About this item
Elizabeth Kolberts environmental classic Field Notes from a Catastrophe first developed out of a groundbreaking, National Magazine Award-winning three-part series in The New Yorker. She expanded it into a still-concise yet richly researched and damning book about climate change a primer on the greatest challenge facing the world today. But in the years since, the story has continued to develop the situation has become more dire, even as our understanding grows. Now, Kolbert returns to the defining book of her career. Shell add a chapter bringing things up-to-date on the existing text, plus shell add three new chapters--on ocean acidification, the tar sands, and a Danish town thats gone carbon neutral--making it, again, a must-read for our moment.,
