Fragile Earth

Turn on the television, read any newspaper - one cannot avoid stories of major changes that are taking place on Earth. An increase in hurricanes and tornadoes, huge tsunamis, flooding along the coasts, melting of polar ice caps. What's going on?

With over two hundred stunning images from the air, land and space, Fragile Earth attempts to answer these questions by bringing together the most dramatic natural and man-made events. You can trace, building-by-building, the path Hurricane Katrina took through New Orleans; or see clearly the damage done to the presidential palace in Baghdad during the war in Iraq. The rapid decrease in glaciers worldwide and the impact on our coastline of rising sea levels is vividly illustrated.
