The Future Of The Earth: An Introduction To Sustainable Development For Young Readers

By: Robert Burleigh

Thirty-six of Yann Arthus-Bertrand's panoramic photographs, taken from the air, are gathered here to illustrate the importance of sustainable development.  Global warming and its consequences, the poverty of a significant part of the world's population, the depletion of natural resources, new forms of energy, urbanization -- this book leaves out none of the major ecological issues of our time and offers solutions for future generations.

The photographs, combined with clear and precise text and travel-book-style illustrations, make The Future of the Earth an accessible book, one to help young people understand that the future of the earth lies in their hands.
