Expanded from a 2018 article for The New York Times Magazine, Nathaniel Rich’s book Losing Earth: A Recent History tells the story of how “a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists […] risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late.”
Rodrigo Corral’s cover conveys the urgency of the book’s content by starkly pairing Ballast with a simple image in a two-color palette.
