Why read it?
1 author picked Edward Burtynsky with Jennifer Baichwal and Nick de Pencier as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a picture speaks a thousand words, this book packs a real punch. It is primarily a collection of exquisitely detailed photographs by Burtynsky that document human destruction of the earth on a geological scale, and essays by all three authors; and even a special contribution by Margaret Atwood.

From Andrew's list on the future in a climate changed world.
