The Face of the Earth synopsis

This vibrant book attracts dramatic and diverse terrain - volcanoes, glaciers, pylabong, canyons, prairies and rainforests - to explore how humans have made sense of the magnificent landscape of our planet. In a rich format of scientific, cultural and personal stories, "The Face of the Earth" examines mirage, satellite images, heroes of lodges and nomads, cave paintings and popular films, and explores how we live with the forces of great nature formation - from fire to variable climate and adaptive complexity.

The book illuminates diverse topics such as the literary life of the hollow theories of the earth, the links between the little ice age of Frankenstein's monster, the appeal of the desert spirit and their meager water. Including live living accounts by scientists and writers in Saudi Arabia, Australia, Alaska, England, the Rocky Mountains, Antarctica, and elsewhere.

The "face of the earth" paints the depth and complexity of our interconnectedness with global nature.
