Our changing planet: the view from space

This is a stunning and informative book for anyone interested in environmental issues and the beauty of our home planet. For over 40 years, satellites have been orbiting the Earth quietly monitoring the state of our planet.

Unseen by most of us, they are providing information on the many changes taking place, from movements in the land and volcanic eruptions, to human-caused changes such as the growth of cities, deforestation and the spread of pollutants in the atmosphere and oceans.
