Planet Animal
Across the globe, from the icy Arctic poles to the sweeping savannahs and the deepest oceans, a surprising number of animal species are now threatened by extinction due to hunting, or habitat destruction, and now climate change. Planet Animal showcases some of the world's best-loved animals at risk, from gorillas to elephants and albatrosses, and using a new, dynamic format and sumptuous photographs, explores each animal in the context of its habitat. Planet Animal takes the hugely popular subject of animals and combines it with the topical subjects of climate change and habitat destruction.

Protecting Life on Earth
Written to be accessible to any college-level reader, Protecting Life on Earth offers a non-technical, yet comprehensive introduction to the growing field of conservation science. This multifaceted exploration of our current biodiversity crisis delivers vivid examples throughout, including features on some of nature’s most compelling wildlife. Beginning with a brief introduction to environmental history, the text introduces the central concepts of evolution and ecology, and covers several major issues related to the conservation of biodiversity including extinction, climate change, sustainability, conservation law, and invasive species. It also touches on adjacent disciples such as economics and sociology as they relate to conservation. The text even includes practical advice on the decisions we make every day—how we spend our money, where we live and work, what we eat and buy. Throughout, Protecting Life on Earth underscores the ways in which our future is tied to that of Earth’s threatened species, and demonstrates exactly why conservation is so vitally important for us all.

What Can We Do About Endangered Animals?
Animal species are disappearing at an alarming rate. This informative book introduces kids to some of the animals in danger and examines what can be done to preserve Earths ecological diversity.

Protecting Earth's Rain Forests
From brilliantly colored birds and wild elephants to towering trees and exotic flowers, rain forests are home to more than half of Earth’s plants and animals. People living in rain forests depend on this vast array of life, and Earth itself relies on the world’s rain forests to keep our climate and atmosphere in balance. But rain forests around the world are under threat. Once rain forests covered nearly 14 percent of Earth, but now they have shrunk to less than half that size. People around the globe are joining the quest to save rain forests. With engaging text and eye-catching images—plus a special Going Green section—this book tells you all about Earth’s rain forests and what you can do to protect them.
Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life
"An audacious and concrete proposal…Half-Earth completes the 86-year-old Wilson’s valedictory trilogy on the human animal and our place on the planet." —Jedediah Purdy, New Republic In his most urgent book to date, Pulitzer Prize–winning author and world-renowned biologist Edward O. Wilson states that in order to stave off the mass extinction of species, including our own, we must move swiftly to preserve the biodiversity of our planet. In this "visionary blueprint for saving the planet" (Stephen Greenblatt), Half-Earth argues that the situation facing us is too large to be solved piecemeal and proposes a solution commensurate with the magnitude of the problem: dedicate fully half the surface of the Earth to nature. Identifying actual regions of the planet that can still be reclaimed—such as the California redwood forest, the Amazon River basin, and grasslands of the Serengeti, among others—Wilson puts aside the prevailing pessimism of our times and "speaks with a humane eloquence which calls to us all" (Oliver Sacks).
