Summary of Time Planet Earth: An Illustrated History

TIME joins scientists in the field, visits with indigenous people and consults with experts to report on the biggest story of this year and every year: Planet Earth. And we visit the Earth's extremes: the longest rivers, tallest mountains and driest deserts on the planet. This beautifully illustrated volume, featuring the work of award-winning photographers, presents a portrait of our wondrous planet--and of all the beings that call it home--that is revelatory, awe-inspiring and essential.

* Perfect for those who want simply to enjoy beautiful photographs or those who want to learn the history, geology, geography, and life forms on this planet
* Divided into broad major sections, containing spreads that function as individual units and as a larger theme
* Includes fascinating, informative graphic spreads from TIME's celebrated graphic artists--from the science of wildfires to what happens inside a hurricane
* Features multiple points of entry: a spread might contain three or four sidebars--trivia, definitions, scientific debates, history, locations, Top Ten lists--all guaranteed to add fun and information
