost.
Changes in technology, infrastructure, and our outlook can still help us
protect the places we love.
Atlas of a Threatened Planet
will spark your curiosity and invite you to see the Earth in a new way.
It is written for all who want to understand the interlocking pieces of
our home—and fight for the best ideas and strategies to save it.
