(P/B) HOME

Παρουσίαση

From Yann Arthus-Bertrand, the author behind the best-selling "Earth From Above", comes a moving and beautifully photographed hymn to our planet.
"Home", scheduled to release in conjunction with a film of the same name, is a globe-spanning exploration, a celebration of Earth's beauty, and an impassioned call to protect our home from destruction.
"Home" delves deeper into the themes of Yann Arthus-Bertrand's film, showing us that options do exist for changing the world politically, socially, and economically.
Because environmental conservation is not simply the will to protect our planet. It's a new vision of the world. (From the publisher)
