Saving Earth: Climate Change and the Fight for Our Future; Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich

USD 7.00

By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change--including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story, and ours.Expanded into full book form from the riveting 2018 issue of New York Times Magazine, and adapted here for younger readers, Losing Earth tells the human story of climate change from the distant past into the present day, wrestling with the long shadow of our failures, what might be ahead for today's youth, and crucial questions of how we understand the world we live in. It is a call to action, a riveting dramatic history, and a rare literary achievement. April 5, 2022
