Planet Earth
As you‘ve never Seen It Before
Alastair Fothergill, Series Producer
“See the world as you've never Seen it Before!”
Planet Earth -the companion book to the Emmy winning
Discovery channel /BBC series, presents us with
spectacular images of natures most beautiful attractions.
Travel as you read to remote locations, through the lens
of talented wildlife photographers who braved inclement
weather conditions and in some cases waited for months
to capture images of animal behavior never filmed or
photographed before. Series producer Alastair Fothergill
states “… This remarkable yet beautiful book should stand
not just as a revelation, but a celebration of the wonders
that our planet still retains at the beginning of the twenty
first century. It surely must also be seen as an eloquent
rallying call to all of us who care for the Earth’s welfare to
redouble our efforts to protect those wonders that still
survive.’’ View this book as if the planet may never look
the same again.
We have all began to
experience the incremental
changes in weather patterns-

rise in temperature, a
phenomena called - Global

climate crisis, that if left
unchecked -will not only
continue to affect the delicate
balance of our ecological
system but also, life as
we know it. Our fall/winter

and take active responsibility that is complementary to it's
ecological and environmental change. Truly a living

On the Move
By Bono
Amazing things happened when a rock superstar was invited to speak at
the ‘National Prayer Breakfast…’ A collective awareness was reignited,
lives were saved and the world was moved to action.
Bono - lead singer of ‘U2’; addressed politicians and faith leaders at the “National
Prayer Breakfast’ in Washington D.C. His powerful message revealed in the pages
of “On The Move” reminds us of the effect of HIV/AIDS on the continent of Africa
and our responsibility as worldcitizens to become our brothers’ keepers. A concise
yet powerful read, brilliantly captures the tender heart of Africa and highlights the
victims of the devastating disease in rare yet compassionate photographs taken
by Bono - in his first visit to the continent. As an added bonus, all proceeds of it's
sales are being donated to the ‘One Campaign’ to end poverty. Although highly
endorsed by some of the most respected dignitaries around the world; “ On the
move “ is sure to personally challenge each of us with the following statement,
“we cannot in good conscience - sit by and watch.”
