pickBoswell provides a comprehensive analysis of the increasing global temperatures and the associated heat as the foremost threat to humanity. He highlights that, on an annual basis, heat-related fatalities surpass those caused by all other natural disasters combined. This work serves as an informative resource for the public, particularly aimed at individuals who may be skeptical about the realities of climate change.
pickHistorical depiction of the political and environmental history of about the mid-1980s to present. This is the first nonfiction I‘ve read by Rich, although in the middle of his second (Second Nature). I was aware of much of this history, but really got into this. His writing reminds me of the populist style of Rachel Carson, and I feel he could bring some of these important issues more mainstream at a time when our world desperately needs to care.
“If carbon dioxide were a pizza, then we are expecting the Earth to eat a whole pie rather than just one slice.“
I could see this book used in a later elementary classroom where the book is read as a read aloud and then students choose a topic from the book that they want to complete a project and presentation on. That way, it is a topic they are interested in and also they can share their research with their peers.
pickNonfiction- “The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming“ is a kid-friendly book that explains the issue of climate change in a clear and engaging way. It explores the causes, consequences, and solutions to global warming, using humor, illustrations, and real-world examples that relate to children's lives.
The book accurately highlights the impact of human activities on the environment, such as the burning of fossil fuels in a kid friendly way
