Rachel is the bestselling author of "Women in Science" and this time turns her gaze to producing a book that showcases what an amazing planet we live on.
This illustrated tour of our planet's ecosystems both large and small, from reefs, deserts and rainforests to a single drop of water not only shows how beautiful our world is, but what we stand to lose if we don't join the rallying call to action to address and combat climate change before it's too late.
Through exquisite illustrations, maps and infographics, Rachel explains how our planet works, from its incredible ecosystems and the plants and animals that live there to the importance of biodiversity, weather cycles and more.
