The book shows the works of over 30 leading international artists, focusing on the ways in which photographic, video and digital art reflects on our relationship, as individuals and as a society, to the natural environment around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important aspect of this presentation is how individual artists are using their work to initiate and actively support change that seeks to correct the negative impact of human behaviour on the natural environment. The purpose of the book is to provoke, through visual art, new ways of thinking about how we see our role within the natural environment and our connection(s) to the rest of the planet—and how this affects our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile we cannot ignore the problems of the planet today, the book will not simply be a recitation of negative prognoses.
