This is a popular science book about the earth's ecology. It uses stunning aerial photography and vivid ink paintings to show the other side of the earth that we cannot see. The aerial photos are magnificent and beautiful, showing the other side of the earth from high in the sky. The simple ink paintings and poetic and concise language reveal the problems that exist on the earth. The collision and conflict of the two types of pictures bring readers a different reading experience, which can guide readers to think and take action. The appendix at the end of the book is rich in entries and comprehensively introduces information related to the earth's ecology. It is a popular science and educational book.

【Editor's recommendation】

- Unique format, with large aerial photos and freehand ink painting books, from both natural and humanistic perspectives, showing children the "invisible earth" that is usually difficult to see.

- The book is recommended by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, the director of the classic aerial documentary "Home" with a high score of 9.2 on Douban and a world-class aerial photography master. All the aerial photos in the book are from the French Aerial Photography Agency founded by him.

- Forty documentary-quality full-color aerial photos from different angles of high altitude, from different corners of the world, showing the most realistic side of the earth to children.

- Freehand ink paintings full of humanistic thinking and sincere and emotional texts can cultivate children's perception of beauty and touch their hearts.

- Nearly a hundred terms and explanations to help children understand ecological issues, and to introduce and sort out the world's potential environmental and social problems, "diagnosing" the earth.
