The Human Planet is a visual report on the state of the Earth today from a photographer who has surveyed the globe to report on such urgent issues as climate change, agriculture, and engineering for change. George Steinmetz is at home on every continent, chronicling the human project that relentlessly redesigns the planet in its quest to build shelter, grow food, extract resources, generate energy, and create beauty through art and architecture. In his images, accompanied by authoritative text by renowned science writer Andrew Revkin, we are encountering the dramatic and perplexing new face of our ancient home.
