This collection takes features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including McKibben's seminal essay "The End of Nature," the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience. In its range, depth, and passion, it promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age. -- adapted from jacket
