Bruce Presents Earth Day at 50: The Human Planet

Bruce Presents Earth Day at 50: The Human Planet with Andrew Revkin and George Steinmetz.

Renowned science writer Andrew Revkin and exploration photographer George Steinmetz will discuss their collaboration on the new book, The Human Planet: Earth at the Dawn of the Anthropocene (Abrams, 2020). Featuring 200 four-color photographs taken from Steinmetz’s signature aerial vantage point, The Human Planet is a sweeping visual chronicle of Earth, revealing both its untrammeled natural features and the human project that relentlessly redesigns its surface in its quest to build shelter, grow food, generate energy, and create beauty through art and architecture.
