A new Atlas has just been issued: "One planet, many people" by UNEP.
Quite good: about geaography (human and physical), env.science and global change problems. The challenge of this century : manage ecosystem as efficiently and sustainably as to provide enough services to 7 billons people.

"One Planet, Many People: Atlas of Our Changing Environment demonstrates how our growing number of people and their consumption patterns are shrinking our natural resource base. The challenge is, how do we satisfy human needs without compromising the health of ecosystems. One Planet Many People is an additional wake-up call to this need."
