With scrupulous yet accessible science writing intended for the high/low reader, this is a clear presentation of the most recent scholarship and cutting edge theories concerning climate. Combining a popular, anecdotal, narrative history style with the pulse-racing immediacy of journalism, this book provides a sweeping overview of the long history of climate change and the processes and mechanisms that drive it. A generous array of high-caliber, full-color photos are artfully presented to attract the reader's eye and arouse interest in this serious subject.
