Filmed in dozens of countries, Yann Arthus-Bertrand's latest work showcases the happiness, pain, stress and fears of people. Xu Fan reports.
Aliens invading the Earth is dramatic stuff. But, something like this - which was novel for audiences decades ago - is failing to rouse viewers today.

The antique map is gorgeous, though it's showing a little wear since it was engraved in 1778. I'd stopped in the Portobello Road market stall hoping to find an old Chinese map. Instead, I was grasping a poster-size work of cartography headlined "Boheme, Silesie, Moravie" - the now-Czech homeland of my late grandfather.
