Reviews
"If you only read one book about climate change this year, make it this one." --Louis Ammon, Chemistry World, June 2021 "This accessible work offers a relatively comprehensive review of a topic that has been much discussed in published media." --J. Tavakoli, Lafayette College, CHOICE "This book could mark a turning point - the beginning of a paradigm shift."--John Polanyi, University of Toronto, Winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "Sunlight and water have converted carbon dioxide to energy-rich molecules for billions of years. The oil, gas, and coal we have been using for transportation and materials have come from this chemistry. The bad news is that combustion of these fossil fuels continues to harm life on our planet. What to do? The Story of CO2, beautifully crafted by Geoffrey A. Ozin and Mireille F. Ghoussoub, has instructions for us. It is a great read, chock-full of history, facts, and most importantly, ideas about what we should be doing. Highly recommended!"--Harry B. Gray, Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry, and Founding Director, Beckman Institute, California Institute of Technology "This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey of a simple and yet crucial molecule that is essential for life on Earth and our future."--Erwin Reisner, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge "The Story of CO2provides a fascinating take on a molecule that's right under our noses. Ozin and Ghoussoub delve into this simple but powerful gas, which is changing our climate and acidifying our oceans. It's a thoroughly researched history of this essential gas that will leave the reader feeling more hopeful about solutions to our climate crisis and the future of our planet."--Leah C. Stokes, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of California, Santa Barbara, "If you only read one book about climate change this year, make it this one." --Louis Ammon, Chemistry World, June 2021 "This accessible work offers a relatively comprehensive review of a topic that has been much discussed in published media." --J.

Synopsis
The climate crisis requires that we drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions across all sectors of society. The Story of CO2 contributes to this vital conversation by highlighting the cutting-edge science and emerging technologies - a number of which are already commercially available - that can transform carbon dioxide into a myriad of products such as feedstock chemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and fuels. This approach allows us to reconsider CO2 as a resource, and to add "carbon capture and use" to our other tools in the fight against catastrophic climate change. The Story of CO2 explores all aspects of carbon dioxide, from the atomic to the universal perspective, and takes the reader on an epic journey into our physical world, starting from the moment of the Big Bang, all the way to the present world in which atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to grow. This story seeks to inspire readers with the latest carbon utilization technologies and explain how they fit within the broader context of carbon mitigation strategies in the shift towards a sustainable energy economy., The climate crisis requires that we drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions across all sectors of society.

    This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you!

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.
