T


his stunning coffee table book
is brimming with awe-inspiring
images of nature, plant and animal
life and environmental change. Sir David
Attenborough’s foreword is an inspiring call
for action. He asserts our perilous planet has
created its own tipping point in this time of
climate change that scientists call the Anthropocene, or human
geological epoch. A companion to the Netflix documentary series,
the book goes into even more depth and presents a compelling
case for why we should act now to preserve our planet, all the while
celebrating the beauty of nature from wildebeest migrations across
the Serengeti to the penguin colonies of Antarctica.
