Field Notes From a Catastrophe (Hardcover-Used) by Elizabeth Kolbert

The scale of the struggle to halt climate change and save our world is perhaps greater than any challenge humanity has ever faced before. And the threat, if we fail, is nothing less than catastrophe- the extinction of species, the flooding of many of the world's coastal communities and the entry of the earth into a completely new climate regime of which humans have no prior experience. The world has known about global warming since the late 1970's, yet precious little to date has been done in the political arena to halt it. Original. Used hardcover in like new condition. 2006.
