★優雅的設計與美麗的圖像互相結合，探索並解釋地球豐富的自然資源。
這是關於地球的資訊豐富、視覺上引人入勝的介紹。本書的核心是巨大而詳細的物體照片─其中許多物體的實際尺寸小到可以拿在手裡─而每一個都講述了地球環境的某一面向及其運作方式；例如，困在南極冰芯之中的古代氣泡，揭露了地球氣候如何隨時間發生變遷，又如一塊被火山噴發拋向空中數公里的浮石，有助於解釋地殼板塊碰撞時會發生什麼……
這本書圍繞著一段想像的旅程展開，帶領讀者從地核到地球表面(包括陸地和海洋)，再到大氣層的頂端，這其中包含草原、森林和珊瑚礁等環境，覆蓋範圍從生物到無生命領域，每種主題的焦點放在一個標誌性的地方，例如亞馬遜雨林或死海、或一個特定的自然演變過程──如冰川侵蝕。
自然界中許多最迷人的地方原本都是遙不可及的，而這本美麗且內容豐富的書籍，將它們帶到您的眼前，彷彿觸手可及！
Elegant design combined with beautiful i，mages 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.
