Farrar, Straus and Giroux | 6/4/2019 Surprise That Borders Have Become So Porous
Losing Earth A Recent History Nathaniel Rich An instant classic: the most urgent story of our times, brilliantly reframed, beautifully told By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change—including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story, and ours. The New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon—the subject of news coverage, editorials, and SCIENCE conversations all over the world. In its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age, it made vivid the MCD | 4/9/2019 moral dimensions of our shared plight. 9780374191337 | $25.00 / $32.50 Can.

Sophie's Planet
Sophie’s Planet Dear Young People, I am writing for the sake of all young people, and I hope to communicate with those of you of high school and college age. You must be concerned about your future, and hopefully also about the future of your nation and your planet. You have the potential to affect all of those futures. That is a bold assertion – it may seem like a homily for a graduation ceremony. I wish to persuade you that it is not only a plausible goal, but that it is essential that you alter the course upon which older generations have set us. No doubt you know that global climate is changing. Moreover, political polarization and disaffection within and among nations is rising. Life prospects for youth, in many nations, are not improving. These matters are interrelated. While these threats are not being addressed effectively, nevertheless a basis for optimism emerges – if the global situation is assessed objectively and if the issues are well understood. “Well understood” is the key phrase here. Is there any reason you should believe that I can help you understand these matters? The best reason I can offer is that I am trained in scientific objectivity, and so done by a master, Prof. James Van Allen at the University of Iowa. I will always try to make clear the rationale for my conclusions, warn you when subjective and political factors may be involved, and leave ultimate conclusions to you. I describe where I came from, so you can assess what prejudices that might introduce. -
