**The description: **
> In the dark of the entire universe, there is one small planet that glows like a jewel.
>
> Earth, the Jeweled Planet is a meditation on that miracle - a world fitted for human life, where wonderful animals roam free and the very environment welcomes people home. In ten short chapters, Edward Branco walks you through the wonder of it all: the rarity of our blue world, the creatures who share it with us, and the delicate balance that holds everything together.
>
> But the jewel has its twisters. There are those who would discredit Earth's creation itself - bending it, twisting it off its balance - so that their own small corner might shine as a false perfection. In reaching for that vanity, they corrupt something far older and greater than themselves: the creative origin of the universe.
>
> Written in plain, wondering language, this is not a book of anger but of awe - and of clear seeing. It asks only that you look at the jewel again, truly look, and remember what it is.
>
> Because the jewel endures.
