An unprecedented union of scientific analysis and stunning photography illustrating the effects of climate change
on the global ecosystem.
Going beyond the headlines, this work by leading NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt and master photographer Joshua
Wolfe illustrates as never before the ramifications of shifting climate. Photographic spreads show retreating glaciers,
sinking villages in Alaska's tundra, and drying lakes. The text follows adventurous scientists through the ice
caps at the poles to the coral reefs of the tropical seas. Marshaling data spanning centuries and continents, the
book sparkles with cutting-edge research and visual records, including contributions from experts on atmospheric
science, oceanography, paleoclimatology, technology, politics, and the polar regions. As Jeffrey D. Sachs writes
in his powerful foreword, "Climate Change is a tour de force of public education."
