This infographic atlas of nature's most impressive wonders and eye-popping oddities is bursting with discovery (Where's the most remote place on Earth?), whimsical insight (Which animals have launched into space?), and startling revelations (How much forest have we destroyed?) that will change the way you see the natural world--and that celebrate our planet and the plants and animals with whom we share it.
