About the Book

TERRA ist ein einzigartiges Portrat unserer Erde, eine Verneigung vor dem Wunder des Lebens 4,5 Milliarden Jahre nach seiner Entstehung steht unser Planet in der Blute seiner Entwicklung. Außergewohnliche Bedingungen waren die Ursache dafur, dass wir eine Vielfalt wunderbarer Landschaften vorfinden, die Lebensraume eines unvergleichlichen Artenreichtums sind. Der vielfach ausgezeichnete Fotograf Michael Martin hat sich auf die Reise begeben und portratiert in nie dagewesener Fotoqualitat die ganze Schonheit der Erde mit ihren Wusten und Regenwaldern, den Savannen, Steppen und Vulkanen und dem Leben im Sudpazifik und Nordpolarmeer. In profunden Sachtexten schildert der Autor die faszinierende Erdgeschichte von ihren Anfangen bis heute, eine Geschichte voller Katastrophen und Ruckschlage – aber immer kam das Leben reichhaltiger und vielfaltiger zuruck. Dabei richtet sich sein Blick auch auf den Menschen, der seit seinem ersten Auftauchen vor 180,000 Jahren fortwahrend in die Natur eingreift und inzwischen seine eigene Lebensgrundlage gefahrdet. In TERRA zeichnet Michael Martin mit dem Wissen des Geografen und dem Auge des Fotografen das ganz große Bild des Planeten Erde Zu Beginn begeben wir uns auf eine spannende Reise durch die Erdgeschichte. Wissenschaftlich fundiert und reich illustriert, werden die verschiedenen Erdzeitalter beleuchtet, und Michael Martin beschreibt die Erde als Organismus, der sich in einem dynamischen Gleichgewicht befand, bevor der Mensch eingriff. Der opulente Bildteil widmet sich zehn Regionen der Erde, die die klimatische und geologische Vielfalt unseres Planeten widerspiegeln. Dazu reiste Michael Martin vom Pazifischen Feuerring uber Polynesien, die Anden und das Himalaya-Gebirge bis ins zerkluftete Rift Valley. Er besuchte die Eiswusten der Arktis und die Sandwusten der Arabischen Halbinsel, war unterwegs in Sibirien und dem Amazonas-Regenwald. Atemberaubende Aufnahmen von spektakularen Naturphanomenen und Naturlandschaften faszinieren ebenso wie einfuhlsame Fotografien der dort heimischen Menschen. Abschließend blicken wir auf die großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Den Eingriff des Menschen machen Kapitel zum Klimawandel und zum Artensterben, aber auch zur Urbanisierung, zur Armut und zum Kulturwandel deutlich. Michael Martin beschaftigt sich ferner mit der Zukunft unseres Planeten und der Suche nach der zweiten Erde in den Weiten des Alls. Schonheit, Vielfalt und Fragilitat der Erde, herausragend festgehalten von Michael Martin Bildgewaltig fangt Michael Martin die Vielfalt und die Einzigartigkeit der Erde ein. So ist TERRA ein opulenter Bildband, der die zehn Gesichter der Erde in atemberaubenden Fotografien vorstellt. Sie machen deutlich, was fur ein einzigartiger Ort die Erde ist und was wir verlieren, wenn es uns nicht gelingt, unseren Planeten besser zu schutzen.
