Book Description:

War, climate change, natural disasters, and our own destructive behavior have endangered some of Earth's most precious treasures, both man-made and natural. This profusely illustrated volume pays tribute to some of the wonders that remain at risk throughout the world, from the archeological remains of Afghanistan's Bamiyan Valley, devastated by the Taliban, to Alaska's Denali National Park, harmed by tourism and uncontrolled development.
