520    An attention-grabbing primer on mankind's direct and 
       indirect effects on the natural world. This important book
       explains how such topics as global trends, economic 
       disparity, and invasive species, among others, have 
       changed the world in which we live. World-renowned 
       photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand's spectacular 
       photographs feature fragile environments that are at risk 
       of being lost as well as places that have already seen the
       devastating effects of human behavior. A poignant overview
       of the state of the globe, this book encourages readers to
       understand what is happening in the environment and to 
       take action. From the best-selling author and photographer
       of Earth from Above for Kids comes a great introduction to
       various developments affecting the earth on a global level
       -perfect for the classroom!
