Our planet is changing more rapidly now than at any other point in human history, and the deepening climate crisis is one of the most pressing issues we face. Earthweek has been reporting each week on the events that shape our world for more than 30 years -- from rampant deforestation and pervasive plastic pollution to tropical cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, even monkey attacks and snake infestations. The stories in Earthweek are as diverse as nature itself.
A fascinating and informative read for casual readers who want to keep abreast of these events, Earthweek is also a superb educational resource for students. Earthweek is available as a composed page in color or black-and-white, and in U.S. and Metric versions.
