This book presents a vivid snapshot of the crossroads humanity now faces, and will define the twenty-first century."</i>-Boyan Slat, CEO and Founder, The Ocean Cleanup<br><br><b>Holiday Gift Guide selection</b><p><b></b>...both beautiful and poignant, as in Paul Nicklen's photograph in Human Nature of a polar bear stranded on land by dwindling sea ice. The bear stares at the camera with an almost human gaze, suggesting a thinner line between species than we often assume." - <i>The Wall Street Journal</i></p><br><br><b>Holiday Gift Guide selection</b><p>"Photographers urge action on climate change with glorious images of the natural world." -People Magazine</p><br><br><i>"A feast of beauty and a source of outrage. This book belongs on your coffee table, in your hands, and in your heart as we demand action to protect this gorgeous, yet fragile planet we call home."</i>-Anthony Leiserowitz, Yale Center for Environmental Communication<br><br><i>"Spectacular, inspiring - images of what we must fight for, and against."</i>-Dr. James E. Hansen, Professor, Program on Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions of the Earth Institute, Columbia University, New York, USA<br><br><i>"These arresting photographs are the kind that dreams are made on, and show us viscerally just how much we stand to lose. We must act, else images like these will become for our descendants vivid but distant reminders of what we once treasured in nature, and how we ruined it."</i>-Kerry Emanuel, Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA<br><br><i>"Whomever said that a picture is worth 1,000 words vastly underestimated the value of powerful photographs. The photos in this book left me awash in emotions of love, and loss - and renewed my determination to protect the extraordinary gifts we have been given."</i>-Edward Maibach, Director, George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ruth Hobday and Geoff Blackwell are a creative team based in New Zealand.
