WONDER AND THE WORLD - CYRIL CHRISTO MARIE WILK...

What kind of world do we want to bequeath to our children? What planet  what future do we want
to pass on to them? In his latest book  Cyril Christo poses the most fundamental of all
questions. Together with his wife Marie Wilkinson and their son Lysander  Christo has been
seeking out the wonders of this world for more than 40 years and across all continents. During
their travels to the Inuit or the first peoples of Africa  they come into contact with
communities who seem to have everything that modern  technological society has lost: time 
family  and an almost inexhaustible kindness towards strangers. The photographers present the
wonder of unspoilt nature in their book  captured in powerful duotone images that provide a
fascinating glimpse into the beauty of life. With a fighting yet sensitive spirit  they share
how their experiences and encounters have guided their son's development and how nature can
serve as a teacher to all children with their irrepressible yearning for wonder. The world's
greatest classroom  nature as the school of life  is threatened as never before by climate
change and the continuous loss of habitat. Christo and Wilkinson regard their book as a
manifesto and a warning  because »without wonder we are lost.«
