Publisher's Note
Combines scientific analysis with lavish photography to illuminate the effects of climate change on the global ecosystem, in a visual treatise that draws on expert contributions to cover such subjects as retreating glaciers, sinking Alaskan tundra villages, and eroding coral reefs. Original.

Schmidt, a climate scientist at NASA, and photographer Wolfe seek to advance public education about human-induced climate change in a combination of arresting images and lucid explanations of the science of global warming and the pursuit of global cooperation in adopting new, sustainable ways of living. With contributions by 16 scientists, engineers, writers, activists, and photographers, Schmidt and Wolfe address a host of observable changes, from the melting of ice and permafrost at the poles to the rising of sea levels in cities such as Venice and Miami...-- Excerpt, Booklist.

Industry Reviews
"[I]t's inspiring to learn about the work of these cutting-edge experts as they marvel over the finely calibrated checks and balances of the earth's systems, elucidate the ways human-induced climate change is making the planet less conducive to life, and chronicle inventive approaches to averting environmental catastrophe."
