A new edition of the book that launched Elizabeth Kolbert\'s career as an environmental writer--updated with three new chapters, making it, yet again, irreplaceable ( Boston Globe ).
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..
Now, Kolbert returns to the defining book of her career.
But in the years since, the story has continued to develop; the situation has become more dire, even as our understanding grows.
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.
Elizabeth Kolbert\'s environmental classic Field Notes from a Catastrophe first developed out of a groundbreaking, National Magazine Award-winning three-part series in The New Yorker .
