  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Long known for her insightful and thought-provoking political journalism, author Elizabeth Kolbert now tackles the controversial and increasingly urgent subject of global warming. In what began as groundbreaking three-part series in the&lt;i&gt; New Yorker&lt;/i&gt;, for which she won a National Magazine Award in 2006, Kolbert cuts through the competing rhetoric and political agendas to elucidate for Americans what is really going on with the global environment and asks what, if anything, can be done to save our planet. Now updated and with a new afterword, &lt;i&gt;Field Notes from a Catastrophe&lt;/i&gt; is the book to read on the defining issue and greatest challenge of our times.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[A well-done, if discouraging, overview of climate change and how societies are reacting to it.  The first several chapters present various case studies of effects, ranging from an Alaskan village that is being relocated inland because of rising seas, to changing butterfly distributions, to mosquitoe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14316192">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[i read about three chapters, the minimum that i could get away with and still not feel bad about showing up to literate urbanites.  basically, it was interesting to see how the US politics have held up any progress, but more importantly, how hosed we are with china ramping up.  we learned pretty muc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10255024">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great essays (you may know if you read her in The New Yorker), and very worth reading; you'll understand that what's happening to the world, ecologically speaking, and how it affects humans.  Gas prices (up at times, down at others) are not the reason to care.  We're accelerating rapid change ... th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41491451">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[   While everything that Kolbert says is probably truthful and of course very important, I didn't love the book. It's hard to criticize a book that provides facts about a global crisis but I had trouble getting into it. Kolbert, rather than doing much of anything on her own seemingly, tagged along m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28013486">more...</a>]]></body>

I highly suggest buying this book for anyone in your life who doesn't believe that human-caused global warming is something all scientists (who don't work directly for coal, petroleum, or auto interests) agree on and that there's ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50432981">more...</a>]]></body>
