This is a dramatically illustrated and fastidiously annotated
survey of how climate change is altering the global ecosystem-from
melting glaciers to animal migrations, to droughts-not to mention
how it is affecting cities and societies. Photographer Gary Braasch,
an Ansel Adams Award winner, and writer Bill McKibben (author of
numerous books, including End of Nature and Deep Economy) go beyond
the data of leading climate scientists and attempt to leverage
information in the service of education. This may be the most deeply
researched photo book of all time.
Review by United Nations scientist Martin Parry in Nature Reports:
Climate Change, March 2008
In the growing clamour over global warming, eye-witness accounts
of a changing world stand out.
"Amidst the current rash of paperback
polemics on climate change, finding
a refreshing viewpoint can be a tough
challenge. Starting from his personal
photographic collection documenting the
impacts of a warming world, photojournalist
Gary Braasch rises to that challenge in Earth
under Fire. ..."

Gary joins famous kids author-illustrator Lynne Cherry for a
new book on climate science for middle school kids, their teachers
and parents. Please visit the book's home
page.

Watch for a dramatic new look at the world's greatest challenges,
from one of the creators of "A Day in the Life..." books.
