Аннотация:
A visual guide to the current state of the world's demographic, economic and environmental situation, its trends and future predictions. Each spread tells a story with easy to read graphical presentation. Each topic is presented by clear world maps, tables, graphs and photographs. Through thematic maps and infographics it illustrates the extent and complexity of development patterns, successes and failures and comparative outcomes. It draws on the authoritative statistics from the World Bank's World Development indicators. Each spread has a balance of mapping and statistical information represented as graphs and/or statistical tables, fact boxes, illustrations/photographs supported with narrative text. World Watch concentrates on the challenges of climate change, resource degradation, population growth, health, poverty, energy, food and agriculture. This is the ideal 'go-to' resource for those who understand the importance of caring for a healthy global environment.
