书籍简介

优雅的设计与美丽的图像相结合，探索和解释地球的自然财富。

这是一本关于地球的信息量大、视觉效果好的介绍。本书的核心内容是单个物体的大型详细照片，其中许多物体小到可以拿在手里，每张照片都充分说明了地球环境的某个方面以及它们是如何工作的。例如，被困在南极冰芯中的古代空气气泡揭示了地球的气候是如何随时间变化的。一块被火山抛入空中数英里的浮石有助于解释构造板块碰撞时的情况。

这本书的结构是围绕着一个想象中的旅程展开的，带领读者从地心到地球表面（包括陆地和海洋），并上升到大气层的顶部。书中涵盖了草原、森林和珊瑚礁等环境，包括生物和无生命的领域。每一个专题页都聚焦于一个标志性的地方，如亚马逊雨林或死海，或一个特殊的过程，如冰川侵蚀。

自然界中许多迷人的地方都是遥不可及的。这本美丽的、内容丰富的书将它们近距离地展现在我们面前。

Elegant design combined with beautiful images to explore and explain Earth's natural riches.

This is an informative, visually arresting introduction to planet Earth. The core of the book features large, detailed photographs of single objects, many of them small enough to be held in the hand, that each speak volumes about an aspect of Earth's environments and how they work. For example, bubbles of ancient air trapped inside an Antarctic ice core reveal how Earth's climate has changed over time. A piece of pumice thrown several miles into the air by a volcano helps to explain what happens when tectonic plates collide.

The book is structured around an imaginary journey that takes the reader from the inner core to Earth's surface (including both land and oceans) and up to the top of the atmosphere. Taking in environments such as grasslands, forests, and reefs, the coverage includes both living and inanimate realms. Feature spreads each throw a spotlight on an iconic place, such as the Amazon Rainforest or the Dead Sea, or a particular process, such as glacial erosion.

Many of the most fascinating parts of the natural world are beyond reach. This beautiful, informative book brings them up-close and within our grasp.
