Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

Available just in time for the holiday season, TIME's PLANET EARTH: An Illustrated History is the perfect gift for friends and family members of all ages and reaffirms the countless reasons we should care about the future of life on earth.

PLANET EARTH: An Illustrated History takes you on an epic journey of discovery through the wonders of Mother Nature where renowned photographers traveled to far corners of the earth to capture nature's most beautiful and most extreme.

It is not meant to be an encyclopedia of the natural world, yet PLANET EARTH offers readers a wonderfully visual introduction to all the natural sciences: biology, zoology, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and animal behavior. With exquisite photography, you will see nature's eternal and deadly dance between predator and prey; the curious and improbable ways that species adapt to their ecosystems; the fascinating ways that animals and plants reproduce; the lyrical beauties of our most remote and familiar landscapes.

Share the thrill of scientists who are dissecting the first intact specimen of a colossal squid; smile as you look at the beluga whale blows doughnut-shaped rings of air; and marvel as a fuzzy caterpillar blossoms into a butterfly whose wings are as clear as glass and as toxic as a nightshade plant. PLANET EARTH is the perfect balance of stunning images and informative text and will set a new standard in the ecology of the coffee table book.

The new coffee table book from TIME is $29.95. To purchase this wonderful book, click on this link... Time Planet Earth: An Illustrated History
