Understanding Earth Through Data and Design

Steve Jenkins presents a visual tour of our planet across seven sections covering the solar system, Earth itself, its deep history, a single day on Earth, its creatures, natural disasters and its possible future. Rather than dense text, the book relies on bold infographics to convey facts such as how many species are lost each day or how much plastic enters the ocean.

It works equally well read cover to cover or dipped into at random, and its clear visual approach suits both confident younger readers and adults who enjoy science presented in an accessible, browsable format.

Jenkins is a Caldecott Honor winning author and illustrator known for combining a graphic design background with a lifelong interest in natural history.
