Why This Book Matters

Avatar is one of the most visually ambitious films of its time, and The World of Avatar documents the creative work behind Pandora. The film’s world was built with concept designers, an astrophysicist, a botanist, a painter, and a linguist who created the Na’vi language. This volume also traces the expansion of the franchise through Cirque du Soleil, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
