description: Going beyond the headlines this work by leading NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt and master photographer Joshua Wolfe illustrates as never before the ramifications of shifting climate. Photographic spreads show retreating glaciers sinking villages in Alaskas tundra and drying lakes. The text follows adventurous scientists through the ice caps at the poles to the coral reefs of the tropical seas. Marshaling data spanning centuries and continents the book sparkles with cutting-edge research and visual records including contributions from experts on atmospheric science oceanography paleoclimatology technology politics and the polar regions. As Jeffrey D. Sachs writes in his powerful foreword Climate Change is a tour de force of public education.
