 by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
Ecology, a science scarcely a century old, aims to give its practitioners an approach to understanding how whole natural systems - for example, watersheds, deserts, and estuaries--work. Few books translate this aim as well as this one, a stunning collection of photographs that affords viewers a window into the world's workings. It's something of a commonplace, for instance, that the large-scale logging now being visited on the world's rainforests is causing untold damage to tropical ecosystems. In French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand's hands, this problem is translated from arid fact to alarming image, giving meaning to today's environmental headlines.
