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.
