Book Review: Climate Change"Historical perspective leads off, followed by explanations of some of the science behind climate change... vivid examples of what's happening around the world: melting glaciers, rising oceans, disappearing wildlife. Indeed, the picture she paints is disturbing, though her writing is straightforward and her tone never alarmist, even as she makes clear the difficulties that must be faced to make a difference. There's plenty of fact here, and the science is particularly well explained..."
