'This enjoyable book is an important primer for children interested in the environment.' - Tim Flannery

Our Earth is a remarkable place. We need to celebrate its diverse and complex beauty, and save it for future generations.

With stunning images and a child-friendly text based on the latest scientific research, The Big Picture Book of Environments explores the effects of changing climate on environments around the world, including the great rivers, deserts, Arctic regions, cities, abyssal depths and forests.

Dr John Long is Head of Sciences at Museum Victoria. His previous publication, The Big Picture Book, won a Wilderness Society Award and an award for Excellence in Educational Publishing, and was shortlisted for a Children's Book Council of Australia award.
