Atlas of a Threatened Planet

“Esther Gonstalla has a talent for distilling complex scientific information into accessible, colorful infographic panels that explore the various environmental threats that our planet and our civilization face today…. This is a great resource for any class in which these problems are explored and for anyone who cares about the fate of the planet and wishes to understand and to act to help solve the problems.”– “Wildlife Activist”“The book is crammed with facts that are easily accessible, mainly because Gonstalla uses exceptional infographics, or pictograms, to provide a wealth of information on the state of the planet, along with solutions to the issues that she highlights. I, for one, will be using the graphics for future presentations, as they glow on the page and shout out the necessary numbers in a bid to get points across succinctly. I expect this book will be of value for many - from school students, to those interested in facts and figures around how the planet is faring.”– “The Biologist”
