Going beyond polar bears and wildfires, this book is a manifesto for opening up the visual discourse on climate.Rather than portraying scenarios that can be remote from many people's lives, Saffron O'Neill shows how images can be powerful tools to engage viewers and enable them to connect different issues together.
