Convenient infographics to illuminate inconvenient truths...

A mind-boggling visualisation of the impacts of global warming

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Everything you wanted to know about climate change but were too afraid to ask!

The terrifying effects of a warming planet are impossible to ignore, but sometimes it's hard to pick through the facts and to understand exactly what's happening and how. Changing World, a book of bright, bold infographics, illuminates the realities of climate change in hard numbers, digestible data, and vivid visualisations.

How will rising sea levels affect us? What is the impact of meat on the planet? Which industries create the most emissions? How do renewable energies compare to one another? What are the most effective things we as individuals can do to help the planet?

Without sugar-coating or fear-mongering, Changing World conveniently unpacks inconvenient truths in a way that is accessible to readers young and old.
