First published in 1999, The Earth from the Air has been a huge success, translated into nineteen languages and selling more than 1.5 million copies worldwide. Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s photographs have also been exhibited all around the world, and are now considered classics.

This third edition features new photographs, all-new essays and updated information by a range of experts, among them Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute. It is intended to heighten the public’s awareness of today’s urgent ecological issues. Now more than ever, this book stands as an aid to understanding and a call to action.
