Book Description
Icebergs to Iguanas is a collection of Jason Edwards' treasured National Geographic images and memories enlightened with behind-the-scenes stories, fascinating captions and personal observations extracted from my field journals. Collected from over three decades of nature photography, Icebergs to Iguanas will transport you to distant lands, introducing fascinating species, ecosystems and ancient cultures. Spectacular imagery and insightful behind-the-scenes narratives examine the wonder of wild places, and our impact on the planet. Whether you are an armchair traveller or seasoned passport-filler, an amateur photographer or professional documentarian, you will be inspired by the diversity of our incredible world. From Jason Edwards: I've spent the past three decades exploring the world with a camera in hand, bearing witness to the miracle of Nature and the complexities of the human condition. After countless frames and unmapped miles, I'm excited to introduce 'Icebergs to Iguanas' featuring a collection of my favourite National Geographic images and behind-the-scenes tales. Whittled from countless miles and enlightened with fascinating captions and personal observations extracted from my field journals, 'Icebergs to Iguanas'has been described as 'a love letter to planet Earth'. Photography is more than just capturing beautiful pictures it's about telling a story. My goal is to take people on a journey filled with beauty, adventure, hardship and danger, disease, laughter, and wonder. To inspire people about the natural world in which we live, whilst simultaneously celebrating our diverse cultures.

Before It's Gone
Author: Jonathan Vigliotti
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1668008173
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In the vein of This Changes Everything and Saving Us, a character-driven and shocking up-close look at the way climate change is affecting America, right now, and a call to action to protect the people and places we stand to lose if nothing is done to preserve our planet. Discussion of the climate crisis has always suffered from a problem of abstraction. Data points and warnings of an overheated future struggle to break through the noise of everyday life. Deniers often portray climate solutions as inconvenient, expensive, and unnecessary. And many politicians, cloistered by status and focused always on their next election, do not yet see climate as a winning issue in the short run, so they don’t take any action at all. But climate change, and its devastating consequences, has kept apace whether we want to pay attention or not. CBS News national correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti has seen that crisis unfold for himself, spending nearly two decades reporting across the United States (and the world) documenting the people, communities, landmarks, and traditions we’ve already surrendered. Vigliotti shares with urgency and personal touch the story of an America on the brink. Before It’s Gone traces Vigliotti’s travels across the country, taking him to the frontlines of climate disaster and revealing the genuine impacts of climate change that countless Americans have already been forced to confront. From massive forest fires in California to hurricanes in Louisiana, receding coastlines in Massachusetts and devastated fisheries in Alaska, we learn that warnings of a future impacted by climate are no more; the climate catastrophe is already here. This is the story of America, and Americans, on the edge, and a powerful argument that radical action on climate change with a respect for its people and traditions is not only possible, but also the only way to preserve what we love.

Case Studies in Oceanography and Marine Affairs
Author: Joan Brown
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080983979
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This is the last volume in the six-volume Open University set. Each volume is required by students as a relevant part of the Open University course but designed so that it can equally be used as an individual textbook. This volume differs from the others in the series in that it does not draw specifically upon traditional scientific disciplines. The first part of the book provides an historical review of the Law of the Sea culminating in the present day situation. The second part is devoted to two case studies, covering not only the scientific aspects of a particular oceanographic environment, but also the social, political and legal consequences and implications of human interactions with that environment. Each volume in this set is well laid out and copiously illustrated with full colour photographs. Questions to help develop arguments can be found in the text with answers provided at the back. Each chapter concludes with a summary to help consolidate understanding before proceeding with the next section.
