• Summary:"A collection of the New Yorker's groundbreaking reporting from the front lines of climate change-including writing from Bill McKibben, Elizabeth Kolbert, Ian Frazier, Kathryn Schulz, and more"-- Provided by publisher.
  The New Yorker has devoted enormous attention to climate change, describing the causes of the crisis, the political and ecological conditions we now find ourselves in, and the scenarios and solutions we face. This collection takes features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including McKibben's seminal essay "The End of Nature," the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience. In its range, depth, and passion, it promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age. -- adapted from jacket
