Antarctica's environment today is a microcosm of the wold environment's future: as endangered creatures, such as the chinstrap penguins, humpback whales, and albatrosses continue to face extinction, research scientists have concluded that this icy ecosystem serves as a final warning of impending environmental deterioration. Sebastian Copeland's photographs have captured both the incredible beauty of the continent and the devastation that climate changes have wreaked on it. His data, photographs, and conclusions — along with contributions from Will Steger, David De Rothschild, Stephen Schneider, Zac Goldsmith, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Leonardo DiCaprio — bring to readers with insight and urgency the momentous reality of the not so distant future with insight and urgency.

This review is from: Antarctica: The Global Warning (Hardcover)
The photography in this book is absolutely amazing. Copeland says that he didn't mess around with the colors, because Antarctica's own colors are stunning. You'll be amazed.
The book is carbon neutral, you get a DVD with it, and it all goes for a good cause. Buy this book!!

Breathtaking!!!,
This review is from: Antarctica: The Global Warning (Hardcover)
The photography in this book is exquisite. Really humbling to be able to see this fleeting beauty that most of us never have the opportunity to see in person. What a gift! While the Antarctica may not be our home, this book inspires to take better care of the whole planet!
And what a bold reminder to the changing nature of our planet! Copeland really has made an artistic bookmark in history with these images. I recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in natural beauty or just wants to blow their mind open! Seriously!!!
