She expanded it into a still-concise yet richly researched and damning book about climate change: a primer on the greatest challenge facing the world today. <p/>But in the years since, the story has continued to develop; the situation has become more dire, even as our understanding grows. Now, Kolbert returns to the defining book of her career. She has added a chapter bringing things up-to-date on the existing text, plus three new chapters--on ocean acidification, the tar sands, and a Danish town that's gone carbon neutral--making it, again, a must-read for our moment.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Among the few irreplaceable volumes yet written about climate change." --<i>Boston Globe</i> <p/>"If you have time this year for just one book on science, nature, or the environment, this should be it." --<i>San Diego Union-Tribune</i> <p/>"A perfect primer on global warming.
