From Publishers Weekly:
While the cause espoused in g this book--the health of our planet--is certainly a good one, the 80 photojournalists whose work is unveiled here turn in images ranging from inspiring to schlocky. In the latter category is an inevitable melting sunset in pink and purple tones (over Mono Lake, Calif., where "decades of water diversion by Los Angeles is killing or dispossessing the ducks, gulls and shore birds of one of the most remarkable desert ecosystems known"); in the former, a bald eagle, hurt by the Valdez oil spill, takes a sprightly recuperative walk at the Arctic Animal Hospital in Anchorage, Alaska. Accompanying each picture of a place or species currently endangered or thriving at the mercy of humans is a paragraph or two detailing the phenomenon and its story. The scope of the project is emphatically international, encompassing rhinoceroses in Nepal (viewed by respectful "eco-tourists" who avoid doing harm to the animals' habitat); an Indian reservation in Washington State that environmental writer Brower contends has been carelessly deforested; and Copsa Mica, Romania, a heavily polluted industrial city ironically designed as a model of its kind. Author tour.

This impressive volume of pictures tak en by some 80 international photographers shows severe environmental damage around the world and what some people are doing about it. A short text accompanies each photograph. Nearly all the photos are striking; some are unforgettable. One shows an Ethiopian woman mourning, her dead infant lying in a cotton wrap bound with twine, while in the background an expressionless man looks on. A few pages later the gulf between rich and poor is vividly contrasted with a scene from a congested Toys R Us. But this is not only a work of anger and despair. Hope about the earth's future is presented in examples of communities and individuals recycling, replanting, and restoring. Highly recommended.
